Hi All, Today we got to revise our project several times becasue of our reveiw.  We were not quite ready and we were first.  So we had our review and needless to day SETH is also good at cutting people off when they are speaking.  We had an Italain lady and Pepo review us along with Aimee and Betreace.  I could tell she could sympathize becasue we just looked at each other and laughed every time he did it.  Then she explained in Italiand to Pepo what was going and he had a chuckle because he is the one that always cuts her off.  Kathline hardly had two words to say during the review,  prior to this she started to build a model which wasn't done.  But she continued to do so through the reveiw.  Which ... read more

Hi All, Well  I would like to say this day is diffrent from those other days that I have had studio but it is not.   EVERYONE is complaining about having to work on studio everyday.  Back home it is diffrent we only meet three days a week for studio, MWF.  So we have some time to think and ussually put if off till the last minute on the night before.  But having to have work everyday seems to be making some people grumpy, myself included.  Groups are at each others throat,  the one I am in was doing fine but we run into issues on Monday (5th this is fun day).    But we are in a secluded room and have privacy. So we are modifing the project yet again and we were instructed to return to ... read more

Hi All, Today started as usual with studio, I think they require us to be at studio all the time because it is their way of babysitting us without saying it.  So after we did that we had a very interesting walking tour today.  We leared all about A.P. and the historical significance.  It seems we are not the only school that travels here to do studies with the Italain school.  They have another group from California comming in after we leave.  More people will be participating in that program.  I am not sure if they are fluent in Italain but there are posters up eveywhere.  So back to the tour,  the fourth year students got us in a little bit of trouble, they were laughing and playing during the tour.   It seems there were taking ... read more

Hi All, Well I tried to sleep of a migrane and took medicine and ended up being out of commission all day.  I slept and rested.  So I have nothing to say today except the insides of hotel rooms look the same all over. Talk to later,... read more

Hi All, Today we met with some of the Italain students.  They speak little to no English.  So we will all bought Italain to English dictionaries.  We have found that we are comic relif to the locals.  When we ask or point to something they say something we do not understand to the nearest Italian and they all laugh.  But I do not feel so bad becasue several universities use this town as a home base to work with university.  We are not the only ones being made fun of. Well we found how we would have to walk to school.  We have a 40 minute walk to the stairs from hell.  They did not look so bad a first then we realized they would never end.  After we got to the top of one flight ... read more
