This has been an interesting week. I broke my camera dropping it in the Uffizi sculpture Gallery. If ever there was a place for a camera to die it is the Uffizi. But that means I'm up the creek without a paddle. Don't know quite what to do about it yet. Anyway, that also means I have no pics this week. If the camera was working you would see pictures of our in class work and the Piscina Nannini pool. Went there to swim in the mornig, it was a chaotic hodgepodge but nonetheless was awesome. THe game was sweet. The teams here a tre really good and there was an awesome game that came down to a last second score. Met some nice moms too. I'm telling you this because I associated the pool with home. As for the assignement I'm having difficulty because I dont have a place really for home and the assignment requires such. Lived in an adorable house in keene new hampshire until I was 8 lived in Ohio until this past summer. Most of my history's in Ohio but when I was little I resisted the idea of it being home because I had the snobbish attitude that I had something more to say with new hampshire. anyway...I would have said home in OH but it doesnt sit well and besides my family just moved back to new hampshire, and I dont really have home without picturing my parents. Can't say that place is home either because its a three room apartment and I've only slept there three nights, spent most of break at my friend kelleys house instead of sleeping on the pantry floor (alas! how dramatic...) Then I tried to imagine Kelley's place as home but you cant really force the notion of home on something. Neither is home entirely with my family because when we're all together its hell. So I partially settled on the pool as home. Somewhere where I've had the gambit of emotions but always been comfortable. But that doesnt help either because it doesnt particularly matter which pool it is...i just need A pool. so I'm back at square one with not much to say and a notebook with musings but nothing substantial. On the plus side I ate a really good pastry. and tonight I get pot roast.
Hope alls well
