We had Italian class at 9:00 this morning. We got totally lost walking there and were almost 30 minutes late. Hopefully we can get to class on time tomorrow. Our teacher tried to get me to roll my tongue when I said some of the words, but I physically cannot. I sound extremely odd when I try too. I did try to do it to prove to her that it is not on my list of talents. I was planning on writing some of the Italian sayings and words I learned, but I kind of already forgot.. so maybe tomorrow. I will have Italian every morning for the first two weeks so hopefully something will stick.

After Italian we had our first studio class. We basically just talked about our ideas and what we plan on doing. Then we all went out to start sketching.

I went running after class. Running through the streets of Trastevere is so beautiful. I ran down to the run down Tiber river too. The weather here is kind of chilly. It is windy and in the 60’s most days.

Tonight I bought chicken wings and cooked asparagus! When we unwrapped the asparagus it had chunks of DIRT/MUD on the bottom.. it smelt like dirt. I guess it was just very fresh? We cut that part off though and it was very tasty. It was nice to have something that was not spaghetti. I have eaten spaghetti a total of 5 times.. and I have been here 5 days. I found corn at the grocery store today though! I am very happy about that one.
