okkkkkkk so i am going to journal and then transfer it over to the blog unless i can get to the internet in city hall tomorrow.
cimadolmo has been an interesting, learning, and growing experience for me. the first two days here i was in complete culture shock, devestated that i was torn away from the close friends i made during orientation, and exhausted from trying to talk to my family who speak very little english, and work with children who look at me like i have 10 million heads everytime i ask them if they understand.
howeve, after monday things definitely went on the upswing....my kids who are all around age 13 and 14 have become much better albeit they are absolutely nuts, we are doing this crazy color wars type mini olympics thing which my team is totally kicking butt in and is just my favorite part of camp, the two tutors (colleen and matt) who are with me and carly are AWESOME, and i'm learning italian and my family is learning english. we are both trying very hard and it's great. last night they even tried to play scrabble in english....it was so cute.
soooooo tomorrow is the last day of camp (wooooooot!) and the show should go off without a hitch, hopefully. i'm leaving early saturday morning with the rest of the tutors, spending the day in venice and meeting up with some friends from my orienation-bajardo (YAY!) and then taking the midnight train to rosetta degli abbruzzi in abruzzo where i'll be working with 8 other tutors, staying in apartments off the adratiac sea and having an amazing time, then next saturday off to rome where i will spend a night in a hotel with colleen and then back to the US!!!! i am so flippin excited i can't wait!!! and i think i'm going to get to pettarano sul gizio and see where mia famiglia was born which would make my trip pretty much the most amazing thing ever.
alright i gotta go, off to oderzo with the host fam.
LIBBY CALL MY PHONE i ran out of euros and need to buy some more tomorrow 393339886259!!!
love and miss you all.....9 days and counting till i'm back in the states.
love lauren
