La mia parola preferito - FIGISSIMO

Figissimo - AWESOME. (one in the same)

To those of you waiting by your computers each day for an update of this blog, I apologize. Italy is a little too exciting to sit and update. And... most of you reading this blog I have talked to somewhat recently enough to have filled in some of the stories.

Anywho - Italy is STILL amazing. I am loving it STILL.

Some recent events:
Excursion to Ravenna.. aka

• Saw some of the most beautiful mosaics I have ever encountered. Mausoleums, churches and baptismal building.. breathtaking. 
• The entire BCSP group led by Andrea Ricci, Clara (my teacher) and Giancarlo Benevolo (how awesome is that name. Really Mom and Dad... Julia.. Not even Giulia. PSHH.) 
• A delicious 4 course meal with 24 people.. DELICIOUS. Not to mention the amazing conversation with Clara. We discussed good looking men. Yes - with my professor. Some of the men included George Clooney, Hugh Grant, Giancarlo and Andrea. 

DUCATI FACTORY AND MUSEUM.. aka

• BEST DAY OF MY LIFFFFFE. The factory was the coolest thing ever. We were led by an awkward Italian man through the factory as he explained each part of the bike and how they come together. Also, about 100-220 Ducati motorcycles are made each day. This seems like a small number, but it is only because each bike is pre-sold. Ah. One to me.. right. Christmas? Yes.
• Not only were there BEAUTIFUL Ducatis everywhere, but it must have been a prerequisite to be an extremely good looking italian man to obtain employment.. other than the tour guide - he had a connection.

Ducati Museum

More exciting things happened since the last blog.. meh..

Ohh by the way here are some photos of my place.. Kinda hard to tell - but Im on the second level of the buliding.

Via del Guasto 3 

My desk area.. little dirty.. ooops.

My bed. Thanks Ikea.

My closet. The dresser is to the right..

I just finished up some homework. Tomorrow is a presentation in class about Immigration/Emigration. This weekend we are headed to the Medieval Museum in Bologna to check out some of the things we went over earlier this week. I am STOKED. 

Other news: I Love Italy. Period. Yes, there are moments when I want to be home, (i.e. -when I crave an authentic hamburger) but for the most part.. I may never come back to the United States. Sorry to break it  to you over Blog.. Love you. 

Haha sto scherzando (Im joking) - but really. I am so happy that I decided to dive in. Thanks to everyone who encouraged me.

Yummmmy.
