...'cause i figured that there's just so many things I wanna write about.
There’s nothing much I could do right now, and since I forgot to bring 《棋王》home, I might as well start working on the Italian exercises which I was assigned with yesterday. By the way, yesterday’s lesson was great!
Italian lesson is a thing that I dread yet I know I’ll enjoy it in the end. It’s such a contradictory feeling.
I think the Italian lessons are both something I dread yet I know I'll enjoy it in the end, 'cause everytime I learn a lot. The Wanchai centre is so much better than the Central one. The only bad thing is that it's more convenient for me to go to Central, 'cause minibuses are faster, and the Central centre is right next to H&M, but considering the quality of the lessons, the Wanchai centre beats the other hands down.
Ho completato la mia scelta di JUPAS. I completed my JUPAS choice.
I think the grammar is correct.
Since I confessed to Emanuele that I have difficulty in memorizing the Italian vocabulary yesterday, he pointed at a picture in an PLIDA (official Italian language test) exercise book and told me to describe it. I realize that no matter what language it is, the speaking part is always the one I loathe most. I know this is a barrier which I must overcome somehow. ASAP, of course.
So we ended up (ours’ is a small group of 3, you can say it’s a private class, and of course that’d make the course fee higher) practicing speaking for…around…40 minutes, I guess. I don’t have a watch and there isn’t a clock in the room, so I don’t really know.
The speaking practice was quite fun actually after I got used to speaking aloud. We were just asking general questions to each other, and it really was quite enjoyable.
Emanuele says we’ll have 30 minutes of speaking practice for every lesson onwards. I really must look up some vocab before each lesson, I don’t really enjoy stopping after speaking 2 words only because I don’t know the Italian word for an object or an expression.
Emanuele is really very knowledgeable, and he kinda reminds me of the comical figures in the sketches and comic strips. His facial expressions are exactly like them! He also seems to know Latin, but I guess that’s normal for them. I don’t really know if they have to study Latin in Italy, but since Italian comes from Latin, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise for me that he knows Latin, especially since he has to teach Italian. Italian is already hard to learn, the grammar is completely befuddling, but Latin must be 10 times more difficult, if not a 100 times more complicated already.
(Actually had to retype the above ‘cause my Internet just went down all of a sudden, don’t really know what’s wrong, but still…I hate it when this happens.)
Hm…just love times like this, when I’m not drowned under all that project drafts and test revisions.
People keep asking me why I turned my focus to K-pop, and honestly, the answer’s simple, ‘cause no artist which I’m interested in are releasing new albums, and there really aren’t any good movies about to be released as well. Okay, maybe there is, but there’s only around 2-3 that I’m interested in watching, and I no longer follow any the TV shows, so of course I had to find a new focus to keep me alive aside from studying for Psycho. Tests, and after my sister had so greatly promoted SuJu to me and kinda dragged me to watch their concerts with her, it’s really not that hard to understand why I’m so into them now.
Okay, must stop now, ‘cause my sister’s been waiting to use the computer for an hour already. I guess I’m the computer-hogger now. lol
