Excited for Friday to go to Venice's Carnivale! I hear they have a lot of crazy masked people hired to roam around and scare tourists.
Things have been pretty good. Checking out more places around town. Last Friday was fun because it was Leann's (a classmate) birthday so we all went to a few bars (Irish pub, Bella Vista, Caffe del Corso) and this dance place called The Gallery which was fun but the music wasn't great.
It's been super cold here recently but blue skies mostly.
One of my classes, Book Art, is really fun and interesting. The teacher is from Australia and it probably one of the most good natured and patient people I've known. I guess you kind of have to be in her line of work. Basically, we learn how to bind books/journals and eventually the final project is of our own creative conception. The examples of previous projects are so beautiful/ painstakingly made with care. I'm really into the class and I think everyone else is too. We all get caught up in the physical processes: the sewing, folding and cutting of paper, designing etc. Tomorrow= two art history classes.
This is also weird: the canned tuna here is infinitely better than dumb albacore. Also there's a powdered instant drink which is orzo (barley) mixed with coffee which is the bombbbbbb. coffeecoffeecoffee. hahaha
more later

Your Book Art class sounds really cool! What do your art history classes focus on? I don't remember if it was you who already tried Fanta, but Fanta in Europe is SO much better than in the U.S. I never tried tuna. What does the orzo taste like? It sounds bizarre, but I take your word for it that it is good.
