The most significant concept I mastered this semester, and something I plan to continue practicing in my life, is the act of dériving. Challenging myself each and everyday to go out and explore Florence without having a destination in mind was difficult at first, but something I highly enjoyed by the end of my semester. The photo I chose to encapsulate my experience this semester is from my first technical "dérive", in which allowed me to gain a sense of Florence from a far. Throughout the semester, I learned that not only did I enjoy my daily walks more, but I got the privilege to see this beautiful city from many different perspectives.
