Day 30 - Friday May 30 - i never could count
Friday was the final day in my course in Urbania... whenver somebody has stopped long enough to listen i have ben using the analogy of a brick wall to describe my grasp of the italian language... how so you ask? Well,.. having been around italians italianness and italianism for my entire existense i have picked up loads of vocabulary which i stoed in a large pile,.. we shall call these ... bricks... after some basic schooling i have managed to arrange the se words into simple phrases, sentenses or what i like to call... a wall... or more correctly a garden edging... now this wall looksed ok,.. people would pass it thinking yeah theres that wall again, seen more like that one somewhere ah yeah just over there... as long as nobody leaned on it, played soccer against it, attempted to construct a swimming pool grandstand using it as support it basically worked as a wall... oh,.. water management was also right out...
my wall had lots of bricks but nothing holding it together,...sheesh do i have to spell out everything for you people...
well now.. after some intensive schooling... which i refer to cement... parts of my wall are kind of secure, parts are patchy,.. and others have had the bricks broken down and bright yellow and red tape used to keep tourists away from the area...
I am pretty happy with how the course went, dur to the fact that my conversation teacher was a bit of a tool ... actually he is a tool, a sidchrome 12'' shifter, my conversation skills arent quite what i hoped they would be, but you dont want somebody like me randomly going up to the locals and actually communicating with them now do you... see they had it all planned.
