Enjoying Spring Break

I'm back at my hometown for the spring break and enjoying the days with my family. Though, it's going to be a bit dull this coming week, since my sister and mom are going back to school.

I'm hoping that it will not rain today, so that we can transplant the yellow hibiscus and the marigolds my parents bought yesterday, Saturday. They've done a great change to the backyard. The pine tree, well it's some sort of an evergreen tree, was finally transplanted in the backyard. This backyard had its ups and downs throughout the years, but this year that fluctuation is coming to a halt. It's weed free and better than before. All it needs is a little more caring along with helping the new plants to adapt to these new grounds and it's bound to be a beautiful backyard. I really believe that we should do more family home projects...I enjoy them. Knowing that my family and I are having fun together, whether it be playing a game of blokus, scrabble, or transforming a bedroom into an entertainment room, really brings out the true family spirit.

My mom and sister had their break this week and mine is just starting...well at least I'm back at home knowing that "i miei genetori e la mia sorellina" are doing fine.

I also wanted to post these interesting videos I found about Italian gestures. I'm taking ITL 506 at UT Austin and wanted to use a different type of learning resource, so I decided to view some Italian videos.

When I viewed this video I was surprised to know that it was a UT Austin study abroad program video.




I also found these two videos interesting
