The Monday (aka Valentine's Day) I got back from Interlaken I should have been exhausted because I slept for about 5 hours, but the miracle of adrenaline kicked in and I had a great day. Class was not so exciting, although my globalization teacher called me a conformist for recycling and I preceded to give him a death stare. On my way to lunch I saw some flowers sitting on the desk for people, but I assumed they were for other people because my dad had adamantly told me I wasn't getting flowers this year. But, Joanna came up to me and told me there were flowers sitting on the desk for me and I was like "that's impossible!", but my dad made my day and surprised me with flowers. Thanks for the roses, daddy! For lunch that day, my friends Beth and Joanna and I went to the Boboli gardens for lunch! These gardens are HUGE and even though it is even springtime, beautiful already. It was so fun to just roam around see the beautiful views. I can't wait to go back when it gets nicer out. Bonus: it was free because of our awesome museum card! For dinner that night, Miriam and I went to her friend Jill's apartment for a cute Valentine's day dinner. Dinner was really fun, although everyone was Southern and I have never heard "y'all" used so many times in my life. it was quite overwhelming. After, Miriam and I hung out with Jill for a while and then met Jordan, Negrin, and Doug at Kikuya.
On Tuesday morning I had class at the beautiful Palazzo Medici (Medici Palace). It is now the home of the governor of Tuscany, but he's moving out soon. Class got out early, yay!, so I got lunch with friends and then did some much needed apartment cleaning. That night we went to a wine tasting, yummy! It was cool to learn how wine is made and about its different qualities. We met some of my camp friends for aperitivo and then went to Be Bop for Beatles night! I ran into my friend Julia, who went to high school with me and my friend Mara who was in USY with me! This guy cane up to us on the street, who we immediately thought was creepy, but turned out he wasn't at all, and he explained what this secret bar thing down the street from our apartment was. So he was not creepy and helpful...winner. Great night!
Wednesday I had my first meeting for San Lorenzo tour guiding, which was cool, it's a beautiful church. I also found a mozzarella bar and a cute vintage shop that I definitely need to further explore. After class, I was exhausted...I did not want to move ever again. Miriam and I just went to dinner out our favorite restaurant around the corner from our apartment. It's this little whole in the whole and we made friends with the waiter, Maritizio. It's absolutely delicious food. After dinner, I did nothing. It was great.
Thursday, nothing exciting. Just made dinner for Miriam and I and then off to Austria!!!! YAY SOUND OF MUSIC!!
