A List

What I Did Today:

• Ordered a simple student desk from Staples on line. The email said it will be here on Tuesday. Before I ordered it, I showed it to Fred and asked him would he be willing to put it together for me. He said yes! So, next week I will have somewhere to do my Italian assignments besides the dining room table, my recliner and my side of the bed! And I can keep my books all in one place and not have to hunt all over the apartment!
• Finished typing my Itallian homework, checked it for spelling errors and corrected them. I am not a touch typist and although I am a good speller in English, I tend to mess up in Italian. The funniest was "le foglie" which is "the leaves." I wrote it as "froglie!" Well, you can see why when you see the sentence is "Le foglie sono verde." Verde means green so of course I typed "froglie!"
• After I checked the work for spelling mistakes, I went to the back of the text book and checked my answers with the right answers. I missed a couple but I am not too worried. I knew I didn’t understand that rule and it is quite clear I don’t.  Nichole {instructor} wants to know what we are having problems with so she asked us to indicate on our sheet where we had made mistakes.
• Found something on the Internet on http://www.google.it {the italian version of Google} about a park in my assigned region which is Sicily. {I wanted Tuscany but someone else got it} Anyway, Sicily has a rather nice web page  which one can choose to have translated to English which is a big help even though the English is a bit weird at times!
• Went for a walk. It was ok but a bit muggy and I had to turn on the fan when I got back.

What I Didn’t Do Today:

• Make a start on my art which I have to take to class tomorrow. By the time I was going to do it, I had run out of energy. I usually get up around 7 am and we leave about 11:15 so  I will have time in the morning when I have some energy to get the background down and the foreground sketched in.  I know what I am going to do… well, I think I do!
• Watch "Pani e Tulipi" { Bread and Tulips} again without the subtitles. Not a requirement but I wanted to do it. I may do it tonight . I love a subject where watching movies is part of our assignment.

Until later….
