I want to learn Italian now!

Today(June 27th) was a pretty slow day. I woke up pretty late, got up, and tried to work on my family presentation. I started getting sleeping again about an hour after I woke up. I think reading makes me sleepy. I will never need sleeping pills. =P

At about 4:00, I decided to get lunch. I've eaten everything that I own in our fridge except for a head of lettuce and some strawberries, so I decided to stop by the Forno that everyone was talking about to check it out. I got there and ordered my pizza and the baker tried to talk to me, which ended up being quite difficult because he knew limited English and I know no Italian.

Through a lot of gesturing and butchering of Italian, we established that I was from She-at-el and was an En-jin-eer-i of bee-ol-o-ji-a. And that I was a college student living in Trastavere. By then my pizza was ready and came hot out of the oven where it was being toasted. He put my pizza in a cute little take out box and then gave me two little pastries for free! Awww, so nice. =D.

Now I really want to go learn some italian and go back and talk to him again!
