This past week classes began and so far I really like all of them. I think it is great that our classes help us to think about being here and what that means on a personal level. I have been learning a lot about what "home" means to me with the current assignment and am finding ways to make Florence feel more like home.
My topics for theme sequence this week were old men in the piazza in Orvieto and smoking in Italy. I found upon exploring these themes that I identified with them so strongly because they remind me of different aspects of my family.
This week culminated in a trip to Budapest, Hungary. This was a great thing for me because I am part Hungarian and had always wanted to visit. I was really pleased with what I found there and am hoping this will help me understand who I am a little better. A presto! Allison
