There is a library here at Villa Morghen, but that is not saying much. It is primarily an Italian library and that’s the issue I’m really having. There are about 16 books in English here and about 3 that I would actually consider reading under normal circumstances. The situation here is a bit dire, though, so I may be forced into the literary equivalent of Santiago eating raw fish on his boat and read the fifth Harry Potter book completely out of context. Times and hard, ladies and gentlemen, and sometimes hard times call for drastic measures.
I assume that it will be hard to transition back to standard, comfortable life in the USA when my time abroad is over. So, to help me get psyched about the Kansas January and term papers that await me in the spring I am starting a list of things I am looking forward to Stateside. Look for more “Things I am Most Looking Forward to About the USA,” or “TIAMLFTA the USA” (pronounced “tee-am-left-a”) for short, in the weeks and months to come!
