ciao ragazzi

Va bene, tutti? Va bene ecco, ma mi sento male - sono ammalata. Questo il weekend mi riposo, prendo dalle medicine e bevo degli tè aromatici. Ahem. So I just found these awesome quick study academic outline things for Italian. You can stick them in your folder or binder or whatever and it makes me happy because oh my god, I need things like this. And I need to practice my italian so much more, and having something like this where I can just make up random sentences is a really great way to do that. You'd think by now that I'd be comfortable with learning to speak in a different language but I guess not. Not when I suck at it, or can't remember shit, anyway. >_> So, if you couldn't infer from the italian, I am sick. I was doing pretty decently yesterday but then I stayed up way too late like an idiot and today my voice is loopy and my nose is stuffy and I think maybe my body is telling me that I suck. So. Gonna try and take it easy this weekend, maybe write some more fun letters and do some studying and the like. I should probably start checking dates on essays and things since I know those will be coming up shortly. I also really want to see Serenity tonight at the SLB because that movie is hysterical and it's a spaghetti western in space - the best of both worlds, damn it, how could you not like it? - and well gosh, it's free. And then I kind of have a date Saturday night to this "Sonnets and Chocolates" thing that the school of theatre is putting on for various things. You can buy dates there, apparently, and there's also skits and other things. So. That should be interesting. Hopefully I will be feeling (and looking - my god, sometimes I forget how washed out being sick actually makes you look) better this weekend. There is talk of my brother taking the train up to visit us and I sincerely hope that he comes. I haven't heard anything yet, however, and I'm beginning to doubt that it may happen. He's got Monday and Tuesday off, and a play Saturday, so he'd just come up Sunday and leave Tuesday, if he came at all. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed because I miss my wittle Matty-pooh and it would be great to see him before we go home for spring break. I always find it amusing to be in the sober minority when you're hanging out with a bunch of friends at home or something. We did that last night and it was a lot of fun, and pretty damn funny. Shannon was so drunk and fun, and everybody was so incredibly chatty. It just makes me laugh. Some of the guys I've recently started hanging out with also got drunk with us girls, and it was equally amusing to be hit on and, amazing but true, cooked for. This guy Gil made me waffles. Earlier he'd offered to make me pasta. It was awesome. Okay. I want to go chill outside on the green now. It's just so beautiful out. The weather is getting warm again, after a few weeks of relatively cold weather, so it's nice to be able to put on some shorts and go bask in the sun. I think I will do just that, maybe do some studying (yeah right), write some letters, read... you know. Rock on.
