I feel like today was really long, not in a strenuous “oh my god, I’ve had such a long day” kind of way, but in a “wow, a lot happened today” way. It all started at 7:30 AM, when I woke up to do some last minute hard-core studying for my art history exam at 9. I think the exam went pretty well. I mean, I know I got some things wrong, but I also know I got a lot of stuff right. I’m not tearing myself up over it because, like I said, it doesn’t factor into my GPA. Weird. Anyway, I finished the exam in about an hour, and so Alyssa and I decided to sit outside, get a coffee, and study some Italian. We went to Bar Pitti, which, I swear, has the best panini in the city. Colleen joined us shortly after we finished our coffees, and we all got sammies and enjoyed the sunshine. It was a beautiful day, and none of us wanted to waste it inside. Alyssa and I popped back home for our books, went to Italian but, dun dun dunnnnnn, Italian was cancelled again today. I’m thinking our professor is really, really sick, because she never misses class. It kind of sucks that we lost our only two days of review for the final. Some people are freaking out. I am not. If I don’t know the tenses by now, I’m not going to learn them in a day before the exam. Anyway, since class was cancelled, Alyssa and I met up with Andrea and Mattia. I bought new sunglasses. We ate gelato. It was nice walking outside, and we ended up at the Pitti Palace. Alyssa bought some Florence tourist cards, and we taught Andrea and Mattia how to play the game Bullshit. It was really nice and really fun. Afterward, us girls went home, had a snack, watched a Gilmore, etc. I’ve been studying off and on for the rest of the day for my literature and Italian exams, and I feel pretty ready. I also took a really nice nap and talked to my family for a long time, because it’s my little sister’s birthday today. I spent way too much time on the internet, but it was worth it. Anyway, that’s the majority of what happened, at least all the good stuff. Tomorrow is another early day because of the exam, so I’m going to head off to bed. I still hate the mold.
