ITALY 2013: PHYSICS TEST & A LOT OF PHOTOS I JUST FOUND

I GOT MY PHYSICS TEST BACK TODAY. I GOT AN A. There was nothing written on my test. No numbers or points or corrections. Just a big A on the page. A little different than America, but I'll take it.

I love my physics teacher. She always makes sure I understand things before moving on & she's so so sweet and I love her. Ok the rest of this post is going to be all over the place. I apologize in advance.

misshapen but delicious chocolate chip cookies

Today I had an English literature test on Milton, Marlowe, and Donne. It was impossible for me so I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for my classmates.

John Donne being John Donne

My host mom knew how stressed I was about the test so she brought me chocolate while I was studying. I love her.

delicious

Anyway I think the test went ok. Honestly, it's kind of embarrassing if I don't do well on it. Yikes. We'll see.

Me & my apple & Italian Elena

Next week I'm going to her house for lunch to meet her fam. I'm so excited. I never imagined myself having such a close friend so quickly in a foreign place. I can't imagine this experience without her.

I've been making a lot of grilled cheese lately

I'm just a girl who loves grilled cheese

If I had to guess, I think it's because it reminds me of my mom & siblings. I don't know why I just associate grilled cheese with home. Pictures of my room:

hey Jess made this for me

I love Jess

hey these are my clothes

hey this is my bed

I like to sit against the radiator and study here

It is the perfect study corner

Ludovica sleeps up there

The first week she wanted me to sleep up there with her but then I was banished for kicking in my sleep. Classic me.

Twilight in Italian & a reindeer cup of tea

It's something I never thought about before leaving but all food products are different here: water bottles, crackers, cookies, bread, everything is packaged differently by different companies. I don't know. It's just something I never even thought about.

Last week Ludovica and I went to a theater in Fermo. We saw... something. I don't really know what happened honestly because it was all in Italian but it was beautiful. The theater was built in 1790 and seats 1000 people in these little individual thingys. I don't know what you call them which is embarrassing because I should know. The entire show was only 3 actors. Every costume was white. There were no set pieces or transitions. It was very hard to follow. It also made me miss Players.

Ludovica made me take this picture "for the blog"

Then I was going through my phone and found all these pictures I never did anything with....whoops.

Altare della Patria or the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Roman Forum at sunset

Colosseum

Pretty chill

Those are the only pictures I have from Rome and I honestly don't remember much from that trip because it was the day I landed in Italy so I was pretty tired. I'm going back to Rome in a few weeks with Ludovica. I can't wait.
