ciao amici!

I'm just writing to say the first week of classes went well. I can't wait to get really going...right now we are primarily focused on preliminary designs. Went to Orvieto yesterday which is an amazing little town that you have to take a funiculare (cable car) to get up to it. Just wanted to add that last night I found out my grandma passed away. She was an indescribable woman and will of course be missed. It was a rough night last night but i'm doing better today. It is really strange to not be grieving with my fam and friends but everyone here has been really sweet and offered many hugs. Mae Wright. She was superb :)
