Ok first of all: I'm feeling a lot better than Thursday. I've been sleeping a good amount. I feel a little more balanced. It's all part of the adventure.
Yesterday my host family surprised me by bringing home maple syrup from the grocery store!!!!!!
It's the worst maple syrup I've ever tasted but it's the thought that counts
I seriously love my host family
Last night Ludovica prepared Panna Cotta - a typical Italian dessert - kind of like pudding but a lot heavier / less healthy.
It's a combination of cream, milk, and sugar - simmered together and then chilled in the fridge overnight. Today Ludovica added strawberry jam to the top and we ate after lunch for dessert. Soooooo delicious. I highly recommend. Frozen yogurt is basically the same idea - minus 700 calories - but nothing compared to this.
What else.
I've been reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. It's beautiful. Thanks again, Granny :) I love you.
Earlier today I edited my host brother's résumé - he wanted to translate it from Italian to English and it needed some fine tuning. I wrote a short paragraph about my American family in German. And I studied a little Italian with my host mom while she ironed.
OH. Bad news. Remember that math test I took? I got a 19/40 or a "5-." Yikes. Terrible. I have another math test tomorrow so I should probably go study for that. Alright. Love y'all. Ciao.
