Stephanie's Italy Adventures ~ Florence, Italy June 2005

I was selected to study in Florence, Italy for the month of June 2005. It was an exciting, dream come true experience where I could soak up the culture where opera was born!

My last week... Arrivederci Italia!

Monday June 27
It was just a day to review for our Italian final and the last days of classes. We did a run through of our scenes for Tuesday. It was the hottest day of our stay here with a high of about 40° C. And since Florence sits in a valley of mountains/hills, there is no wind and the air just sits muggy and miserable. So, after our miserably hot rehearsal, we just sat at home and relaxed. I looked through my Italian workbook and tried to learn what there wasn't time to learn. Sabine said I was her little Italian over-achiever. What can I say? I love speaking in foreign languages and when I start to learn one, I want to REALLY learn it. However, I have noticed that my French is slipping. I can't think of anything in French anymore! Agh!!! Must be multi-lingual! hahah...
