I'm not in New York anymore

  There are many things that make Italy very different from New York.  One of them is time.  Being on time in our society is very important, as is ending something when it is suppose to.  Here are teachers do not seem to own watches.  They come at least 10 minutes late and then keep us over class time.  It is very annoying, especially like when today I only have a 30 minute break for lunch and our teacher kept us over.  They have us for three hours, why do they need any extra time?
  Ok so enough of my complaining.  On Monday I went to the Ferragamo store museum for one of my classes.  It was really cool to see all of the shoes from over the years and they even had the original wooden shoe models from back in the day when Ferragamo would make custom made shoes for people like Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe.  
  I have a test in Italian tomorrow that I've been studying for all night.  So hopefully that will go well.  
  My friends and I didn't end up going to the beach last weekend so I think we are going to go on Saturday.  It is still quite warm here so it should be really fun.   
  Alright, time for some more studying and then bed.  Goodnight
