The Week in Pictures

Nothing much has happened this weekend to specifically blog about. Classes started.  I've been going out way too much.  Made a splurge purchase with a lot of buyer's remorse afterwards.  

Here are some pictures.

These two pictures are of my school.  It is kind of insane to walk into this building for class.  It used to be an old factory and it has this pretty little courtyard inside of it.

Milan is the most graffitied city i have ever seen.  And it isn't just tags but really elaborate pictures.  From my window, someone painted a blue penguin holding an ice cream cone and taking to a zebra (I will get a picture of this, I promise)

This was a protest that we happened upon.  These high school students are protesting a change in the system of the public schools.  The new system would make each grade have only one teacher for all subjects.  Hundreds of teachers would lose their job.

Some pictures of us going out (a lot)

Then we finished up with a picnic in the park.  It was beautiful out -  one of the first sunny days we have had here.  On a bridge, we found this conglomeration of locks that people have linked together over time.  It looks like people were signing names on it (usually couples).

It was a good week.
