today i had my very first class at L'Università di Bologna! :D
it was a class on the contemporary history of europe, specifically focusing on the events of WWII and their after-effects. i thought i had a pretty good idea of what happened during WWII, but in fact i am WOEFULLY ignorant. all the stuff i've learned has been from an american point of view, obviously, and now i'm studying from the perspective of a country that was living under mussolini at the time. since this is an upper level course, the teacher assumes everyone has a rough knowledge of all the battles and such that occured in italy so he just mumbles over them and moves on, so i might need to do a little research outside of class.
tomorrow i start my european cultural anthropology course, and my italian theater course doesn't start until feb. 23 (or something around there). tomorrow field trip, thursday studying, friday exam for my orientation course! saturday...profit? hopefully travelling!
having difficulty at the moment looking up train schedules to merano, but i found out that tickets to ferrara are only €3.
gilberto casually informed me that the apples i've been eating are from the alps. i think that is crazy awesome.
