Another slack week - but I don't have time to write in English! My goals are, some would say, extreme (Pazzo is a better word) but I've been very busy pretending to become fluent in Italian so I can move to Italy and marry a nice Italian regazzo (senza the madre!) and have 15 children that I will take to Sunday serivce in the Duomo, I simply haven't had time for writing in ENGLISH!!! It's a big job making such grand plans whilst running the gauntlets that are continually being thrown down by my mortal enemies: Fare and Pronome. I really hate you guys! And I already feel less than affectionate towards the verb teneses I haven't met yet - I've heard there are a million of them, and I'm fairly confident they're going to screw me and my future wedding in Venice to the wall!
Not nice, Italain. Not nice. Nice - what kind of an adjective is that?? Oh my God. I can no longer communicate in Italian OR English effectively!
(By the by: Dear Jesus, make it all happen and I really will reconvert and take my 15 children to the Duomo each Sunday. Or maybe that church behind the Piazzale di Michelangelo, so the fat little bastards can walk up all those stairs. They will be eating a lot of gelati, and after 15 children I'll probably need it too.
Oh - and that's just a figure of speech, Lord; they won't really be bastards, I swear it! (And I might settle for two children - I'm an extremely col-lapsed Catholic, after all. We can't expect miracles now, can we?!!)
Anyway, today marks the beginning of my last week in Firenze. And yes, I am already playing with the idea of staying just one more little day!!! It's been a great week - Switzerland (Zurich) last weekend, which was amazing, and this week - no scenery, no study, but plenty of socialising and cheap chianti!!! (I have studied a bit, actually, I'm not crazy - incurring wrath is not part of my itinerary!) I WILL MISS THIS LIFE SO MUCH!!! (Are you LISTENING Jesus/Santa/Zeus???!) Zurich was great: I can sum it up in one word, really: food. Not even particulary glorious culinary experiences, actually - I just ate. I don't know whether to put it down to Friday being especially epically rubbish or just that sausage and chocolate and rosti are ... divinity in an edible form!) I also went to the Zurich museum of fine art, and for the first time I had a REALLY good time being in an art gallery. I love Monet, and I must have spent about an hour just looking at his 6 paintings.
I'm so wonderfully cultured after 3 months in Europe :-)
Anyway, I promise I will elaborate on this culturally (deficient) high calorie weekend at a later date. I have to go to class now. I have one more week, as I said, to become more amazing than that pathetic entry in Italian a few weeks ago. I AM ROCKY!
Or just a rock. Oh Dear!
