So I have survived thus far, and I sometimes wonder how because I feel like I have been running and running and running non-stop since classes started.
I was completely exhausted when I came home from class on Monday. Completely discouraged, I started to wonder if this was the right place for me. Sometimes I feel like a fake artist or something because my creativity tends to come in phases, and it hasn't been with me lately. My first Ceramics class resulted in some lumpy pieces of clay. If a stranger had walked into that room and looked at my pieces, he/she would have thought that it was a kindergarten classroom. For a third year college student, it was pretty discouraging.
Oh Italian language: I don't even know where to begin. I was taught more in the first day of class than what I learned in the first half of the year in Spanish 1. Seriously. And I say "I was taught" because that's really what it was. A professor just talking at me. I didn't learn much, but I have a quiz on it all tomorrow. I was freaking out in class today because I didn't understand anything that the professor was saying, and I didn't know what to do. Hopefully, it will be okay after tomorrow since we will have a feel for her quizzes.
You know how people say that English is the hardest language to learn? Yeah, you know. Well, let me tell you. I highly disagree. I mean, come on. In English, our adjectives are adjectives. They do not change if you are a boy or a girl or if there is one of you or twenty of you. Italian sucks in that way. If I want to say "Sarah has a red shirt," I have to say, "Sarah ha una camicia rossa." If I want to say, "Sarah and Marco have red shirts," I have to say, "Sarah e Marco hanno una camicia rosse." I think... I could very well be wrong because I simply don't understand conjugating adjectives!
Much has happened, but I really need to start studying before I get too too tired! I wish that I had more time to write and blog and everything, but hopefully I will be able to truly catch up over the weekend! One more day!
Blessings.
