Today began much the same, with our usual bright-eyed and bushy-tailed selves meeting at the breakfast table to hear Martha's journal and R.C.'s thought of the day. As we walked to our separate schools, we all were predicting that the already hot day could only get hotter! I don't think I've ever sweated before 9:00 before. Our classes went pretty smoothly, with all around good reviews from those who commented on their day. Comparing my own high school class of three to my evening class of nine, I can clearly see the benefits of having a smaller class size. This opinion seems to be shared around the group, what with everyone being a bit reluctant to take on new students (especially in the evening classes).
Our lunch was a tremendous success with rave reviews from everyone. Sometimes a good pizza hitsthe spot! Most of us were swayed by the siren call of a gelateria on the way back from lunch- we were full, but as Shirley put it, "there is always room for gelato." E.K., Currie, and Larae set out on their own Italian adventure that afternoon. Everyone else took a siesta, sat by the pool, or searched for sea glass like professional treasure hunters. Our evening classes went well, with some team members joiningnew classes to help out, and certain unnamed students switching to a different room due to their apparent inability to even lower the volume of their constantly active vocal chords.
Dinner was delicious as usual, with our excellent waiters adding to the experience; it's always a pleasure to meet new people who happen to be awesome! The day went by as normally as it could have gone, with no adventures or plans gone astray. Everyone went to bed feeling content, well-fed, and ready for the approaching weekend…just another day in an Adriatic paradise.
