Morning Worries

The Freecycle person who was supposed to pick up my bag of clothing last night didn’t come, but there was apologetic email this morning and she says she will have them out of here by 9 am. If they are not gone by the time I get home from class, I have five more emails asking for them and I will move on to the next person on the list.
Test today  so, a brief review:

  • Days of the week starting with Monday. {Note no capital letters and there is supposed to be an accent on the last letter of those that end in an i.  }    lunedi, martedi, mercoledi, giovedi*, venerdi*, sabato, domenica
  •  Month: gennaio, febbraio, marzo, aprile, maggio, giugnio*, luglio, agosto, settembre, ottobre, novembre, dicembre
  • Seasons: la primavera, l’estate, l’autunna, l’inverno
  • * indicate the ones I am having trouble remembering/spelling. Actually, I am not guaranteeing the spelling of any of them!
  • Actually, giugnio is not that hard if I think of how it is pronounced. Gi is pronounced J as in June. The second g is silent so, basically, that word is pronounced junio!

Having messed up one time on when all homework is due, I am now neurotically worried about it all. I have checked THREE times on the sheet we were given, and, yes, it still says that it is due the Tuesday of the week after it is assigned. That means NEXT Tuesday for the raccontino, the grammar work, the printout from the web and the questions and answers that go with it. I have almost finished the raccontino, the printout is done and the questions written, and answered. I have begun the grammar work. I am in good shape yet I still got up at 4 this morning to be SURE …  Well, it has given me time to do a good review for the test…

Do Americans use the word "worrywort" or is it only used in England? Anyway, Patrizia=worrywort!

Until later….

I use worrywart. No wait…that sounds like I’m taking a new and effective herbal remedy of some sort. I use the word worrywart.

I use worrywort. I am definitely one!! LOL

I use the word worrywort all the time. Because I am one!

I use worrywart and I AM one. definitely.

worrywort is used a lot, but probably not by the most recent genration. Lately I’ve caught myself saying things like “broken record” and realize that the person I’m talking to has probably never even seen a record. Italian is a lot like Spanish. Could be that you’re learning 3 or 4 languages and don’t even know it. I think Portuguese is similar, too.

I definitely use the word worrywort 😉 I have always loved Italian. It sounds so pretty when spoken 🙂

October 5, 2006

Oh, we use the word – and I sure can be one!!!

Patrizia, I’ll bet your teacher wishes he had more students who are as dedicated as you are. Arrivederci.

October 5, 2006

I use the word worrywart, but I am seldom one myself.

My Mom used to call me a worrywort! But I really wasn’t so much worrying as just working really really hard and obsessing about getting an A+ and etc., etc., etc.! That sounds like you, too! hugs, Weesprite

I use worrywort because I am one. LOL!

My grandmother said worrywort. I just say that I am a worrier. I like that line in the theme song for the show Monk that says, “if you paid attention, you’d be worried too…”

The days of the week look similer to how they are written in french!! except for Thursday and Sunday lol! <3 Annie-Rae
