FIRST DAY OF CLASSES
Today was quite an experience- Forces that Shape Cities with Marcello Frantoni was a very interesting class. Frantoni is the director of the program, and a very good professor. He’s very fluent in English (unlike some of our professors) and he grew up in Italy. The amount of information he knows is unbelievable and it seems like he reads all the time- he’s always quoting authors and historians. The class is about social change and how culture influences architecture and design. I’m looking forward to it (even though it’s on a Monday). Today we booked Spring Break.. we ARE going to London from March 27th to March 31st and then to Barcelona from the 31st to April 4th. That means I will be in Spain on Easter. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, but its definitely something to look forward to. I am beginning to get used to living here… which is kind of a relief, and definitely something I have to get used to. Homesickness hasn’t occurred quite yet.
