classes

this week was the first week of classes. my "weekend" started today, since i only have classes monday through wednesday. not a bad deal, right? monday i had my first italian language class. the professor jumped on the desk and played motown music in the background. tuesday i had my food, culture, and society class at 9 am. we are going to be cooking in that class, which is both a good and a bad thing. it's good because it means that i can cook in italy...and eat too. it's bad because it sounds kind of difficult. during our first class we made crepelle fiorentina, which were crepes filled with spinach and ricotta and covered with a cheese sauce. it tasted reeeally good, but it was not easy to make. then later in the day i had my social psychology class, with an american professor. yesterday i had my intercultural communication class, which seems like it's going to be really good. then i had writing about florence, which i am unsure about. everyone seems way more intelligent than me. then i had my second italian class of the week.
today is lauren's and my dad's birthdays. happy birthdays to them!
tonight i am going to an opera. should be fancy.
