After a late night at the opera Monday morning started off great with painting class. I learned how to make my very own paint using egg yolk and pigments. Can be a very messy process. The colors seem to be richer. :)
My teacher is so great. He was born and raised in Holland and has lived in Italy for quite some time. Interesting story: I asked him about the health care here. He said that is used to be free before the bad economy. Now you buy health insurance according to your income. For example: His daughter hurt her ankle playing basketball and now has to go to PT. He bought a card for 37 Euros (about $48) and that gets his daughter 11 physical therapy appointments. WHOOOOOOAH! In the US $48 wouldn’t even pay to say hello to the doctor.
For my lunch break I walked home and made myself a salad, much needed after all this pasta, bread and gelato. My afternoon was filled with Fashion Marketing and Basic Spoken. I finally did get a little internet at school and found out that we might get internet on Tuesday YAYYY! This evening I went to dinner and had one of the best pastas so far. (I keep saying that) Four cheese penne YUM!
