brief hello!

I have a lot to catch up on, but it's going to have to wait! This week I take my entrance exam for the Accademia di Belle Arti. It is 4 days long, 6 hours a day...each day a different task (still life painting, nude figure drawing, project/public space design, and an immaginative painting)

Tonight we went to a free Gregorian chant concert at Santa Croce. It was so incredebly beautiful...and afterwards we tried a new gelato place--Gelateria dei Neri (I had ricotta and fig and caramella)

I have a lot of pictures to post from this last week..but wish me luck on the exam! ("in bocca al lupo" in Italian)
