Dovrei Studiare (I should be studying)

It's 12:12 am on the 23rd day of February 'In The Year of Our Lord' 2006, and am up at this ungodly hour writing this when I should be studying for an Italian language viva-voce. It was thanks to John Grisham's 'The Broker' that I enrolled for the diploma and 7 months on, all am comfortable with is "Come ti chiami? Mi chiamo Vivek". Our teacher Dr. Corrado Puchetti being the honourable man he is hasn't taught us any swear words, so by the American standards am not eligible for an Italian diploma(The American standard being you must be able to swear at an Italian). Although my fluency is limited but I can confidently ask you where are you from, what day is it today in Italian, never mind that I wouldn't be able to understand your reply. Now I don't want you all to start thinking of me as some sort of wastrel, so let me tell you that 50 students had enrolled, of whom only 15 lasted the whole 7 months. Now that's a testimony to my perseverance, is it not? One point worth noting here is that of the 17 odd girls who enrolled only 4 or 5 lasted the distance, so that's not a reason why I attended the classes.
I realise that I have probably wasted about 2 minutes of your time and what is infinitely worse 15 minutes of mine writing this totally useless piece of mediocre commentry. So folks I'll get back to infinitive verb forms and their conjugations.
Arrivederci (bye)
