Catching up
After returning from free travel last week, we are enjoying a couple of weeks at the villa. It’s been easy to forget that this semester is more than an extended vacation. Our purpose here in this wonderful place is studying. That realization hit us in the face this week, as we had a comprehensive Italian test, followed by a group presentation for Humanities on Wednesday, and a final for European Studies on Thursday. In addition to exams, there are several homework assignments and projects with looming due dates hanging over our heads. I’m taking a self-paced Biology course online as well, and in keeping with my general lifestyle, I have completed very little of it. We leave on our second free travel on the 17, shortly after a group trip to Rome, so we’ve been planning and preparing for that as well. We are starting to realize just how little time we have left here in Florence.
