Going by so fast...

I cant believe it is october already! These weeks are just flying by now...teachers are discussing midterms and fall break trip planning is all completed. I got another italian quiz back today and got a 95 so that was nice :) I really want that 100 though i keep doing 1 small thing wrong on every quiz but ill get there haha (not that i should complain about a 95 im very content with it). I dont have too much work this week which is nice so yesterday me sarah and amanda went out to this club called Club Yab. It was pretty fun and we got in right away bc the guy working the door I had met a couple weeks ago at a bar and hes from new york also but now lives in florence so he obviously always helps out a fellow new yorker. we also got to sit at a VIP table so that was pretty cool. Today i just went to the gym in the morning as usual for about an hour or two, and tried to teach Marianella how to bench press. It was hilarious, shes super tiny and latina and in her super latina accent was like "Oh i thought i was so strong! ohmygosh! this is so hard!" Sarah and i were dying laughing, shes too funny. after that i came back to my house and made my own lunch of prosciutto, mozzarella, and tomatoes on a wrap which was delicioussss. I also had some yogurt and a few other things. Anna is  too funny about how much i eat, last night she made pasta and than hamburger type things (but they dont eat them with a bun so basically just meat) and she made extra hamburgers just for me! she gives everyone else 1 on their plate and is like these are all yours and gives me three "mangio! mangio!" "eat, eat!" hahaha and of course i eat it all, im a growing grl :) Anna is a great cool which is nice bc i heard about a couple homestays that bentley students have and the food is not quite as delicious, so i lucked out. we eat ALOT of pasta buttt thats teh itialian way haha tonight im just staying in having dinner here and doing a lil research for a paper thats not due for awhile but want to get done what work I can while i have free time so i dont have to worry about it when the time comes and im jet setting to barcelona or greece or somewhere. Im so excited for my trips we just booked the hostel that were staying in while were in Barcelona. Theres a guy from bentley, James, whos studying abroad there and he told us what hostel is the nicest and sent us a whole list of all these places to go and sights to see while were there which was super nice of him. unfortunately he wont really be there while were there bc its his fall break too so hell be traveling around as well but might get to see him for a night or two. Hayley will also be in barcelona while we are there so tahtll be super fun, Kim and Kailey from richmond are sutdying there so maybe theyll be able to show us around a bit. The hostel were staying in is called EquityPoint Centric in Barcelona. Its looks super nice on the website and i had some correspondence with the owner about a few questions we had when booking and he was so helpful and nice. I think its going to be a great place to stay. I cant wait for fall break! Just have a lil work to get down before than...My paper i have to write is for my MG Global Business class and its on the changes in the policing of Hong Kong under chinese sovereignty...only the outline is due before break but i pretty much want to have the paper written in the outline. it makes putting the whole paper together so much easier and shes going to give us feedback on it so i want to make it good.  After class today i went to go to the ferragamo shoe museum which ive been dying to see, but turns out its closed on tuesdays, who knew? haha it didnt say on the website but on the hours sign on the museum it did so that was kind of a bummer, but Ill try going again tomorrow after class. I just wanted to go today bc i only had one class so i wasnt tired and was ready to see it, tomorrow i have my superrrrr long art class all day which is fun but exhausting and than i have italian and thannn ill go to the museum but owell. im going to bed early tonight i think i can handle it hahah i also want to go to the acadamia museum this week so hopefully ill get there its not far from my hosue its just super touristy so always crowds and long lines which are annoying sometimes. Friday i am doing a wine tasting thing just outside of florence and than saturday i leave with the school trip for Arezzo, Cortona, Pienza, and Montepulciano. i think were just going to be eating lots of amazing food and meeting some chefs who will give us cooking tips and things like that so thatll be AWESOME ahahah and were going on 3 walking tours of different cities so should be really cool and a nice lil workout. were also staying in a hotel thats supposed to be really nice so we are just going to be taken well care of this weekend haha anyways i should do some work before dinner, but ill post again soon! :)
