Good Class day!

I should have known I was going to have a good day because this morning I had a nice video chat with my bestie bailey! I was in such a good mood afterwards and it made my day just great! Class was a lot better today. I understood a lot of things, I was the second in my class to finish an exercise and I got lots of it right, and I made a new friend. This sweet girl named Amelie from Germany. She is very sweet and we had a nice conversation about how difficult languages are. She said she feels stupid sometimes too. We also talked about how far away Texas is, the time change, and all kinds of things. It was SO NICE to talk to someone. I admit we both used an occasional english word but for the most part we talked in italiano.

After class I was in a good mood and headed over to my usual bar for a quick lunch. I have been going there everyday after school. I get un caffe and a sandwich, I eat standing and it costs 2 euros. Yum. They know me and say ciao when I go in. Nice. Feeling pretty proud of myself I went to the Termini to look into buying a ticket for tomorrow. I did almost the entire transaction in italian. The older woman who helped me was patient and even said "parla molto bene"! yay. My ticket is for the express train which gets you to Napoli in 75 minutes! It is usually a three hour train ride. I will get to Napoli at 10:10 and then buy my ticket to Pompeii from there.

My plan is to go to Pompeii and afterwards go to Sorrento and take a bus along the coast to Positano. I am incredibly excited and proud that I could manage to buy myself a ticket. I won't be taking my computer because I don't want to have to worry about it in my luggage. I will have my cell phone so you can except phone calls! Thanks everyone for being so supportive, I can't even tell you how great it is to hear form home and talk to people via ichat (b!).
