This is insane! We don't have class tomorrow either! Three snow days in a row! I've never been anywhere that has three snow days in a row, much less this many snow days for a couple inches of snow. In Vermont or Ithaca, school wouldn't even be cancelled for a couple feet of snow.
Today, I started to figure out plans for spring break. Man, is it stressful to plan that. Flights, hostels, getting to airports. I can't wait until we have booked our flights and hostels. I think what we have decided to do is go to Barcelona first, then to Amsterdam, Prague and finish up in Milan for a day. Hopefully everything will all work out and we are hoping to have it booked by tomorrow. The one tricky part is figuring out how to get to Rome for our flight to Barcelona. There are so many places I want to go for weekend trips and not enough weekends to do them in. Oh the hardships of studying abroad in Europe. :) I think for weekends, though, I'm going to try to go around a lot of places in Italy and explore those and leave the trips outside Italy for spring break and another break we have that is five or six days I think.
I went to this great little caffe called "meetlife" today with some friends. They have some pretty good cappuccinos there and I think it will be a place I venture off to often to either do some homework or just hang out. The drink I had today was a cappuccino alla nocciola which is one with hazelnut. So basically, the guy puts some nutella in the cup, then adds espresso and some steamed milk. SO GOOD! I could drink it every day! I might have to learn how to make one so that I can make them when I'm back in the states... Anyways, it's been a pretty lax day, which has been nice. On Monday, classes start and I hope I like all of the ones I've registered for :) I will be taking Intermediate Italian, Presence of the Past (a required course), The Black Death and the aftermath, and Renaissance Art: Comparing Florence and Siena. And from here on out, I will have three day weekends! Yay! What a life I get to live! I don't think it gets any better than this :)
