My future

I know, it's 9.33 am and I should be at school right now, but this morning I wasn't feeling very well so I decided to stay at home. I'm enjoying my day and keeping busy with homework and TV. Since I have some spare time, I thought it was a good idea to surf the net and start looking out for universities. Until an hour ago I didn't have a clue on where to go, now I do... music. I found a university here in Rome called 'Università della musica' where I can study professionaly and attend also some interesting courses.

They teach you so many amazing things, the history of music, how to interpret lyrics, the sound, how to work in a recording studio and so on. I almost got tears in my eyes when I found this because it's exactly what I'm looking for. It also gives you the chance of taking part in major events to start practicing. Many of you may think it's nothing serious and something you would do just for fun, but you can't even imagine how much study there is behind it and how much it means to me. I'm planning on going there in the next month to get further information about it. I'll let you know about it!

There's also something else I wanted to share with you. We finally decided where we're going for the school trip... we're going to Prague! We still have to decide when and what to do once we're there but it sounds amazing, it must be a beautiful city. It's not even that far, only a 2 hours flight.

Love,
Rita

Autumn is here

I love this season... it's actually my fav season of the year, because of the beautiful landscapes, the colors of the trees and so on. I don't like the cold weather so actually this is the only thing I don't like about it. Next weekend I'm planning to go with a friend of mine to a beautiful park here in Rome called 'Villa Borghese'. I wanna take some pics of it with the autumn colors.

I'm actually pretty busy with school and I find the time to do what I enjoy only during the weekend. If I think about how many months I still have in front of me I get down but at the same time I know they will fly by and soon I'll be out of school. I'm already thinking about my life once I'm done and I don't know what to do yet. My parents will go live in our house in the mountains for most of the year and I think I'll stay in Rome, maybe living with friends and visit them every once in a while. After all we're not far from eachother.

I do wanna think about my future though... that's why next month I'll start looking for universities and see what I like the most. I wanna be sure about what I choose because I don't wanna regret it when it's all done.

Love,
Rita

- First week

The first week of school is gone and it's been a difficult one. Starting studying again was not easy and stay concentrated was even harder. I did my best and I hope the following weeks will be easier. I'm quite excited today because I finally decided what color my car will be. Here's a pic of it. I can't wait... even though I still have to wait 90 more days before I get it!

Summer is gone I'd say... it's actually pretty cold here, only 15°C during the day. I'm getting ready to wear again my coat. I have to go now, I'll update soon.

Love,
Rita

- Back to school

Today I started my last year of high school and it felt so great! When I arrived to school everyone was looking at me and my friends because we're now the oldest people there. We had only 3 hours of lesson today and tomorrow only 4 hours... that's because it is still so hot over here! I had to do some homework already so I totally got back to the old life...

But today I'm really happy because a friend of mine came to me during the break and gave me two bottles of Shania Starlight! He went to New York during the summer and since he knows I'm a huge Shania fan he bought them as a present from there. I was sooo happy because I already have the first one and I really wanted to have this one, too. I took a
pic of it if you wanna see it ;)

At school we're already talking about the trip we're gonna have this winter... and there are so many different ideas! Some people wanna go to Paris, others wanna go to Athens and so on... and it is so difficult to choose a place that can be okay for everyone! Plus, being the oldest we are the ones who decide where the school is going this year and we really don't know what to choose.

Love,
Rita

- Summer is gone

What a great time I had today at the seaside. The weather was really hot, no clouds and the water was really nice and warm. I never wanted this day to end. Before going to the seaside in the morning I went looking for my car and I finally chose which one I want. It's a Toyota Aygo Sound and it looks really nice. Next week I'm gonna pay for it and in a month I'll have my own car! It feels so great, a brand new car for me only lol

Tomorrow I'm going out with a friend of mine. We're going out for lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe and then we're gonna have a walk around Rome. We'll really enjoy our day together because we have only 2 more days off. I have a double feeling. I feel like I'm totally ready to start but at the same time I'm not, maybe because I'm lazy when it comes to school...

Well anyway, I will keep you guys updated and soon I'll post some pics I took today and the pics I'll take tomorrow.

Love,
Rita

- Tough decision

My birthday is in two months and this year I want to get me a new camera. The one I have is 3 years old but I'll give that to my dad and get a new for me. I don't know what to get, because I want something not too expensive but that makes beautiful pictures, especially on concert. I looked around and asked some friends and there's a camera that's not expensive, really good and that I really like. It is a 'Sony Cyber-Shot DSC W55'. It looks really cute, too as I'm planning to get the pink one. During the next week I'll go ask around about it and if I get good reviews, well this is it.

I can't spend too much on a camera because I'm starting to save up money, but still I wanna get a good one. If you're all wondering what camera I'm talking about, well here and here you can find two pictures of it. Now I have to go, gonna take a quick shower and then I'm gonna get ready to see Italy vs. Cyprus.

Love,
Rita

- Looking forward to

Well I don't know if you like this new layout but I do lol! It just needed a little change because the previous one wasn't really what I wanted. I don't have many news, except for the fact that I'm enjoying my last week off and trying not to think too much about how difficult this year will be. I sound like I'm complaining but honestly, I'm not. I'm quite excited to start the schoolyear and that's for two reasons. The year that is coming is just full of great things, I'm gonna get a car, I'm gonna travel to Canada, I'm gonna join a band and I'll start working, too. I really feel like I'm not a child anymore and it's such a great/sad feeling. The other reason... well Shania is coming back, do I have to say more?

Tomorrow I'm gonna have lunch with my auntie and then we're gonna spend the rest of the afternoon having long walks around Rome. I still have to get the books for the year so I guess I'll have a stop at the bookshop to see if they're here already. I have to go now, I have to study a bit. Feel free to comment about this new layout and which one you like the most!

Love,
Rita

- September is here

Unbelievable how time flies! Today it's the first day of September and I have 11 days left until school starts again. Tomorrow I'm going to the seaside with some friends, hopefully it will be sunny. These days I can't stop thinking about Canada, I really wanna go there! I'm planning to go next summer, I wanna go to Toronto and then a few days in Timmins for the fan con. In 2 months I'm gonna have (finally) my passport so I can travel all around the world!

That's all for now, I'm gonna take some pics at the seaside tomorrow if I don't forget to bring my camera with me.

Love,
Rita
