It's hard to write a post in your blog every. single. day. I want to remember the time I've spent in this beautiful city, but I'm seriously over come by a disease called laziness and too busy. It's going to be quite hard to overcome in these last two weeks.
These few days have just blurred into one hot mess. But seriously. It's still hot and that's all that is on your mind. Today we didn't have check in at 9 which meant sleep in. I actually tried to get up at 8:30 this morning to grab breakfast but I just couldn't pull myself out of bed. The amount of sleep I have gotten here is next to none and I need all the shut eye I can get.
But as usual, when you start the day later, everything goes by so quickly. The first thing that was mandatory was Italian at 2pm. Man, I hate it. With a passion. Sure I love the language and think it's beautiful, and I also want to fit into the culture, but I just have the hardest time getting it into my head and learning it. I pretty much stared at my teacher today and moved my lips to make it sound like I was trying, but all and all language is not my cup of tea.
Today we had to turn in our first video assignment. I was partners with Hailey and ours kicked some major butt. We definitely had one of the better videos, if not the best, in the class. Of course we weren't going up against the video kids, but the majority of people had the same video experience so I'm very proud of the final result. We still have our main project, but I'm glad to know that Hailey and I are on the way to greatness.
After the students presented their assignments, the teachers presented a little video that they made. Go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuSlu6b1cQ This video was one of the cutest things I have ever seen! They were so encouraging and just really want us to have a blast filming and editing. My minor role in this short YouTube video is not my shining moment, so heads up. Steve, one of the video teachers, has these camera sunglasses. So when I went over to him and started talking, I didn't even realize that he was filming. I'll be on my toes next time.
The previous day, I had happened to chance upon the group of video teachers and they were doing the same assignment as the students were, so we could compare our work. The had me go into the gelato caffe and eat gelato. And they paid for it, so I was like hollllaaaa. Then I took a selfie with one of my favoirite professors', Berry. They really made my day.
World Cup also started today. I went down to the piazza to hang
out with some friends and watch the game on tv’s that were placed outside by
the tables. It was really chill. The only downside was that I wasn’t in a good
mood. I headed back early, gelato in hand, because my boy toy decided to
cancel our skype date. So now I’m being passive aggressive and writing about
how annoying he is so that he get’s the message of how frustrating it is to
date someone who will rather study than talk to his girlfriend for 10 minutes.
That’s fine by me, I’ll just get an Italian man.
