Molto Bene.....That's Italian, Right?

The loudness of college students is sometimes incomparable, but often this excitement is a result of the frantic struggle to complete something that should have been completed hours, days, and weeks before hand. Currently resonating throughout dorm room 507 are the screams of fear as we all try to make our schedules before some other students scoop up the classes we want. Some of us have formulated plans as to what we have in mind while others, have put it all off until now, unmercifully  trying to find classes worth taking. I have quite a few plans in mind for my schedule, however my opportunity to pick classes doesn't begin till 7. With these thirty minutes i find myself constantly checking the total number of spots available in the classes I want, nervously anticipating them to be taken up by the time I come around. On the agenda is Italian, Statistics, World Literature, American Government, and for my entertainment, Sports Management. Most interestingly though is the addition of Italian, a class I did not anticipate ever having to take again.

One of those things that I had always heard throughout school is that if we took our language again in junior year, then we wouldn't have to take it once were in college. But here I am.....in college.....taking Italian. It might just be that fate is cruel and all of my hard work will go for naught, ok all of J-Wangs hard work that somehow got me better grades then him. Or maybe its the karma of Rossi and I making a mockery out of the class for an astounding seven years. Now I should hope that after those seven years that my mind has picked up a bit of the language, yet thinking back to those years all I can think of is doing presentations with J-Wang and Rossi, where the presentation was as new to Rossi and I as it was to the rest of the class. I'll be honest, I don't even know what his project to the left is, I don't even remember what grade we did it. Well we didn't do it thats why, all J-Wang. I really didn't do much at all in these projects, it was always J-Wang, he was the brains behind the operation, but I always came out on top during the presentations because as we all know J-Wang isn't quite the most vocal kid out there. But I digress, in the end its time for me to go out on my own and try to learn Italian. 




I promise to make Ms. Koch proud though!





Probably not actually......

  2. You never told me you had a blog man. Anyway, very well written and couldn't agree more. You gotta shove it in that lady's face when you get your grades back for that class
