Today is the first day of classes. The whole reason I am over here. So I sat down with my readings this morning over my coffee out on the terrace. Last night at dinner, the Professor indicated that the reading would be about an hour. I did not need a second cup to finish the readings.
Dinner was fun, at least to meet everyone. The food itself was some what disappointing. The menu choice was arranged by the school with no input from me. The main course was sliced turkey breast with fries. Somehow, 7 vegetarians got basil, mozzarella, and tomato, which would have been my choice. The bread showed up with the turkey. Some of us did not have wine glasses; the ristorante ran out. That baffles me...if they have 100 seats, how could they not have a setting for each seat? Oh well, I figured out how to drink the wine anyway.
The Professor of comparative family law told everyone that attendance matters. Neither of my professors said anything about attendance. After two years of perfect attendance, skipping class will be hard to do. It is not like they do not give us enough time to do and see stuff. In fact, they are taking us on tours of much of the things to do and see, e.g. Palazzo Vecchio, Uffizi, city tour, etc.
