Yesterday we started at language school again. We've done 2 months, then we took a 2 month break (for lots of reasons, sounds so slacker :D i promise its not...) and now we're in Milan, back at a different branch of the language school we attended back in Tuscany. (i know.. i'm speaking as if you should know all this, i would tell you.. but seriously, you actually don't even want to know)
Anywho, point is, at language school i have two dutch people, (? whats the plural for more than one person originating from the Netherlands?? i bounced it off my family, and they seemed to agree on dutchman, i don't think that sounds right.) Two people who come from Holland, thats fine. Anyways, so these two peeps are in my level at the language school. If you haven't already connected the dots, we're learning Italian. Now, there's a guy and a girl. I doubt if they knew each other before, but as i've learnt recently, Language unifies. More than any of us know. So yesterday, i really liked the guy, i was sitting next to him and they put us in groups all the time. He was really out of it and not paying attention, and then the second lesson, we got a different teacher. She was this crazy chick with bright red thick rimmed, but some how pretty cool glasses, frizzy, half straight wavy coarse hair, thin-ish and old. (Well my version of old, she wasn't a granny) and she had a high pitched voice. Now, all the people in the class have already been together for two prior months before i arrived for the beginning of level one. So, in short, i was the new kid. And apparently, this witch likes to pick on the new kids. AGH! So, she picked on me for an entire 1hour40 minute session and i sat there and silently endured it. Even though this is not in fact high school, and actually a private, flipping expensive language school. (this is where my dutch connection comes in) so he sat there, hating it as much as i was with his major attitude and slicked hair. He was really funny, i loved the fact that he has so much attitude. It kept me so amused, even though we never really got to converse all that much.
Then today, the girl and guy were sitting close to me, so i didn't know how to open the lines of communication, and luckily i had a box of mini Chuppa-Chupps in my bag. So i figured that a good way to break the ice would be to share some sugary snacks when we were meant to be focussing on the wicked, red rimmed, witch. (she had a new newby to pick on.) Ater that, we talked about how close Dutch and Afrikaans, a language spoken in South Africa that i speak,are. We also chatted about how much it sucked that Netherlands didn't do as well in the European cup that we expected them to and the 2010 World Cup. It was so fun making some friends. All thanks to my little suckers, something that i will definitely keep in my bag for future ice-breaking sessions. YAY!
Then, after all that excitement, i saw one of my very first scene-kid boys in the train. He happened to be sitting in front of me, and also happened to be gorgeous.. So today was a good day... yay for that. :)
byeee for now!!!
