where did the last month go?

I feel like so much has happened in the last month that I don't know where to begin... we had midterms, my parents came to visit me in Florence, I turned 21, I went to Greece, I had a crappy week after Greece getting midterms back, and sorting some things out at school, I had an amazing weekend in Prague, and then another week at school that was filled with ups and downs. I dropped my art history class, which I think is for the best as it was stressing me out too much and I'm ok on credits for Santa Clara. The classes that I do need to do well on that actually count are Sociology and Nutrition. Nutrition and Health, believe it or not, has been my hardest class here. We have 5 tests throughout the semester, and each test is on 3 chapters of infomration or about 150 pages. My first test really didnt go too well, but the 2nd was better, and the third was the best, but it was still an 80...multiple choice and I don't do too well...but Im keepin on keepin on. Well, I dont want to spend the whole blog sharing my grade worries with you, but they defintiely were there, but I have improved the situation for sure.

I went to my first Italian movie theater tonight. Myra and I saw Public Enemies in Italian after getting apperitivo with 2 other girls, Mary and Maggie. The seats in the theater, just like Italian women are are very small..i dont know how dad and michael woud manage as i could barely fit in them and they have an intermission during the movie.Certainly it was hard to follow but I understod more than I thought I would. Also, instead of a huge concessions stand they just have a man who goes around holding a tray of a few things to sell during the intermission like water, coke, popcorn, and ice cream bars. The theater was smaller than ones at home and actually not freezing cold but quite warm inside.

I finally saw the David on Friday at the Academia. He is truly massive. Maplethorpe's photography exhibit showing the human body forms and movement was also there. Quite the contrast in types of art.

Sleep is calling me, but when I get a new uploader I will post some pictures and go back and recount fall break and Prague and bits and pieces of the last month.
