I am officially back in school! I enrolled yesterday in an Italian language course at the Universita' degli Studi di Napoli and begin classes tomorrow! Over the next four weeks, I will have 12 hours of Italian instruction per week at a university. By the beginning of April, I hope to have a much better understanding of the Italian language and a university certificate recognizing completion of my first Italian course. Trilingualism, I am on my way!
Although I realize it may be challenging at times, I am looking forward to not only improving my Italian but also to "settling in" a bit more here. For the past 3 weeks, I have felt more like a visitor than resident since I cannot communicate well with my fellow Neapolitans and have had no schedule of things to do. For those of you who know me well, you know that I operate best when I have a slightly more structured schedule. Granted, I don't want anything too stressful -- this is supposed to be a somewhat relaxed time for me to reflect and plan my future a little better, but I think having a littl more of a routine will be positive. It is time to really start living here.

Wow! I didn't even know that you were moving to Italy! Incredidible; although, I am not really surprised!
It is great to hear that you are doing well, and I am already secretly planning to visit you in the back of my mind should you decide to stay there!
Keep us posted, you are certainly an inspiration to many of us.
Hey there,
Sounds like the trip is going well. Love keeping up with you on the blog.
