Recent Classes and Travel Plans

A normal week has gone by since Genoa without many interesting things happening. My most useful class is Layout and Visualization Design, where we are learning to take a scenario and draw it from angles to make interesting composition. It seems most useful since I am an illustrator and he is essentially teaching us to step away from how my brain WANTS to draw a situation and instead draw it how it will look most interesting. I will post some of these compositions on a slow day. Italian  101 proves to be easy enough, as we go over telling time and food items. In Italian Design History we were promised that we will go on a field trip every class for the second half. We went out to a designer store and looked at various interior decorations. This is my favorite teacher, as he seems the friendliest. He is the professor in my Verona video, if you want to see him. He also has the best accent out of my professors.
Packaging still continues to be hopelessly boring, with our teacher reading off a paper in monotone. He clearly doesn't want to teach an English class at all, and it's unfortunate for us. Oh, if I haven't posted my schedule before, here it is. Remember that I am 6 hours ahead of the east coast.

That will come in handy when I talk about my travel plans. This weekend, Friday to Sunday, I will be going to Trento in the Italian Alps to ski! This is a college-organized trip, so luckily I didn't have to do planning. I just need some heavier clothes and I'll be good. Then, soon after on Tuesday, I will be going to Venice for the day! We chose a time so close to another trip because there is currently the carnivale in Venice, a popular event in which I assume there will be much more to do. I imagine everyone in masquerade masks walking around eating cotton candy. We'll see. I think that the carnivale will either be a really good experience, or a really bad one; a sentiment that was reaffirmed by my Italian Design professor. Keep your fingers crossed that I will be having a good time.
So, expect an update about the alps on Monday and hopefully another update on Wednesday. It's a busy week coming up! Next weekend will be nice and relaxing.
Thanks for reading!
