Classes have started for the week, and it's a big adjustment from doing nothing on the weekends to having to go to class and try to learn Italian. I just bought a train ticket from here to Venice for this weekend, so I will have something to do this weekend.

This past weekend I went to St. Peter's, the church just outside of town. It was pretty cool, very old and everything, but more than anything it was just something to do. Later on Sunday some of us went to the school to use the wireless signal outside (because the building is closed on Saturdays and Sundays), and it started POURING! Not just pouring, either, it started thundering and hailing, so we tried to dash back to our apartment. But running when little balls of ice are hitting you in the face isn't so fun, so it was quite an adventure. By the time we got to our apartment it stopped raining. Of course.

In our painting class we did our first painting. It was a still life of two vases/jars, and it was a lot of fun. I'm really happy with the way all of ours turned out.

Today was my sketchbook class, so we went to Museo di Tuscania (Museum of Tuscania) and did some sketches of trees and architecture. That was a lot of fun as well.

I'm working on trying to get a photo of the angry Italian woman who lives across the street from our apartment. Every day she comes outside and just yells very angrily, and it is one of the most hilarious things ever. Even when she goes inside we can still hear her yelling. Our friend Rich refers to her as the crazy woman, and I agree.

Oh, and on Thursday we took a trip to Lake Bolsena and got to swim the in a volcanic lake (the largest of its kind in Europe). It was amazing, the water was so warm and clear.

That's all for now, I'm really terrible at trying to remember everything, and I am really hungry right now.
