Quiet weekend

A lot of people are gone for the weekend because of our free schedule until Monday.  I was planning on going to Rome, but I hit my head last weekend and had a huge bruise on my head.  I had a couple bouts of dizziness and nausea so I went to the doctor and he recommended I get a CT scan.  I got the scan this morning and I will get the results on Monday afternoon.  I feel fine today and the doctor wasn't overly concerned, but I am staying in Florence and taking it easy this weekend because of it.  We had our slideshow presentations this morning for Digital Photography.  I felt really good about my slideshow and I got good critiques, although so did everyone.  I will try to post the video on the blog next week, but it takes a long time so please have some patience for me.  I am about half way through my accordion book project and I also have half of my photos done for the final piece.  On a different note, I have been following the US Open golf tournament online all day today and yesterday because we don't get it on any of the channels in the apartments.  It is one thing that I am really missing out in being down in San Diego for the first time ever.  The last two weeks of the program should be really fun!  Next week we are going to some great museums for Art History and we only have one photo class so we will definitely have some free time to explore the city.  Also, we are going to Pietrasanta and Cinque Terre next weekend with the whole group and then Monday is my 22nd birthday.  So a lot of good days are coming and I'm feeling better for the first time this week.  It is supposed to rain every day until Tuesday in Tuscany, so hopefully the weather are as bad here as they are back home.  Finally, I watched Sofia Copolla's film, Lost In Translation, earlier today and it was really funny and original.  It stars Bill Murray and Scarlet Johansen, and it is about their unique ways to deal with the culture shock of Tokyo.  I don't know if critics particularly liked it, but I really enjoyed it.  Have a great weekend!  A presto.
