Alright, I have started my second semester of grad school rather painlessly. Actually, it's been pretty awesome because this entire first week my classes have been in English!!! AH! Brilliant! Why you ask? Well, it's because we have 3 students visiting from Georgia (not the state, the country) and they don't speak Italian. So, default international language: English! Win! hahah.
It's already been extremely interesting. We're working on a 15th century fresco in Locarno a town about an hour from Lugano. We're removing "white wash" layers that were painted over the fresco, so that involves in some cases taking a hammer to the fresco! Yes..I panicked at first too. I don't know...I've just got a good feeling about this semester. I know I'm going to do better and learn more, and I suppose that is what's important. I can't believe it's almost March though! How crazy is that?? This year is going to be over before I know it, and so is this program.
I really don't understand how time goes so fast. The weeks of vacation were done and over in a blink. My visit to Ireland in total was 8 days long. I feel like I was there for 3. It was so much fun though. Not a big sight-seeing trip this time around, but a legitimate vacation. We went to a famous pub in Dublin where they filmed P.S. I love you to see an amazing musician named Robert Delaney. And I also went to a winter ale beer festival at this really cool pub in Cork called the Franciscan Well. So I guess you could say a lot of my sightseeing involved the inside of a pub. Don't judge, it's part of the Irish culture...I mean where else can you get the atmosphere of a large group of people, watching a national rugby match?? You can't. It is solely reserved for the Irish pub, and I did that this time around too. I actually really like rugby! I plan on watching more too.
As for other things going on, not much else but school and my YouTube channel. I'm still plugging away at it with 4 videos now. I'm hoping in the very near future I can get some original stuff going too (Ah!). I really really love it, and the response has been so positive! I'm blown away really! Maybe you may think I'm crazy, but I don't care. I think this is going to go somewhere...to a place that I've dreamt of since I was a little girl. It may be silly to think it, but then don't dreams always start as silly ideas? I've kind of always pictured my name in lights. Who knows, maybe this time around we can make it happen. :) Either way if you read this, watch, share and subscribe! www.youtube.com/sarahbraun03
Until next time, love to you from Switzerland <3
