Well, it went. I didn't sit in and watch, apparently that is allowed and at the last minute Sarah wanted me to go. I didn't think that would be best to have mom hovering. But, Virginia's mom went and she reported that Sarah did fabulously! The teachers interrogated her for over 40 minutes - Sarah did most of the talking. Her powerpoint presentation didn't properly load onto her teacher's not up to date PC, but Sarah soldiered on. She got caught by one question - and it was a tough one and maybe not fair, but in a way a gift. Her art teacher, a frustrated and failed architect, asked her about the Twin Tower's design influences and rationalism and who was the father of modern architecture - correct answer - Le Corbusier. But poor Sarah couldn't remember.
This afternoon the results of the exams will be posted.
I did sit in on Virginia's exam. She was very nervous and considering the gang from Lerma showed up just in time to watch outside the door, she did great. When she got stuck or made a mistake, she laughed it off and corrected herself. She had her teachers in the palm of her hand. Virginia is a very poised and graceful young lady.
After the exams, Sarah, Vi and the "Gang of 3" from Lerma headed to the beach for some fun in the sun after a morning of stress. Then for dinner all the kids came here. There was my Sarah sitting at the table with Vi, Julia, her brother Simone and Lorenzo - who gets nearly perfect marks at school and plays the piano too. They were loud, funny and you know - just normal kids enjoying each others company. The Gang from Lerma are staying at Vi's until Sunday when they go back home to Lerma.
After the kids devoured dinner, they banged on Anna's drums and played the piano they headed to the passagiata for an evening stroll.
All I can say is Sarah is lucky to have such wonderful friends!
A presto
