Today was my last day of teaching, my last day in Terlano, and my last day in this beautiful region of Italy. I have about a week left before my plane heads back to the States so I thought I would check out some of the other beautiful, amazing places Italy has to offer.
But before I go on about the details of what's to come, I think it would be apt to reflect a bit on what a large majority of my summer has be focused on. Teaching English to a 13 year old boy was great. We played a lot of games. There were more games of speed than I can count, among other card games, various writing games, and a whole lot of "20 questions" and "Would you rather...". We watched an entire season of the Simpsons, in English, along with several other movies. It takes a lot of variety to keep a boy who's 13 interested in learning all summer long. Don't get me wrong, there were days where I couldn't do anything to make him sit still and listen, but overall I think it went very well.
And I couldn't have asked for more from the entire Seppi family. They were great hosts.
Next, I'm off to Venice for a few days and then Cinque Terre for a few. I'm thrilled to have the chance to see these pictaresque cities are just a beautiful in person. I'm not going to be using my laptop for the next week, but I'll be sure to post pictures and stories as soon as I can, so sit tight.
One other very exciting piece of news: I recently got nominated for the Peace Corp!!! Basically what that means is that they found a place for me to go and a job for me to do, but can't tell me too many details because nobody's quite sure when I'll be invited to go do some great things. But its the next step in a potential next adventure. I'm not sure about the timeline for anything, but I'll be sure to keep everyone up to date. Exciting, right?!
Ciao!
