I have a great time observing people in Italy. Here are a few common attributes that I have noticed:
Almost all the women have dyed blond highlights. ALL of them, with their yellow skin and heavily black eyelined eyes. I am not writing this in a biased way, especially since I have a few trusted viewers who pointed out to me that including names and certain phrases, if read by the wrong person, would be rather embarrassing for me. So, now, I have edited a few unpleasant feelings and removed any consequencial names. To continue,
Many men like to display the italian flag in some way. Some have a patch sowed on their belt or their backpack. Others will have a woven green/white/red string around their neck or wrist. I have never seen such patriotism in the US, unless you count the 'Naked Cowboy'. hah.
The last frequent style trend is, unlike the US, with guys wearing saggy pants and saggy boxers and some of them wear it seriously too low. Here, you sag resonably, and wear brightly colored (turquoise, red, yellow, lime) tight underwear.
I had Italian lessons today for an hour and a half. But, I only learned how to say 'My name is...', 'I am...', and how to make objects plural. This stuff I already knew. But I'm sure it will pick up.
The difficult class of the day was Informatica and it does not translate into Information like I thought. It is actually learning about computers and making programs and such. Today we were learning about binary. So anyone with extensive knowlage please give me a bit of an english summary. But no one in my class understood what the teacher was saying and it was in their own language.
Newest completed challenge:
I was able to ask a question about what we were studying in Physics, which meant that I could understand enough to know what my teacher was talking about. And the teacher was able to understand and answer the question, which meant that I was able to speak clearly enough for someone to answer.
This particular blog is very long, but I just keep having too much to say.

binary... there's either 0's or 1's. 0 means don't count it. 1 means count it. Each digit is a power of 2 and increases by one each time you move left. The number on the far right is 2^0, The second number from the right is 2^1, the third number from the right is 2^2 and so on. so...0000= 0, 0001 = 2^0 = 1, 0011 = 2^1 + 2^0 = 2 + 1 = 3, 0101 = 2^2 + 2^0 = 4 + 1 = 5....
Does this make a bit of sense?
I'm sorry.
