We had an amazing picnic at our friend's house. It was a beautiful, sunny, day-after-Easter spring day. A barbeque with friends.
I have the sunburn to prove how nice it was.
After a few beers I felt comfortable talking mostly in Italian. I still have difficulties telling stories because I can't find the right word or give the feeling I want others to feel. Sometimes I resort to English, but I can express and explain things that have happened to me and I can make others understand how that made me feel.
I understand individuals who are speaking to me, but if it's completely random I don't always understand everything.
I understand bits of conversations.
I'm progressing.
*********************
I'm excited about this summer. I will be directing camp. I spent a week at camp with my good friend and realized that I've been able to direct for quite awhile. So I'll be spending two months with French kids. It'll be fun.
After that...
I'm waiting to hear from two prospective employers. I'm leaning towards one, because it would involve working more directly with children. This would start in September. If I cannot find a satisfactory position, I might have to call my time in Italy short, return home and prepare for our wedding.
I'm pretty sure, however, that I'll get an offer from at least one of these ladies. If they both have something for me, I will be lucky enough to have a choice.
Here's hoping!
