On Monday, I found out that I will be out of class at 3:30 pm at the latest. And sometimes, on very special occasions like today, I'll be done at 12:30 pm. I absolutely love that I'm living a student life again. I haven't had free afternoons since undergrad, and there really is no better place or time of the year to spend an afternoon than Florence in Springtime. I do have a bit of homework every night, and I've heard that things get pretty intense by the 3rd week of the course, but so far my classmates and I have been able to fit in quite a bit of sightseeing in the sun.
Yesterday, my classmate Amanda and I went for a walk down the Arno and then sat in the Piazza di Santa Croce and drank a beer as the sun slipped behind the buildings. Then, last night, I impressed two of my other classmates, Keri and DeDe (who is also my roommate) with my cooking skills. I made Risotta alla Milanese, and I'm happy to say that they both told me they loved it.
So far, so good in Florence... I love the class and the teachers, and my 4 classmates all seem to be great people. I hope the trend continues!

It sounds idyllic! Enjoy every second you can (and then tell us all about it so that we can live vicariously through you)! :)
