Missing Italy. Thinking politics.

I am sitting at Soma, as I have been for a few hours now. I've been studying and I've made some major dents in my work load. Of course, I've been putting this off, and all the reading is due tomorrow. But at least I'm doing it.

Anyway, there are two men sitting across from me and they're practicing their Italian and listening to them talk makes me miss the language and the experience I had in Rome. It's such a beautiful way of speaking. I can understand bits and pieces but I can't put it all together. I wish I could.

I read this article for class. I think you should read it, too.
