Laptop!

I received the laptop mom and dad sent me, after much hassel!  I could see, through tracking it, that it was sitting in customs in Milan.  Finally a week and a half later I received a form I needed to fill out to get the package.  Of course the entire form was in Italian, so the secretary of the elementary school and myself worked together to fill it out.  That is where we ran into more problems.. the form wanted information on me like my Italian Social Security number, and things that I do not have.  We tried calling their office and there was never any answer (after doing some research we learned this is not uncommon).  Finally we just filled out what we could and hoped for the best.  And two days later I was staying after school to use the laptops and get work done and they called my room to tell me my package was in the one office!! Needless to say I was incredibly excited!  I actually ran next door where another student teacher was working, burst in her room with a huge smile on my face and yelled, "GUESS WHAT I'M GOING TO THE VILLA TO PICK UP!!!"  (The villa is a building in the middle of our campus where the middle school classes are held and many offices are)  She immediately picked up the keys to her room and said "I'm going with you!"  I kept telling the woman as we opened the package to make sure everything was okay that she made my day!!
