Painting

Paint til 2am, wake up at 6:30am to continue...2 and a half days to go from underpainting-->painting is a little bit rough. I bought a men's white button up shirt to paint in. When I wear that, my paint stained jeans and glasses I feel like a pro even if whatever I'm painting doesn't turn out that way...
I bought more chocolate today, it was a candied fig covered in dark chocolate. It didn't taste like a fig at all, more like chewy sugar, but the chocolate was good. There's an Italian practice pre-dinner meeting and dinner twice a week where we can only speak Italian, so I'm learning faster by trying to use it more. I need to start studying from a textbook on my own though, especially all the unusual verb conjugations.
Last night was Carnevale so everyone went out. It's like Halloween, some guy was even dressed as Marge Simpson. Italians are fun to be around, I like it here.
