Un giorno della settimana tipico




I survived the first part of the week. It is all downhill from here. Jet lag was pretty bad on Tuesday. I've never really had such a problem when traveling overseas. I think it was the extra stress and pressure of having so many expectations. I've never taught a course before so I think this would have been stressful without the jet lag. But it's looking good. "Bene, multo bene."

Insonnia



First picture from Milan. I call it "Hotel Room."
sigh. I hope they get better than this...

Me, Jolie, and Italy

Just got to Italy a couple of hours ago. I'm working on my class I have to teach tomorrow. The trip here was quick and without any delays. Angelina Jolie was goin' through the metal detector in Houston last night. I was right behind her. That's about all to write home about. I also got ripped off by a taxi driver. It cost 45 Euro to get form the airport to the hotel. I don't know. Maybe that's how much it really does cost. But I doubt it.

EDIT: It should have cost 15 euros. dammit.

Oh, and Milan is kinda like Houston without all of the cool buildings. That statement may change once I get out of here and look around. I'm nervous aobut my class tomorrow. I've never done this and I'm certainly not prepared. So, I guess I'm gonna go prepare.
