so i lied. i didnt update yesterday. my b. i didnt bring massimo because i had theology in the morning and i didnt want to walk around with him. plus during the break i had to study for my italian midterm so i didnt really think it was necessary to cart mass here and back for that.
anywhoot, so yesterday morning for theology we went to the catacombs of san sebastian. it was sooooo cooool! they took us down under the ground in this barely lit cave looking thing. it was really cold and kind of creepy, but way cool to see all of the graves and inscriptions in the rock. there was a graffiti wall to peter and paul where people would carve in the wall prayers to the apostles during a time of crisis. i couldnt read what any of them said because they were in latin, obvi, but i recognized the names of peter and paul which was really cool to see. the church built over the catacombs had the body of st sebastian there and also the head of pope fabian, which is a little gross but whatever. apparently it was mad popular to decapitate the popes back in the day as a sign of respect. weird italians man.
i had my italian midterm yesterday afternoon and it wasn't too bad. i definitely think that it was challenging for the people in my class based on the level theyre at, but it was fine for me. i'm moving up to the next class on monday so hopefully we'll move a bit faster than this class. i mean, my teacher nadia is nice, but i mean come on now. how long can i possibly do the past tense? give me a break. but according to j9 we're basically learning the same thing but her class moves a bit faster and the people in the class have all taken italian before. so maybe i won't become as fluent as i want to be in italian, but hey at least i'll get an A in the class. guess that works.
this morning i woke up early to do some work because i didnt have class. i finally did my laundry (i know. its gross bc ive been here 2 weeks and didnt do it. whoops.) but boy was that an interesting affair. first off we're only allowed one load a week, which totally isnt happening. im def going to ask to pay for another because there's no way i can only do one a week. andd the washer machine is sooo tiny! i basically stuffed all my clothes in there.
okay i gotta head to italian class now. woohoo. learning the imperfetto. again. partayy.
butttttttttttt i'm going to amalfi tomorowwwww! yayyyyy!! and then capri on sundayyy!!
alright i'm outtie. i'll be back for an update after the weekend. ciao!!
