this week seemed pretty uneventful.

not in the mood to write out full sentences, hence, my week in bullets:

- RAIN. very much cramped my style.
- tour of san lorenzo and san marco- saw some pretty famous early and high Renaissance art
- class.. lame, lame, lame.
- feeling large, so i went to the gym several nights- it felt amazing
- saw the most breathtaking view of the Duomo ever from Owen's host brother's penthouse apartment
- Universale on Thurs night again--fun but didn't live up to last week
- more rain. wet shoes and pants all week-- i hate that
- ate life-changing gnocchi with pesto made by my host mom
- coffee with my language partner Giulia- some nice, some awkward conversation in italian and english
- realized it wouldnt work for christine and i to see each other this weekend
- worked on plans for travel after my program- spain!
- wrote some epically long emails
- bought a pair of boots today! first italian purchase besides food
- talked on the phone to several wonderful people who are all over the world :)

ok, so maybe it wasnt that uneventful, but it felt like it. maybe the vacation portion of this experience is starting to wear off.
