Astrofisica
On another note I also attempted to take a biology class today at the University of Florence. However the Italian university system is quite different then the American one and much less organized. Thus the class although listed (and confirmed to exist by the registrar) was not actually taking place today. Therefore I decided to take Fondamentale in Astrofisica (yes fundamentals in astrophysics) with my friend Anna. It turned out to be better then I thought it would be. I loved being surrounded by Italians my age studying science, and I was able to follow along fairly well since radius, pie, and the speed of light are all represented by the same symbols in Italy as they are in America. The universality of science is something I have always liked and for a minute I forgot I was in an Italian classroom, which was nice. It made the world feel a lot smaller.
