Language Pledge

So i've been breaking the language pledge, obviously, when I write in my blog, go on facebook, la la la, etc. Today I had a talk with two professors about how classes are going because I'm feeling so behind. I realized, after talking to them, that maybe I should take the language pledge more seriously and stop thinking in english. I tried really hard when I got here and there was a brief adjustment period, before I just got really impatient and felt like I couldn't express myself in italian and I just started talking to my friends in english, via the web. 

I think I have to try to stop a bit more seriously, one more time. I have midterms this week and tons of projects to start in the next week, and if I don't stop spending time in the english language, i'll never be able to finish all this stuff in italian. So my point is, I've deactivated my facebook account temporarily, I'm going to try to stop using chat functions (aim, facebook etc) and probly won't respond to email as much. Just a reinforcement of the language pledge again, i guess, but this time I'm actually going to try to follow it. 

Okay, ciao for now
