Busy Little Bumble Bee. Day 14

It has been a crazy couple of days, everything has been flying by so fast, yet it feels like ive been living here for forever. We had school on friday to make up for the monday we lost on the first week here (we had orientation on that day), which has been keeping me really busy. Ive also been trying to figure out the sylibus' of all my classes, and filling out paperwork to drop one and add another. Im dropping human 7 (called into to humanities, which covered all kinds of little italian quirks such as mythology, italian culture, ect) to add art 2.2 (a class that has an emphasis on breaking down and analyzing art, starting in the gothic moving all the way to impressionism). My two other classes, art 5 (basically a conceptual "what is the meaning of art" class) and phil 244 (contemoary moral issues) are both fantastic. The phillosophy class feels a bit...introductory, which would make sense considering most of the people int he class have never taken a philospohy class before. But everything he has covered so far ive mostly known (Metaphors of the Wizard of Ozz, Plato's "the cave", liberalism vs conservatism, ect). Ive been doing virtually nothing but museum hoping and going to diner/bars. Been meeting tons of people, which of course is a good thing, and all of the art is incredible. The David (to be cliche) is probably my favorite next to Lippi's "Moddonna and Child With Two Angles". But there is so much great art here that it is nearly impossible to pick past those two. Today, however, was a great adventure. We as a group went down to Viaraggio for Carnivalle and vilentines day. It was epic. Huge. Unbelievable. There were, i dont know how many, giagantic floats, and since there was no fence/boundaries i could walk infront of and around each float as it moved (pictures coming, alot of them). We spent all day there and then took a train back. School tomorrow, so i am going to cut it short.

Philosophy here i come...
