day 35 // florence
I don't remember the last time I sketched for fun but I forgot how much I love it. It was one of those really serendipitous things that turned out to be really therapeutic. Anyways... Then I went to class. After class I went home and checked off a couple things on my to do list, well tried to anyway, before going to "dinner with Italians". People from my program (who signed up ahead of time) met at a restaurant where we intermixed ourselves at the dinner table with young Italian students. We spent the whole dinner talking with them practicing our Italian while they practiced their english. I was seated right next to a young girl who was super funny and cool. She told us how she watched Vampire Diaries and the Bachelor, told us where to get the best gelato, taught us some Italian slang, told us of her plans to move to Canada with her Italian boyfriend when after she graduates, and more. She is studying languages and currently knows 7 different languages! We were talking so much that we didn't even realize how much food we were eating and how incredibly full we'd gotten, but when dessert came she taught me a very important Italian phrase, perhaps the most important Italian phrase I'll ever learn. "Per il dolce c'è un altro stomaco" which means "for dessert, there's another stomach". Haha! We blew each other kisses as we said goodbye and then I returned home where I watched the Bachelor and went to bed!
