Ciao, Kiss-Kiss
Well lets see my last weeks plans fell through completely because I was so tired from practice and our ball game that I didn’t end up going anywhere and I got pretty sick. So I can no longer blameOhio Rimini Rimini
I started working at the school this week. Where I go and teach softball to the little Italian kids during their P.E. class. It is quite hilarious but definitely a challenge trying to control a bunch of 8 year olds when you can't speak their language. Keep in mind baseball/softball isn’t popular over here. So these kids don’t even know how to play (they didn’t know they had to run after they hit the ball, they're standing 3 feet away from the hitter not understanding they were going to get hit in the face, and were just pegging each other instead of throwing to the actual base-No this is not dodge ball... it was a disaster!) And I found out the boys and girls play on the same team till they’re 13 so the boys are forced to play softball till they are old enough to play baseball, Bizarre. Leah you'll enjoy this story. I had this adorable fat boy come up to me, bow, then proceed to tell me he was Chinese but he could speak English. "Your shirt is blue." (It was red) Haha he was the cutest. They were so funny. And I fell in love with this tiny Italian boy who introduced himself as Francesco. I'll be sure to bring my camera next time and take pictures!
As far as training goes- my pitching practice happens before our actual practice and most of you know I'm not much of a utility player so when I'm not pitching I don't have anything else to do. They put me in right field for like a day and realized that I'm not an outfielder- I'm slow and a poor judge of direction with fly balls. My coach is a very straight-forward honest person so he told me to just go sit down because I looked awful, lol, thanks coach. But I may ask to start hitting! I know kind of crazy after taking 5 years off but at least I wouldn't be completely useless at practice anymore. We shall see.
And not much of an update on the Victoria Secret bod ... I'm still eating like a fat kid :-/ can't help myself, everything taste so good here! But I am super excited that my parents and Leah have both confirmed their trips over hopefully by then my Italian will be fluent and I'll be able to order off the menu for us. Right now I am hopeless when it comes to eating out I can barely manage to get ice cream from the gelato shop next door. Yeeks. Leah see if your new big girl budget allows you to purchase a ticket for Charles (he's about the same weight as a small toddler).
Well I was going to upload a very funny video of my roommates last Friday we had an interesting "girls night". The Americans were teaching the Italians 1. The soldier boy 2. How to dougie and then they decided to show me their Beyonce skills with Single Ladies. It was horrible but quite hilarious. They knew Beyonce but didn’t have a clue what a dougie was. Needless to say the softball girls over here aren’t winning any Jock Jams competitions either! Hopefully I can figure out how to upload the videos because they need to be shared. It would be a youtube sensation I'm sure. Alright check in soon. Hugs & Kisses form Italia!
