Its not super difficult to communicate to my family (I cant say talk because that would be an overstatement) and I do usually get my point across, but sometimes they give me this look and I just want to yell 'Im not an idiot, I just dont know what you're saying!!". But maybe that makes me an idiot. Who knows, really.
As for my family, they are all very nice. Everyone is very kind, and they still treat me sort of like a guest which isnt exactly good. Actually, tonight we went over the questionnaire that Intercultura (AFS Italy) gave me. It was pretty basic stuff; what time is dinner, what are the rules and chores, what should I call you, etc. Most of it was pretty straightforward, and I am supposed to call them Ignazio and Tonella, which kind of threw me for a moment, but I recovered haha :)
Theres not much to say about the trip over here. It was long, boring and uncomfortable, as any world traveler would agree ( ;) ). I flew (as many of you already know, since the only people that read this is my family and they knew about every move I made) from Burbank to NY, NY to Zurich, Zurich to Rome, and finally Rome to Cagliari. God those days are a blur. A mess of planes, bags to carry and surprisingly good airplane food (In Europe. I dont even remember if the Burbank-->NY flight fed me). The people in AFS were all very nice. I met a girl named Amberlyn who was my perpetual roomie the entire trip until Sardegna, so she and I hit it off. Theres not much else to report...
The only reason it took me so long to post this was because everywhere I went, I couldnt get internet. Which was frustrating on so many levels. Anyways, I figured out how to use my converters, after trying to force things together for about 5 minutes. Yeah dad, I know. Brilliante. Hahaha.
Im liking what I see so far.
Love you all
