Goodness, it has been longer than I thought since I wrote. Well, I am still enjoying my do-nothing-go-nowhere summer, but I have to confess that I AM looking at the college offerings on line! I notice that my previous Italian professoressa Jean is back for Italian ! in September and that is one c...

Several people have mentioned a mysterious vanishing entry I wrote. Well, it vanished because I deleted it because it was just too silly!Today in class we got to tackle the past tense. {Clutches aching head and cries a lot}  Actually, it really wasn't all that difficult except for one thing....

I feel as if someone has given me an unexpected  gift because I just got email and a phone call that la professoressa is ill and there is no Italian today! Having written that, I do need to say that I do actually enjoy her classes and I am learning a lot and I am…

EDIT for mailcheck: BOO! HISS! No Book!I just checked the email I got from Alibris when my books were shipped. They were shipped on the 24th. Expedited shipping which is what I chose is 4 to 8 days. The workbook arrived in four days but I am STILL waiting for the text book. Tomorrow is…

Tuesday is my two-class day. I remembered: to put my new workbook for Italian in my backpack to put a couple of bananas and some money in my backpack to put my water bottle in my backpack I forgot: to put my notebook for Italian in my backpack {But someone gave me a couple of sheets…

I have almost finshed my Italian homework. I have some vocabulary to memorize. I was somewhat taken aback when I looked at the page of vocabulary word she handed us just before we left. We have nouns, days and months and seasons,  adjectives--colors} expresssions like "Che mese è...
