I've been nearly a month in Italy and classes only just started last week. I am, in fact, in both Art Restoration and Art History, and it looks like the one will couple very nicely with the other. None of my classes seem too concerned with scheduling conferences yet--a vague mention of "We'll meet on Tuesdays" from Art History is all I've gotten so far. Tuesdays look like they'll be busy.
By pure luck, I don't have class on Mondays, so it looks like I might be able to take an extended trip out to see some darling friends in Scotland and England, which I look very forward to. It also means that they can come and visit me for a weekend!
Unfortunately, having no class on Mondays means I have all three classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, one class Wednesday and one class Friday. The Duomo choir, which I got into after the audition, meets on--surprise!--Tuesdays and Thursdays. Untill 11:00pm. Even after the first day, I was too exhausted to know to get off at the right bus stop. Which means that, for me, no Duomo choir.
On top of that, the entirety of my school has gotten some kind of malicious cold. I spent most of the weekend bundled up in bed (watching Doctor Who) trying to kick it, but I woke up this morning even worse than before. Now not only do my throat, stomach, head and nose hurt, but I'm altogether quite dizzy.
SLC took us on a trip to Carrara, where Michelangelo's white marble came from. It was very beautiful--there are man-made caverns beneath the mountain and white faces of sheer rock along the mountainside. We saw marble workshops and marble sculpture exhibits. Everything was marble.

BEAUTIFUL! Love the photo. Green with envy and bubbly with excitement for you -- I suppose that makes one disastrous-looking brew. XD
Congratulations on making the Duomo choir! I'm so sorry the schedule doesn't work out to allow it. I know you were looking forward to it. But your classes sound right up your alley! How cool!
Loves to you as ever. You're in my prayers.
Hope your cold is better now!
We got up all the files you worked on this summer and there are over 17,000 maps online, which you certainly helped us achieve.
Italy sounds great, if a bit exhausting.
Great shots - looking forward to reading more down the road!
Get better soon.
Sorry you're not going to be able to do the Choir thing.
