Helloooooo everybody! (sorry, no idea why I was channeling Dr. Nick from
The Simpsons there....)
Had my first test yesterday and got it back today...did very well, which is a relief because I didn't know what to expect having never taken a summer course (and in nice, sunny Italy, no less) before so I'm the bit of studying I did before the test actually helped. Phew!
Taking it easy this weekend -- don't want to fall behind in the cursed readings for the course -- and on Monday interesting things should be going on because it'll be Palio day, which is a horse race and pretty much THE big event here in Siena. There'll be trial races starting Friday morning. They've laid down (in superquick time, too) the dirt in the Campo so when I get back to res in the afternoon I have to remember to clean off my sandals. :P Just cleaned my floor yesterday, too, so that's an extra incentive there...
Hmm, what for lunch today? Mensa (cafeteria)? Pizza from somewhere? Panini sandwich? *shrug* I'll come up with something. Ate most of the food I had at my res, though, because when you're studying and getting a bit bored and there's food sitting on the shelf right in front of you...well....let's just say - the food goes quickly. :) Should go back to the grocery store this weekend, I guess.
All right, just bought more Internet time and don't want to use too much up, so ta for now.
Hope everything in Canada's going okay -- no Canadian news here unless I check online. :P
