hey

So it's spring!!!  Here in Chicago, it's beautiful weather...60 degrees outside; it's wonderful.  I almost went downtown yesterday, but I unfortunately suffered a mild setback when I realized I had walked down to the train line without my wallet!! ARGH!  haha.  I freaked out for a second because I thought I had lost it, but I hadn't, thank goodness.

So how does this have anything to do with education?  Well...as a matter of fact, it doesn't.

BUT, it's a nice introduction to an educational topic!  What's that, you might ask?  GRAMMAR and USAGE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!!!
YAY!!!!!

haha. unfortunately, I'm not kidding.  I have a quota to fill of blog entries, and they all must have SOMETHING to do with education.  I intend to do my part to educate American fools.  haha. Am I one of them? Quite possibly.  Whatever.

OK, so I'd like to begin this post (well, "the meat" of this post) with a translation of that first paragraph into Italian! (Because I can.)  Then I'll get all nit-picky and describe my failures to write in good English for the rest of it.  Then I'll call it a day.

Allora....e' primavera!!  Qua a Chicago, fa bel tempo...60 DEGREES fuori; e' stupendo.  Io stavo per andare in centro ieri, quando ho saputo che non ho portato il mio WALLET!!! Che schiffo!!!  haha.  Sono diventata ALARMED per un momento perche pensavo che l'abbia perso, ma non l'ho fatto, grazie a Dio.

Ok, so the words in caps are words I couldn't remember.  Let me go look them up at wordreference.com.  Brb.

Ok, now SUPPOSEDLY (b/c you can never be too sure)  Degrees=GRADI (oh yea, now i remember.)  Wallet= PORTAFOGLIO (lit. carries sheet...weird) and ALARMED=allarmato/a.

Va bene.

Well, change of plans.  I have to go asap, so I'll end here.  Bye! :)
