smaz's long adventure: part 1 - in my house in sardinia, there's a maid

in my house in sardinia, there's a maid
her name is margarita or mhargarita or margharita or something but anyway she's not full time but she does everything a maid does and she cooked me lunch the other day
also she was there during our skype call the other day ru and joel

also I saw a comedy in italian yesterday at the theatre
it was very good
I forgot it was even in italian after a certain point

so I think my italian is improving much here

tomorrow i go have lunch with a bunch of girls after school (...on saturday) and then i go to a 'festa di leva' or levi idk but it comes from the same root as the word 'levy' in english, ie conscripting soldiers. it's not an italian thing it's a sardinian thing and it started out as a way to celebrate everyone's 18th birthdays before they were shipped off to go to the war but the war ended a long time ago and so they just got all the 'compleete' (com-ple-e-te) or whatever the word is which means 'born in the same year' to have a party for when they turn 18.

I know a little bit of sardinian, (but the spelling is wrong) the word for water is either 'ebba' or 'abba', the word for 'come with me' = 'aiu' [vieni in italian] the word for yes is 'eiya' and the word for axe (as in to cut something down, not axe a question) is 'istrale', and you say it whenever someone sneezes and the connotation is sort of like, "off with your head" but its a bigger thing here and its incredibly offensive. idk

i bought a game on steam called 'the binding of isaac' and the price was in euros.

cafes are small and what the fuck is a bidet i still don't get it.

all my italian friends... or at least classmates, idk if I'd call em friends yet but it's a week in, post a LOT on facebook. my class is 4f and they are pretty much the 'fuckups' of the school (jn the sense that rules don't apply, not like they are retarded or anything), it's really cool. two of the other exchange students in the school [from turkey and hong kong] when i met them were like, "which class are you in?" and I was all, "4F" and they laughed and were like, "that's hilarious". today we had 2 hours of the worst teacher, sra. campus, cause one was away and so we skipped out the first basically hour and a half by going to a cafe or something. it's a real interesting class to put an exhcange student in but aparently it's because they play a lot of music. all the teachers they dont like (theres campus who 'teaches' english and 2 who teach philosophy/history/social sciences) they just don't do shit for and it's hilarious. also campus can't speak english properly and pronounced 'rag' as 'wreck' and 'taught' the class today about "from rags to riches" and all I could think was "from rags to riches niggas I ain't dumb I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me" which isn't actually the line but still I thought it exactly like that. and yeah her english is so slow it's hilarious and theres this one english teacher who's really cool sr. marron or marronne or maronne or something but he taught the class for 4 years prior to this one, and he's the one who chose 4f for me. and he can actually speak english so.
i'll maybe tell you about the actual (awesome~) classmates some other time though.

you know what kinda sucks though... my 'new kid' shininess thing is rubbing off a bit. also I haven't slept well since I got here, I wake up like 3 times in the night from jetlag maybe and my eyes still have bags no matter how much water I drink... is that related? idk.

yall should get skype mofos so we can talk and shit. (im lucky i dont swear in italian yet but i make up for it in english) although it's not always so convenient for me to talk in the lounge room and stuff so maybe we should im. but do it over skype, so there's also the possibility of speak/webcam/whatever.

and with that its 10:30pm and imma go bed cause I NEEED sleep badly. also erryone else in the house is asleep so.. I'll continue this and put like the 'sardegna' tag on it at the bottom so and title it 'smaz's long adventure' so maybe in the future I/you/we can look back and go 'oh, that's how smaz's adventure  was, in sardinia.'

smaz out
