Dear Reader(s)
Lots to tell since my last post. This weekend we went to Bologna for a disco and got to bed (in Modena) at 6am - it was a really good night and Christina and I bumped into our Durham friend Catherine MacLachlan (who's also from Jersey) who's doing Erasmus in Bologna - what are the chances?!
On Sunday I went to mass in the Duomo at 6pm and loved it, it was a really peaceful hour in my week to sit and reflect on my thoughts and think of my family and friends, I will be going regularly for sure. I also went to the train station and bought all of the train tickets that Matt and I will need when he comes (in 22 days time!) to see me, pleased about THAT.
The rest of this week so far has seen me in lectures, reading my papers and hanging out with Christina.
Professoressa O'Connell is the title of today's blog because I am now an English teacher. The Erasmus coordinator sent out an email to all English students asking if anyone would like to teach Signora Setti's daughter English, and I got the gig. Our first lesson was today and Sofia (my student) is really lovely; she's enthusiastic and bright as a button, she's very competent with her English already, but I am helping with grammar and pronunciation. We got on really well and I got paid, cash-in-hand, as I said good bye.
A presto....
