... I don't speak no English no more

Dear Mom,

As you know, last week was a sad week for my English. All those essays... Oh well at least that's over and those applications are submitted! Thank you for your help! And also great big thanks to Dad for getting it mailed! Most of the week was spent writing (actually I should say *attempting to write) those essays, so I didn't do much this week. One of my classes was really fun though! I finally convinced my technical design teacher to let me work on something and I've been doing proiezioni ortogonali. I draw a shape/solid in the first square on my sketch paper and then "project" it into the other squares and it becomes how it would look from all the different points of perspective. It's really fun! And I'm actually quite good at visualizing in my mind of how an object looks from all the different sides. I also enjoy math when we do planar geometry because I can really visualize the prisms and angles from a different view and know than an angle really is 90 degrees instead of a little tiny angle of 26 dgrees or something. My design teacher says I'm good at it me that I have a good hand for it, and I also enjoy it so that a bonus!

Saturday was a good day too. These past few days I have been reading Harry Potter and I just finished the second one. I didn't really want to start the third though because for one it takes a lot more time to read in another language but I also didn't want to get too into it like it normally happens when I read a book/series. So I suggested to my friends that we watch the movies instead! Saturday after school we started our "Harry Potter Marathon" and finished the first three movies. It was weird to see them though because they changed some of the names. For example Dumbledore is "Albus Silente" and Snape is "Professore Piton." There are a bunch of other names that were changed and it was almost hard to follow the story (especially in the books) because I didn't know who was doing what. It was a good though to spend time with friends after a week of staying home and working.

Well, March 28 passed and I officially have less than three months left here in Italy. I decided that I would like to read the Book of Mormon in Italian before I come home, or in other words in 3 months.  I am starting at the beginning, but it's an open offer for anyone who would like to join me. Even if you are in 3 Nephi you can read starting in 3rd Nephi and ending in 3rd Nephi. I really believe that it will have a positive effect on my last three months here and will make them more memorable and special. I love you all so very much and I'm grateful to you for your examples!
