Forli and Ohio articles

Forli Today wrote an article recapping our game against Parma last Saturday and my picture is in the article and I am mentioned a few times. Also, The Post from Ohio University wrote an article about me! Yay! An article in English!! But before I give the links to these articles here are four quick things:

1. I am almost done with the second level of my Italian Rosetta Stone! I still think it is helpful for me to study it throughout the week but I unfortunately only bought the first two levels. After talking with my parents, we decided that my best option is to purchase a 3 month all access to all 5 Rosetta Stone levels online. My internet works very well in my apartment and 3 months from now will put me into summer and hopefully I won't need to be studying it as much anyway!

2. I changed my phone to Italian. Elda convinced me that it would be good for me. So for the past few weeks I have had the 24 hour time and all my apps written in Italian! It hasn't caused me many problems yet because I've had my phone for long enough that I know how to do the basics whether it's written in English or Italian.

3. They don't have sunflower seeds here in Italy! But the baseball and softball players love them. So I have had specific requests from people to let anyone know who is coming out to visit me to bring as many bags of sunflower seeds as possible so they can stock up!

4. First home games against Caserta this Saturday!

My dad emailed me this article and here is what Scotty G had to say (in case you didn't get enough of him in my last blog with all of his questions): Just so you know, this translation is much worse than the other translated article you sent us. Guess it's harder to translate softball terminology. Some parts make as much sense in the broken English as they do in Italian. But there are some parts in it that say "Lauren Gellerman has impressed the audience in the role of catcher..." and "The action continues ... at home, where the other new purchase, Gellerman, completes the double play ... it is the turning point of the game ..." Haha ... apparently you're a purchase.
