Last Week!

I can't believe that this is our last week! Yesterday we did more preparing for our photo shoot. Our concept that we chose is "You Are What You Drink". We are comparing the way that Italians drink, to how Americans drink, also what you drink and where you drink and how that describes you. Sounds confusing but once you see our spreads, hopefully you will get it! Today everyone else was shooting (we decided to wait till Tomorrow because we know how hectic and unorganized everything is, and the teachers love us and want to concentrate on ours more :)). We did our video interviews and worked on our movie presentation for Friday. Alissia (one of our teachers) is our Italian muse, SO chic. So we are making her model for our shoot. In one of our shots for the American we plan to have her "popping champagne" so we are brining multiple bottles to drink with our teachers so we can have fun too! (yes, this is acceptable, and they love us). We stayed after school late because we love our teachers so much. Basically, we are obsessed with them. So incredibly funny and they know SO much! Tomorrow we shoot in the studio (no one else is getting to do this haha) We have to get to the studio around 9 to tell hair and make up what we want, and hopefully start our first shoot. Our second doesn't start until. Thursday we will be editing and Friday presenting! I'll be sure and upload a "rough" draft of the shoot.

We all made an Italy Bucket List, so of course this week we are scrambling around to complete EVERYTHING on the list. Unfortunately, because we stayed later after school 2 weeks ago, we missed our chance to see the Last Supper. I could cry. Yesterday we checked off a couple of things. Because of the construction, we woke up at 8:00 so we were up and ready to go early, we stopped at a cafe on the way to school and got a nutella croissant and fresh squeeze orange juice. YUMMY! We walked/jogged around Colonne (a park). AND, we started packing! Mom you should be so proud. Today, we stopped at a bakery and tried to get a conollie (apparently thats only a Southern Italy thing) instead we bought muffins. We would be getting more things checked off the list but it started pouring, so we will have to delay it another day. I can't believe I come home Saturday! So bittersweet.

This is in the Colonne area.
