We have successfully completed our first week of classes. Nothing too hard or demanding yet. This pic below is from our Made in Italy class that only us KEI girls have. We are learning about products and brands from Italy and what it means to buy Italian.  Even though all of our classes are 3+ hours a piece, I can't complain about anything. I mean, how many people get to sit and learn about Gucci all day? I won't know how to handle myself whenever I go back to Kentucky and have to take basic business classes again.

Tuesday before the girls had class, we met up with our adorable new German friend, Caroline. She took us past the Duomo to Colonne di San Lorenzo which is just another beautiful area in the center of Milan. Caroline just came here for this semester, but she lived here some last year so she is a lot more familiar with the city. Its pretty great having someone that can show us new places.

Just down the street from the Duomo is my new addiction, Amsterdam Chips. Anyone that knows me knows that my all-time-favorite food is french fries and this is literally a restaurant that only sells french fries. YES PLEASE. It will be so hard for me to go shopping at the Duomo now and NOT go here. 

The weather here has been so much nicer this week than last. I'm praying that we don't have a relapse and go back into the nasty winter weather. I emailed one of my favorite MAT professors yesterday and she said all that I am missing in Kentucky is cold weather. Haha, I can definitely say that I am NOT missing that. Even though this city is beautiful in any weather, it is just so much more beautiful when the sun is out. I am dying for Spring.
