Rain, rain, rain. It's been raining for about three weeks straight. We did have one day of sun last week but other than that, the weather has been taking after me when I watch a sad movie: slow constant tears with occasional dry patches and somewhat more frequent torrential bursts.
That's the big update. There's not too much new stuff going on, other than the fact that my Italian final is next week. My question is this: why, because Italian is the most immediately beneficial class I'm taking right now, is it the only class to end weeks before all the other classes? I'm also sad to see it go because it's my favorite class! I never knew learning a language could be so fun.
My friend Ben is studying in Austria this semester and came over for a visit last weekend. I got to play tour guide and show him around Milan, which was fun. I have another friend who is studying in Northern Ireland this semester who is coming to visit next weekend, and I can't wait to see her! We'll have to do our best impersonations of the accents of locals in our respective study abroad locations. My favorite thing to say in an Italian accent is something I heard an Italian say while in Germany. "Why there are no Starbucks in Italy? It is because Berlusconi! He say no Starbucks. But why? Why?! Where is the Starbucks?"
So fun. Ask me to say it for you when I get back.
Ha! Angela, you should find a good store in italy and then complain all the time that it's not in the U.S.
