fabulous florence people

Kass- she is in my digital multimedia class. we are working on a collaborative piece, doing photo emulsion on ceramics...pretty bitchin. she loves to learn and keeps diggin for more. you can tell she always wants to get as much as she can out of a situation. a genuine thirst for knowledge. she is a comforting person to me because she reminds me so much of my friend keeley from home.( both are short, irish, and say funny words like hazzah!) she understands where i am coming from and is easy to talk to and bounce ideas off of. plus she loves dylan and well that alone makes her amazing in my book

Liz- my roommate. she is a hard one not to like. she has one of the best laughes i have ever heard. sometimes it sounds so much like a child, just a very free laugh. she is a hippie child, though she denies it and does not like it, i am trying to get her to accept and love her free spirit hippie side. she is my 80s fashion queen. she rocks leg warmers like no bodies business! she is also a very strong personality and is very outgoing. she knows and trusts herself which is nice to be around. there is a comfort in being around someone who is so self assured. hahaha liz is also the loudest talker i have ever known. hahaha sometimes it is embarrassing, and she knows it, and does not care, but you have to love her for it haha amazing! 

Emily-she is also in my digital multimedia class. she is a painter, who wears all black and only a few splashes of color every once and a while. she is eclectic, most of her clothing looks like it is from a fancy vintage store or just fabulous old designer clothes and she is from OHIO!! she gets it. you know those people who just get it...she is one of them! she genuinely wants to hear what you have to say and she has a way to make you feel special every time she sees you.  i do not know her very well yet, but i hope to soon. she seems like a person who would be a lot of fun to go out on the town with. 

Iris- haha she is my batik teacher. she is an old english woman with salt and pepper hair and a wonderful old accent. so every monday and wednesday morning i have batik with her and she begins right away by reading the news and telling you everything that is happening in italian and world current affairs. she talks non stop, but it is not annoying it is REALLY enjoyable. i could listen to her all day! she is hilarious too! she makes you laugh all day as well. she is a joy to be around, she actually makes monday mornings fun. she also would do anything for her students. we always take tea breaks mid morning and one time we got ripped off, 1.50 euros for a cup of tea! (hot water and a tea packet!!) well we told iris and she was so upset at the price that she went to the bar and yelled at the man for us haha just love her!
