Typical Day

August 1, 2017

On a typical weekday, I will wake up around 6:30am to go out on a run around Florence, since it’s too hot to do so later on in the day. Afterwards, I go get ready for classes and eat breakfast out in my courtyard with my roommates. I then go off to my palaces of Florence course, which is around 2.5 hours long. I have a break after this class which is around 2 hours long and in this time, I can choose to hang out with some friends, go home and make lunch or run some errands. I have used some of this time to explore Florence, and it’s great since it is right in at the beginning of the afternoon so I have time to see the city. A little after 1pm I arrive at my Italian language course which has been really helpful taking while walking around the city. I finish my day of classes there, and I usually end up back at my apartment where I start working on some homework, relax, and make dinner. In the evening I will generally hang out with some friends or my roommates and we catch up on our day and head to bed.

I'm doing a Traditional Study abroad during summer 2 at the Lorenzo De' Medici school. I'm in the college of science,and graduating in spring 2018. My goals while studying abroad are to experience an extremely different culture from what I am used to, as well as meet a lot of new people from around the world. A fun fact about myself is that I've had 3 pairs of my front two teeth grow naturally. I chose to pursue this program because I want to see what studying is like in other places, and how other communities are in contrast to the one I am from. I really wanted to study abroad so I could experience a new culture in a country I have never visited. I believe my interests of Food, architecture, discovering new spots in cities will appeal to a lot of those around me!
