Life in Turin has been unexpectedly lazy. I mean in terms of doing serious work. Throughout the 2+ months I've been here I feel like maccarone's prophesy is coming true. Really, I've been minding the most unimportant, taken for granted, matters since I'm here, such as trying to figure out what tutors are saying, what i should eat later for lunch, whether there's enough toilet paper in the house....I feel so ...domesticated. Of course then I try to make myself feel more accomplished by thinking about the non-academic stuff that I'll done here such as paying the rents, pleading for my learning agreement and even little things like stepping into a shop and saying "ciao" to the shopkeeper, all these in an inglese italiano or more frankly, an italiano inglese accent. Many times I feel ignored, like not been treated seriously, especially when I'm asking for some information from people I don't know. I'd always wonder if there's something wrong physically with me? Or that I simply look like an idiot such that it's not worth answering my question. Anyways....it's always difficult to communicate with people who look so different from me.
