Today was a very long day. It was my first day of full classes. I had Italian first at 8:30 in the main lecture hall. Then directly after I had sketching and drawing, which consists of 3 professors- 2 men and a woman. I have the woman professor (who seems to know English the best). We went over expectations and materials, etc. Directly after I had Italian Art with Rocky Ruggiero. He is probably the sweetest dude ever and he can speak English very well (he grew up in Boston). He is very intelligent- he specializes in Architecture History. Our last class, studio, was in the lecture room as well. My professor, Mr. Francini, looks just like Jack Black. No lie. Haha! He is not very good at speaking English, but he is a well-known Architect in Europe (and I have him for a professor!) who I am looking forward to having. He dresses like a rock star- tight black pants, tight dress shirts, and a shiny black coat. He has long, thin hair and he looks to be about 40.
Studio seems to be a pretty interesting class this semester. We are designing a contemporary mediatheque (I think it’s called) located in a medieval fort famous in Florence (no lie!). The project sounds very irrational- but the professors seem very convinced. We’ll see how it turns out when we progress further with it.
Tonight we went back to see the Beatles at the Bebop. They were great, once again, but the place was packed this time. I could barely get inside. I missed half of their set and I didn’t stay long. But, all in all, it was a good, productive day. Im glad I like all my professors and classes this semester!
