Come va?

Va bene! Two of my roommates moved in and now life is so much better! Friends are the greatest invention in the world... even if we don't speak the same language. ;)
But, my Italian is getting better. I have perfected my introduction! (My name is Molly. I'm from LA. I'm here for 4 months to study italian, etc.) The problem is, I've gotten so good at it, the person will say, "Wow, you speak italian very well." and then continue at a rapid pace on some other topic. Let's just say they soon realize how little I know.
And for your peak into Italian culture: It's normal for each person to eat a whole pizza for dinner! How awesome is that?! It's true that their pizzas are smaller and much thinner, but still. Also, they normally eat it by folding each piece in half before putting it in their mouths.
