More Italy...

So...whats new in Italy? hmm...classes are going along as usual. they're pretty good. Wednesday my italian professor came in with Chocolates for Valentines day (yea 10 years Mom!) and we developed our first role of film in my photography class! We get to print them this wedndesday, but it was really cool. um....Wed night, stef, danielle, kim and I went out to eat for Vday. Had some good pizza. but apparently at the restaurant we were at...later they were having a magic show, and the magician was eating while we were, so when he kinda finished, and we kinda finished. he came over and was doing a little show for us. Had stef and danielle doign allt his stuff, and kim was completely consumed by these ring-type things he gave her to get apart. she never did it. lol. even though he showed her how to do it about 5 times. it was so funny. Stef and I were crying we were laughing so hard. It was just so random.

So Friday, Stef and I went to Cortona (which is actually where Under the Tuscan Sun was filmed, not in Orvieto). It was gorgeous. It was a cross between Tuscania and Civita di Bagnoregia (the dying city). So cute. and we got gelato at Dolce Vita (Sweet Life). From there we went to Arezzo, which was ok. I mean, it was Italy, so how can it be bad. But at times I kind of felt as if I was in the US. We were there for probably like an hour. Ate some food, took lots of pictures and left because I was suddenly feverish. So I basically laid around in bed all weekend. Did a lot of reading for classes, and the Count of Monte Cristo (the unabridged version this time). sooo good. highly recommended.

alright, well this weekend we're headed to london for a few days! So i should really go and try to get my homework done before we leave! Ciao!
