Day 47

The Coliseum at Night




Day 47- Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Today was my first official day working in the print room on the third floor of the school. The print room is located in the studio next to our studio. I spent the first hour of my 2 hour shift working with Simone- he taught me how to work everything and installed the print drivers on my computer. It is going to be a very easy job, and I get 6 euros an hour for it- which is equivalent to $9/hr. and all I have to do is print stuff. That is, if there is stuff that needs to printed. Because is was kinda early in the morning (9AM) and we don’t really have any final work that is due, I didn’t have to print anything. I spent the last hour doing homework and getting ready for class at 11.

In forces that shape cities today, we visited Palazzo Davanzati, which is an early Renaissance palace belonging to a family clan of about 50 people. We learned a lot about domestic life and lifestyles during this time- there were about 4 floors all fully furnished. My favorite room was the kitchen- the instruments they used for cooking was quite interesting. After class I went back to the school, grabbed my stuff and got a calzone at a small shop nearby. I went to SWAN with Bryce and worked out, took a shower there, and worked on homework for a little bit. I went over to Collins later and worked on my sketchbook that was due tomorrow and looked at pictures of Rome with Cassie, Katy, Steve, and Collin.
