Going to see David

Paige, Victoria (another girl in our program) and I went and saw the David last night. My professor told me that on Tuesdays after 6 students get in for free- so, of course we wanted to do that. However, after standing in line for 20 minutes (which is actually probably a lot less time than we would have had to wait of we had gone earlier) we get to the ticket window and the lady, very curtly, told me no- only Italian students at public universities could get in for free....so, we had to pay 11 euro each. Oh well, it was worth it. We had to walk through a couple of rooms displaying more modern art and installations (including one that was just a chubby like red headed girl sitting on the grund sketching something very loudly) before we got to him. I had heard that he is way bigger than you expect, but I was still taken aback by just how massive the sculptoure was. He is kind of set back in an alcove that has a Low ceiling than the rest of the room, so I guess that helps give him a larger than life impression. Regardless, it was amazing to see and sooo beautiful. I wish I could go back in time and watch Michaelangelo carve it. Went and got marge-a-ree-tas at a place called tequila mexican restaurant afterwards...nom! I was unoriginal and just got a regular on the rocks, but Paige got a peach one that came with some sort of weird, small orange fruit on the rim. Def not a peach, but cute regardless. Also, her rim at had sugar instead of salt...a little odd. Random observation-the salt in Italy is .ess saltly than everywhere else. Does amyme else agree? So today in class my prof gave us our tests back. Well, that's not true, he gave us our grades....and not like written on a piece of paper or anything. He was just like- Stephanie (the only other person in my class) I gave you an A-, but you deserved a B+. then, to me, Olivia- I gave you a B+, even though it was really a B....can you say awkward! He then proceeded to tell each of us what we did wromg on the test. Why am I not surprised this happened to me. Another note about my prof, he keeps giving us random, very personal details about his life- including his divorce, mid-life crisis relocation to Tahiti and his girl friend. He's at least 63. Enough said. Besides that,not too much happened today. Just got back from a really tasty dinner- chicken catch-a-torry. And tomorrow, pear ravioli....yummmmm! Also, I have a cold. In July. It's miserable. Xo, Olivia
