Cinque di Maggio So I decided on Hopkins, which in common parlance means 'Italy.' I then wrestled with myself for a few days after, just to get all the insecurity out. I think it's just about gone. Feels good. Have started picking up bits of Italian; am amused to find the odd pairing of Germania 'Germany' with tedesco 'German.' I guess it's about as reasonable as our 'Holland/Dutch' conflation. I've also figured out that arrivederci is based on rivedere 'to see again.' It's kind of cute. In other news, one of my roommates moved out on Friday, taking with her the cable and DSL (and a small piece of my heart). I am adjusting fairly well to my new, technologically-backward life. It's for the best, I guess. More time to clean...and exercise...and read...and go out and do stuff...and stuff...
