So! I finally just figured out my camera issues. And by figured out I mean I tried everything I knew to do, gave up and then borrowed my roommates card reader since mine apparently is possessed.
AKA good news, I am currently in the process of uploading photos from Rome to Facebook. I don't have many from Florence yet since I hadn't been able to upload the Rome ones and didn't want to lose Florence pics either...but I'll start documenting! For now, maybe I will steal some from my roommates (which I promise to update on later...I'll do a whole first impressions etc etc post...clearly I am going out of order here)
Art World.
SACI is an art school. Duh. But still overwhelming, such a different culture than I am used to back at AU. I feel like AU everyone is so motivated, looking into the future, la la la. Here it is a much more creative vibe and things are more do what you find appropriate or interesting. Not that that isn't the same as AU, the follow your own course deal, but it is just different.
I am taking Book Arts, Illustration, Digital Multimedia, Literature and Visual Arts and Italian. So far I really like all of them.
My first assignment for Digital Multimedia is to walk to what I deem "the end of the city" and sit down and reflect about the experience. So this could be the actual end of the city boundaries or where the center of Florence (much more touristy) meets the actual Florentines (where true Italians live). I'm excited to wander the streets some more and do this!
Italian moves really fast. My professor is all about moving forward and cramming as much information into our heads. It's definitely helpful though because while pretty much everyone in the city center speaks some English, they are much more willing to help if you know some Italian as well. It is kind of funny actually because one of my roommates is fluent in Spanish and sometimes will just speak to them in Spanish because the understanding goes both ways (mostly) but it's just hard to speak in either when you know the other.
Okay so this is kind of a rambling message but I just wanted to rant about my camera, but I figured that out. So decided to ramble about other things!
