Siena! As in, Italy. :)
That's right. Beautiful Siena awaits me for
a seven week study abroad. The first three weeks I will take an advanced Italian Language class, and travel around to villages, cities, and anywhere else I pretty much feel like going.]
Siena is only an hour away from both Florence and Pisa. And two hours north of Rome. So I'll probably be hitting up Florence a lot at first.
But my school classes only last the first three weeks. The second half I get to choose whatever the hay I want to do for an internship and I've pretty much decided on culinary.
That's right, I will be working as an intern in an Italian kitchen where I hope to be learning the many magical secrets to an amazing Italian dish.
My Italian teacher from last year is from Genova and she made what was pretty much just a ragu on noodles with lots of cheese, and I am SO not kidding when I declare it to be the most delectable thing I have ever to have passed over my tongue. It was... it was beautiful. I nearly weep at the memory.
So I hope that to be part of my future. I want to be the lady whom everyone wants to invite to their dinner parties in the hopes that I might grace everyone with one of my renowned Italian dishes. It's a beautiful future!
... Just realized that this means I'm probably going to be really fat if this is my future.
aaaaah! i'm so excited for you! You are going to have an absolute blast!!!! ugh can you stuff me in a giant suitcase and take me with you?
ReplyDeletewhat? holy cow! i can't believe you are doing this! i'm so excited for you. but you know, you'll have to be really good at blogging. also, how come when you blog it doesn't show up until, like, a month later, and it doesn't show up in order either. i don't know if that makes any sense but it's very frustrating.
ReplyDeleteThis was a post that I began, then didn't post until I had officially been accepted into the program and then paid my first deposit. Thus it showing up in a strange order.
ReplyDeleteMy apologies.
