Ludo has a big English test tomorrow. She - and almost everyone else in my host school - will be taking the "English For You" test tomorrow from 9am til 7pm. She's been studying incredibly hard everyday for the past 2 months. Good luck bb.
Sara - one of my classmates - gave me a short, modern novel called Tre Volte All'Alba written by Alessandro Baricco. I find it easier than Il Giovane Holden because there's a lot more dialogue but, like Il Giovane Holden, it's written in the remote past. The remote past is a verb tense not commonly used. My Italian tutor suggests I read Bianca Come il Latte, Rossa Come il Sangue. It's written in the present tense and from the narrator's point of view. Very simple prose but complicated ideas about the meaning of life, a teenage love story, a girl dies of cancer, etc.
My physics teacher and I started talking about cheese and - long story short - I'm making ricotta muffins for her on Monday. Ah the things I get myself into.
Ludo and I are officially going to Rome on April 30th~!!!!!!!!! We're seeing a concert and going shopping. So excited.
