Friday was Ronan's (Matt's son) birthday party and it was pirate themed and it was awesome. I woke up early in the morning to finish my paper and by 10am I was free from all homework. I helped Matt's wife, Shirona, with birthday preparations and the party started at 4:30. It was a most joyous occasion. Carissa painted tattoos on everybody, Shirona made the coolest cake ever and it was fun all around. The party, though technically for a 4 year old's birthday, was also a celebration of the end of our renaissance studies class. After dinner a few of us went out for a celebratory glass of wine (of which i did not partake). it's seems like a sin to be in italy and not enjoy wine..but i don't. a nice cone of gelato however...i'm all over that.
Julia Kasdorf arrived today with her 7 year old daughter. She will be teaching the next class, poetry and ekphrasis. I haven't actually met her yet, so I have no idea what she's like. her class starts on monday, so we'll see then.
Anyone else have to look up the definition of ekphrasis?
