The last day of language class… We learned more about prepositions and other household vocabulary words. I’ve been waiting for this day to come all week, but suddenly I feel like I don’t want it to end. I don’t have enough grammar and vocabulary to go out in the world and effectively express myself. Now I want to learn more Italian. But what would be cool would be if I could download a huge chunk of Italian straight into my cerebral cortex the way seven of nine downloaded voyager’s library on Star Trek Voyager. I think that my closest alternative is listening to my Teach Yourself Italian CDs, which I think I’ll need to do starting in the next day or so.
We did get certificates to prove that we took Italian in Italy. That’s going in a special place at home.
The afternoon was far less interesting. Instead of visiting a museum, we did laundry. Quite of number of us needed to wash clothes, so we found a place that is self service and conveniently located near a restaurant where we could eat lunch in between loads. The Laundromats weren’t too different from American Laundromats except that you don’t put the change in the machine. There is a machine on the wall where you feed your money. Tiffany and I got a couple of loads done, but she ended up re-washing our white clothes again at home. We didn’t do much after that, except prepare for our trip to Florence the next day.
