Back at LIS today for the first time in about 5 weeks. My decision-making really needs to be questioned!! Now I have NO time at all. I go to class from 9 – 1pm, I come home and try desperately to write up what I’m supposed to have learnt then I jump back on the trusty bike and I peddle furiously back to school for individual conversation class where I stutter and stammer and try to work out what is being said to me let alone forming sentences myself.
So…there are 8 in my class, probably the biggest one yet. There are 3 people from Denmark (a husband and wife and another woman who is not connected to them), 2 American men one young and one old (the old one is here with his wife having bought an apartment in Lucca), One young Swiss girl (I hate the Swiss with their language skills in the same way I hate skinny people who eat anything and everything), and one Chinese woman from Hong Kong who is studying in NYC – she’s older too. The teacher is a bit young and inexperienced but lovely. Her name is Laura. The class, in the theory department, is a bit below me but therefore very comfortable in terms of not feeling inferior.
For conversation I have my dear Ele…she really challenges me to go up a class but we are in agreement that I can’t speak to save my soul. This is the all time challenge and I just can’t give in!!
So home I peddle and grab the bottle of wine!! What more can I say?? I watch Suits which I’m loving but have only 2 episodes left. This will leave me bereft and with no idea what to get to entertain myself and unwind next.
Oh well…hopefully I’ll be here to tell the tale again tomorrow…
