crap

i think the cosmic forces may be trying to keep me in italy.  i've had a very calm several months months here, and now and without a hitch EERthing is taking a turn.  well, for one, i'm getting attached to those little balls of italian joy.  although, i wouldn't mind NOT waking up at 6:30 am to screaming children.  none the less.  it makes me really sad to think of leaving them.  

numero due.  NOW, i'm being pursued by a teacher...with whom i am going to meet next week.  i mean - in all due respect, it's about dang time.  i can blame myself for that one.  i could have been searching harder.  anyway, we'll see how that goes.  if the cosmos have anything to do w/ it, he'll be the best teacher i've ever met and i'll never want to leave. 

oh, did i mention it's absolutely beautiful in rome now?  yeah.  there's a reason people come here in the spring.  damn.
