Here we go...
So after many many hours of studying flash cards, notes, images, followed by four hours of continuous writing I'm finally done with midterms! Although the prep work sucked I actually enjoyed taking the tests. I got to just write and write about art, and even if I forgot a date here and there, it was way less intimidating than an o-chem synthesis or bio lab identification.
Before I depart for imminent break I want to just give some background flavor to life here in
unfortunately
So far, some of my favorite memories have been
getting gelato from Giolittis since its the best!
losing my way behind Giancolo hill and finding a spectacular view
Reading on the Pantheon steps
Walking to the Trevi fountain at night
Going to the il Forno in Trastevere nearly every day
Walking across the Ponte sisto! (every day)
having Marco know I want "un cappuccino!" when I walk into the cafe
eating pizza on the Pantheon porch
taking pics of children and old Italians at the open air market
The desert calzone at Dar Poetas
taking my sketchbook almost everywhere
coming home to Trastevere
The best part is that every day is different, whether schizophrenic weather, class in a museum, or hour long walks home, Rome continues to surprise me!
sadly leaving this place that has become so much of a home
and off to explore what
ciao for now!
