The chronicle (when I have internet access) of my travels through Italy, Spain, and Morocco this summer.

conjugating

Taking a short break from intensive conjugating practice drills (using conjuguemos.com, a site we used in high school for Spanish--I tried a different site, I forget what, but I like conjuguemos more. I might keep looking, though, as verb selection on here is rather small) to post a quick update.

Today, I bought a camera and a memory card for my trip (and life, I guess). It's nothing impressive, but for my purposes, I really didn't require much, so I think it's a small model with 5x optical zoom and 10.2 megapixels. I hope I like it. I'm not really concerned about it sucking, as I don't need my pictures to be like pieces of art or anything. I just want to be able to take drunk pictures at bars to post on here later. Hahahahaha (just kidding, mom and dad).

I also bought my outlet plug adapter/voltage converter (Ada, my stupidass phone charger says it can't take more than like 120V or something stupid like that. This is what I get for having a shittyass phone. BUT it's lasted me more than one year of college, which is more than I could say for the better phones I had before it).

A few days ago, as an act of preparation, I printed off my e-ticket and placed it in my Perugia trip folder, and I scanned all of my important documents (passport, visa, license, credit and debit cards) to keep in electronic files on my computer, on my mom's computer, and in e-mail attachments to myself. I am preparing for all catastrophies. Then I locked my passport in my mom's fireproof box. This trip will not be stolen from me even if hell breaks open and devours my house.

Back to conjugation. Oh, by the way, I am not going to be NEARLY as far in my Italian review as I'd hoped. I guess it was stupid to think I could get myself semi-fluent in a month's time from a textbook and computer program.

P.S. I love the World Cup (GO USA!), and I just pray for Italy to move into the quarterfinals so that they can play while I'm there! Pray with me!
