I'll try to put up a real post with pictures this weekend, but I have been so incredibly swamped lately that I haven't even had time to THINK about a blog entry. I knew that these four weeks of class would be a lot of work, but I'm not sure anyone in our class expected it to be quite so much work. Most days I've been leaving the library around midnight or one, after being there since class ended around three. Once I can get through next Monday, I'm hoping things will ease up, as I will have given both my presentations by then (one on San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, and one on the Flavor Chemistry of Wine) and my 12 page paper draft on Wine Flavor Chemistry will also be turned in. I really hope that this is the majority of the work for the semester like they seem to think it will be because at this point I'm dying to get to Italy just so I can catch my breath.
The past two weekends probably didn't help my work load because I had all day recruitment rounds for my sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma. Luckily, Bid Day was on Sunday, so we have a new pledge class (exciting!) and I am officially on associate status for this term so I can focus on classwork and the trip now.
Every Wednesday night we have an Italian meal together-- this week I'm in the cooking group and we are making caprese salad, baked ziti, focaccia, asparagus zucchini crudi, and struffoli. I'll do my best to take pictures as we make it and post those in my next entry.
16 Days til I leave for Italy!!!!!!!
