Studiare Day 6
Friday morning we all looked like zombies. We were tired and hot, and news of the shootings back home didn’t help. Our class session in the morning was only a few hours. Then we were basically let free for the … Continue reading

Mi Piace, Mi Gusta – Day 10: Niente speciale (nothing special)
Tonight’s blog post will be short because nothing too unusual happened today. In the morning, I stumbled my way through Italian class. (We’re learning passive voice verbs. Ugh!) After class, I stopped in Chiesa Nuova for some quiet prayer time. … Continue reading

Last night I couldn’t finish my blog post because the wifi in my apartment seemed to cut out. After a frustrating hour or so, I went to bed around midnight. Four hours later I wa awakened by a weird nightmare … Continue reading
