Scribblings

Hiya all,

I am returned to the awesomeness that is LitNet - hopefully permanently this time! Things have been a bit crazy in Italy, what with a family that speaks no English, a me that speaks very little Italian, and all the work of trying to settle myself into a life that speaks no American (here, English and American are two different languages, and Italian very different from both ). But, in somma, I've managed to survive almost 5 months, and things have gotten a lot better and almost (possibly) normal?

So, for those of you who want to know some more about Italy, I have been sending out monthly emails to all my family and friends around the world while I've been here. Although I don't want to overload the blog with repasting all of these here (they're pretty long), I'm going to put up at least the 1st one, which has mostly information about the Italian schools. If you want to see the others - which talk about all sorts of stuff, including info from trips to other areas of Italy - or to be added to the monthly mail membership, just email me: [email protected].

s to all from the red, white, and green,
Mir
