Ottobre 22, 2010
This morning I woke up, ran, then went to the library to do my homework. Before I left, I got a quick layout of the area around the bus stop, I needed it to do part of my homework. When I got to the library, I found a relatively empty table, and started... I had to describe with directional prepositions what was around my bus stop... the real estate office, the furnishing store, the women's clothing store, the coffee bar, the gelateria, and even the apartments above them all. After I finished all my descriptions, I then had to conjugate some verbs into present tense using certain pronouns and make sentences with them... there were no specifics on what the sentences had to have, so I was creative with mine... it took probably an extra hour, but I think the final product will speak for itself... :)
Some of the sentences were simple, what you expect on homework sentences, others were more creative, like; "You take 3 nuns with you when you drink at the pub?"... you know, fun quirky sentences like that... it made for some entertaining trains of thought...
After I finished, I headed back to the flat. On the way, I walked by a woman on the ground surrounded by a crowd with a belt around her upper led and two men at her side. She was concious, but had blood on her face... I heard one woman ask if anyone had called an ambulance, I wanted to help, but felt kind of helpless, so I decided to at least help by not contributing to the staring crowd...
When I got home, I put my stuff up, started to take a nap, then heard the buzzer, Nic and Mattise got finished with school about 30 minutes early and were rearing to go... we had snack, then played some Mario Kart, then had to go to tennis... Nic, Lavi, Mattise and I all walked down to the courts (only a few minutes late, they have tiny legs, what can I say). Nic and Lavi got their tennis on, while Mattise and I watched, a guy asked me to come and pick up Nic's uniform, so I did, I wasn't completely sure of all his size stuff, but the guy said we could bring it back next week if it was too big... Zio Marco came to watch Lavi play and picked up her stuff as well... apparently though, they'd run out of her stuff and had to order more, so he just got her socks... Marco was apparently VERY good at futbol when he was younger and that's how he paid for his education, a striker. He also apparently learned English by studying in English speaking public schools for 1 month per year for 5 years... that's pretty impressive, and a lot of dedication.
After tennis, we went and got a birthday present for one of their classmates' party on Saturday... it was a type of Lego thing we ended up picking I think. Then back home for some pasta rotelle al sugo and some amazing skewered chicken with Mom's picante salsa! MMMmmm.
Live . Laugh . Love
Tomorrow you may never know what you might have missed out on.
