The group that went to pizza learned words for baking pizza in Italian such as "farina" which means flour. The entire pizza lesson was taught in Italian. We learned how to mix and knead our own dough. After attempting to knead it into a flower shape, we sent it off to be baked and were given toppings to put on our pizzas. We spread tomato sauce on the dough and topped it with sausage, prosciutto, pepperoni, and tuna. Giovanna and Romano took our topped pizzas and cooked them immediately. When they were done, we indulged in our delicious pizza we ate a chocolate cake with Nutella as well as iced water!
The group that went to art learned how to make a press. After observing a very detailed demonstration that showcased th
e entire process, we were allowed to make our own. We began by spreading ink over a plastic platter by using a roller and then pressed various objects into that ink to make a design. When we were satisfied with the design on our platter, we laid some paper over the platter and used a rolling press to transfer the ink onto paper. Of course, the most popular color we used was Aggie maroon.
When we returned to the center, we ate lunch and listened to a discussion about the benefits and requirements of being in the honors program as well as the ways students can get involved on campus within the first few weeks of class. We were told of the numerous clubs and Freshman Leadership Organizations (FLOs) on campus that would be trying to recruit us. After our discussion we ate dinner and went out for our nightly gelato, where Luke dazzled the locals with magic tricks.
