For Erica, 'cause she asked. You could get your own post if you just asked, you know.
Am feeling somewhat bitter today that it insists on still snowing. Apparently they have not had this much snow in Milan for five years, and then it was a little bit for about four hours.
Didn't really talk to people in language class as they seem to know WAY more Italian and a majority don't speak English as their first language anyway. Feel somewhat stupid but am dealing. One girl, Anastasia, and I walked to the train together. She's very nice. From Moscow and we spoke in stilted English and stilted Italian. I think I'm still going to be screwed for classes Italian-wise since I'm not learning language specific to my major. Hopefully classes will be conducted partly in English, though this is doubtful.
May have a place to live in between this coming Saturday and March. Yay! Waiting for the Leonardo school peeps to get back to me on that.
To Peachers: I haven't forgotten about our SNL convo and I know it's weeks late. I cut most of the video into the different parts, just didn't get around to arranging it and such quite yet. I also wanted to include clips from the NPH SNL so there would be context. I love you baby, don't be mad. ;-)
This was Saturday. We went to check out a market, discovered a very lame market and it was very cold. We then walked very, very far to the apartment that I'll be moving into in March and then even farther to figure out how I could get from said apartment to NABA.
LOOK! A TRAM! There are many of these in Milano.
This is when I was leaving the language school/NABA/whatever other schools are in this area. This area is less depressing and gross when it is sunny. And I know this because it was sunny for most of the day on Friday.
We're going backwards ya'll! This is the NABA/Other Schools That Don't Matter entrance.
On my way to the metro. It was a perilous journey! PERILOUS I TELL YOU!
Out of the metro and on my way to the hotel where Mum and are staying until she leaves and I am homeless (until March).
I really think you can sense my bitterness at walking through slush in these pictures. The way I see it, Milan and I are currently in a fight. Once it decides to get off its high horse and get back to some normal weather (preferably a few degrees warmer than "normal" would be preferred even if it does signal the beginning of the end of the world), then we're going to be at odds. I hope to make up soon, because you all know that making up is the best part of a relationship, but I don't think it's going to happen any time soon. Sadface.
