Sola ho parlata italiano...per favore...

I started my (seems like 8th) italian classe. I venture to Centro Internazionale Studenti Giorgio La Pira, vicino Piazza Repubblica. I really like the class. Claudia is our insegnante(teacher) and she is very bubbly and helpful. I felt I was able to speak rather well at first. Then when it came to describe what we did over Capadonno(La Befana), I was speaking in a bunch of incomplete sentences. I felt like an idiot. For those that don't me personally, I am sooooo hard on myself, let it be with soccer, work, life, friends, speaking a different language. I WANT TO BE PERFECT!! VOGLIO PERFETTO ESSERE!!! I am pretty sure that is wrong. But if you know the right answer please be kind, cuz I am one that will for some reason, feel like a complete idiot for a good 2 hours after being told. Yeah....I need to become more confident in speaking italian. That is all. I just need to DO IT! Damn it just do it!!

I met a danish girl in my class, she doesn't speak that much inglese, so I hope to hook up with here and speak only italiano!! How great would that be???

I just can't find a way to back down, cuz I know, knowing me, like I am doing now, stalling until there isn't time for Valentina to take me driving.

I really need to drink more...vino that is. I need to relax and find a way of not getting so tense and nervorso about everything!

I am going to buy a pilates mat in the next few days so I can find peace in this experience instead becoming a tense American, who isn't fun to live with. If anyone can give me some encouragement for this dilemma I am creating for myself, I would truly appreciate it!

Domani e nuovo giorno!!

a presto
