Dreaming of studying: Italy

Taking a conversational Italian class sounds fun in theory. Odd thing is that I am for some reason mentally challenged when it comes to learning numbers past 100 and telling time in military style. The instructor wants us really to learn this. So here I am at a stalemate. Class in 1.5 hours. I try to studio but instead start perusing Flickr for photos Italia:

I'm figuring I can bomb the test, feel the hot rush of shame, and move on in hopes that I'll learn more important things after yet another epic fail. No mi piace quiz.

We don't go to Italy until Summer 2011. I'll get it by then....maybe.
