Chianti and floence

Hey guys
Sorry I have been really busy lately and I have kinda been slacking on my posts. Well after the fire my roommates and I have been super carful about plugging things in and using the correct converter. So no more fires lol.
My classes are really fun I think I’m going to really enjoy all of them. the professors really seem to know what they are talking about and are excited about what they are teaching. So on Mondays I don’t start class till 5:15 pm. So I have all day Monday to do my home work and catch up on some much needed sleep. My Monday class is Global Consulting Management and it is really interesting my professor made us all go around the room and ask one interesting and probing question. Then from there he had us read some case studies about different businesses and solve the problem that they were having. Then on Tuesday I have Italian class and it is great. We learned Italian hand signals which I will show you all later. Then I have my principles of marketing class were we took the brand Harley Davidson and talked about what their marketing techniques are and why they are so effective. Wednesdays I have archeology which is AMAZING. Our first day we did a short walking tour around are school and I found a place where you can over look all of Rome. From there you are able to see the whole in the pantheon and the coliseum it is gorgeous. Then I have my consulting class after I get done there I head back to my flat and do some home work then my roommates and I make dinner. Then we hang out and talk for a while and then go to our bed rooms and usually skype you guys. Thursdays I have Italian and marketing class so it’s the same kind of day as Tuesdays. Except after class is done we go home eat and start getting ready to go out because we don’t have classes Friday here.
First trip out of Rome
Hey guys so I’m in Chianti, Italy right now and it is so amazing and beautiful… nothing like Rome. MY roommate Signe and I are staying here in this cute house with her parents for the night and then we are going to go to Florence. So while I was in Chianti we went to their wine tasting festival that happens once a year for three days. I definitely found that I am a red wine person and I had a lot of fun pretending like I knew what I was talking about. Then we went out to dinner and had one of the best meals of my entire life. Belisimo. Then after dinner we went to the house we are staying at and went to bed. So I’m headed for Florence in the morning and ill tell you all about it tomorrow night. Love you all and miss you
