Best friends to whom I've owed a phone call for the last 3 weeks and have to make it wait again : 1. I'm so sorry.

I chose all this and I wouldn't have it any other way...but I'm pissed about it right now. I'm really madder at my Italian teacher for what she's doing to the rest of the class than for what she's doing to me...these poor girls don't even know what the fuck a demonstrative pronoun is, and she's telling them they have to be able to use it in conversation by 1pm tomorrow! At least I actually knew some of these things coming into the class (once again, I supplicate to whatever insane urge compelled me to take so much Latin, cause it's saving my ass right now).
