feeling strange

over the past 7 years, I've always signed up to do the language proficiency exam. save for 5 years ago, when i passed spanish at the b level, i had always failed....this year the invitiation for the registration of the exam came out and i did not sign up for it...
this is the first year i haven't been studying spanish or listening to anything in spanish, it's quite odd.
i'll definitely try it next year but for now its on the back burner as other things need to happen first.

oh and side note, i haven't posted about the bus in the longest time, haven't heard from either in just as long.... yesterday i nearly got hit by a bus...a police bus.... and i thought that was funny

3 part post

ok kari, the previous post (as in, anywhere but here entry), is the first part. second is on multiply.
and here's the 3rd part.

during the course of the evening, after consuming so much alcohol, i felt sleepy.

since we were practicing italian, for the benefit of most, i tried to join in. our host didn't have water, just lots and lots of alcohol, i had reached the sleepy part of getting drunk.
i was keeping Vale, the host, company in the kitchen as she needed to wash some plates for the arriving visitors, when he and she walked into the kitchen. (during the course of the evening he receives a call from his friends asking him what he was up to and if they could meet up, he just told them to come over). we were all in the kitchen waiting for the guys to arrive when i said.

i said, "ho sonno. voglio scopare"

i wanted to say, i'm sleepy i want to run away to sleep. unfortunately, scopare means, "i want to fuck". to runaway is scAppare. no one said anything and it wasn't until the next day that she confronted me with what i said.

i wanted to die of embarrassment. i've resolved myself to no longer speaking italian (i'm being sarcastic, don't worry, i'll still try). and never ever show myself to he and his friends (this one, i'm pretty serious with though!).
