So it looks like the last we left off was on Sunday. I've been alone all week because my roommate stayed in Scalea and she isn't coming back until Monday. Anyway.
Monday I had my Italian class with Guia which was identical to the same thing we had done for two weeks. It wasn't anything too interesting. The walk home was, though. I was walking and singing, "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen when a group of American tourists passed me and they stopped and started belting it out together. We had a jam session. By far, one of my favorite moments in Italy.
Tuesday I had my first lesson with Bianca, my arch. professor. I simply ADORE her. She speaks English, practically fluently. But she has a British accent. When I can't understand her it's not because she has an Italian accent but because British people pronounce some words differently. I really enjoyed it. On my way home I stopped by and talked to a little old lady that's about 80 years old who sells bananas by the metropolitana by my house. Then I went out with Eugenio, Annarita and Rita to see Bite Me. It was quite amusing for me because I would laugh when Italians wouldn't and they would laugh when I wouldn't, just to show a cultural humor difference.
Wednesday was SUCH a long day. I met up with Bianca because my architecture class is one hour in the classroom, 3 hours on site, where I see what we talked about in person. We saw a couple of museums and churches, it was really cool to see what we talked about. Then I came home, did laundry, went to my private tutoring with Professor Vecce. We walked around and talked about what I read. I came home and was exhausted, I had walked for almost 6 hours.
Thursday was tranquil. I went to class. It was my grandma's birthday, so I called her. Eugenio came over, we cooked and ate.
I am going to become a professional ironer - I ironed all my stuff last night (I felt very Italian).
Today I had my one hour lesson with Bianca and now I'm here. I have homework, boo.
Tonight Eugenio's coming over. I don't know what we're doing.
Tomorrow I'm taking Nancy, the woman I met on my travels to Naples, around Naples before she leaves the country. The poor thing hasn't left the military base since she got here, almost a month ago!
I'm getting frustrated with trying to plan travels. Everytime I plan something, it falls through. The fact that I can't skip any classes is a major drawback for me. I'm glad Milan, so far, has been going well.
Some updates about life: my grandma (who had her birthday on the seventh) had a small hospital problem - I'm still not sure what happened. She's still in the hospital. And I found out a friend of mine recently passed away in a car accident. It's been bothering me and I don't really know why.
until next time!
