back in the saddle

smith really wastes no time throwing us right back into academic inferno.....


by 5pm yesterday afternoon, i was back in my apartment with the host fam. at 9:30am today i was in literature listening to presentations. and then in fashion studies.... and then 3 hours later, in stylistics. tomorrow i will find myself in literature yet again, followed by art history.


in the final 2 weeks of this semester i have to write two 8-10 page papers, and two 4-5 page papers. i then have two written exams, a presentation, and two oral exams..... plus a meeting with giovanna to discuss the class i audited at the university of florence..... 


but then!


i get a week in sicily. relaxing. and resting. in hopefully decent weather. so i guess i shouldn't complain too much. plus second semester is really exciting to me (and honestly, it will be much easier and less stressful....)


therefore i am sucking it up, hopping on the horse, and gearing up for this final stretch! 


in bocca al lupo! 


p.s. i promise more exciting posts as soon as something more exciting occurs!
