Last night, Italian class went well. I think I'm over the overwhelmed
feeling and the fear of getting embarassed when mispronouncing a word. Good
thing too - The teacher kept calling on me - AND there were 16 other students in
the room!
The first hour, it was like every other pronounciation, he would call on me,
or use my name for the example of a phrase. He even spent time with me when I
was mispronouncing - I felt it was more than what he was spending on other
people. I'm surprised the other students weren't getting mad.
Now, MAYBE it was because I did some brown nosing - I showed him an audio
link that I found for a poem that we are supposed to memorize (or at least
try).
Dan left for Canada this morning - at 5 am. A little family bonding time.
Harry (Dan's mom's husband), Uncle Don, and cousins Jeff, Pete & Angie
(Don's kids) will all be meeting up at the cottage in Canada for what they hope
is a FROZEN WEEKEND. Have fun - there was no way I was going. I had enough
snow growing up in NY. I had enough snow when we went to Ohio for
Thanksgiving!
My weekend will be bonding with girlfriends. Having dinner with my friend,
Suzanne, tomorrow and maybe some shopping with Sandy (from work) on Sunday. No
Super Bowl parties for me. I may watch for some commercials since they are the
highlight
