Whew!
So I got my grades completely transferred to UMW. That is nice to have completed. I got an A- in Painting, and an A in Art Conservation. Im pretty excited about that.
Today at work, was great as usual! I am learning so much Italian, but still not understanding a lot of things. Today was super labor intensive. We finished making Pasta Fiorentina for the new canvas. It is huge! And then prepared it, and stretch it, and vaccum sucked it, and everything. It was great getting to be so active. I really love the Italian life style. I am embracing it more and more. I love eating late, and eating pasta and drinking coffee. I had a prior goal before I came not to get addicted to coffee. But I think I left that in the dust. I usally average about 3 espresso’s a day if not more. Sometimes less. But I love it. I think thats the important part. I know that I could make it through the day without coffee, but I would rather not.

I couldn;t agree with you more, the Italian lifestyle is without question magical. The way the interact around their food, which is an extension of their culture in every way, is nothing short of amazing. Everytime I go with Antonella, I just want to stay. The pace, the cool people, and the appreciation of so many of the finer details of life that we often forget are magnified there. If the job market wasn’t so bad, and the general feeling of immobility so common, I think we would make a go of it. You never know I guess. But posts like these remind me of all the reasons I would like to be there.
As a consolation, quitting coffee should be easy on your return, just think about how much worse it will taste, and how much more of it you will have to drink
