La Carta Verde!

We got a green card!!! If we get another one next apartment visit, we might get a free pizza! Pizza here is delicious, and the free part makes it about ten times better. Julie's mom bought us pastries and chocolate to celebrate. Another part of our celebration involved doing 0 dishes that night. We made a huge mess all over the kitchen and table, and no one felt any guilt about it. After our lovely dinner party the 4 roommates went to this thing called Tandem; its a program set up so that Americans and Italians can talk in a casual setting. So we basically sat in small groups, and we would talk in English for a little bit and then talk in Italian next, and back and forth for a little more than an hour. It was a ton of fun, and one of the Italians I talked to is actually in one of my classes. I made a friend!
