Back from Barcelona

I'm back home. I had an amazing time with my friends. The weather was pretty much rainy but it wasn't cold and we also had a great sunny day that we spent at the seaside. Time flew by... still can't believe a week is gone like this. I uploaded some pics on facebook if you wanna see them.

Tomorrow we're going back to school and the last 4 months of school are starting. I'm staying strong and I'll give my best for the final exams we have in June/July. That's all for now, see you all soon with a new update.

Love, Rita

Leaving again

Just wanted to let you all know I will be back in a week. I'm going to Barcelona, Spain for the school break with two friends of mine. The plane leaves at 9am but we have to be there 3 hours earlier! I should better go to bed and rest, see you all again in a week.

ON MY WAY TO BARCELONA...

Short post

It's been a while since my last post but everything is fine, just really busy studying. Not much has happened in the past few weeks that's why I didn't update the blog. I have 2 more weeks of school and then a whole week of school break. Looking so forward to that! I'm really tired now and I need to sleep. I'll update as soon as something new comes up.

Love, Rita

Home sweet home

I'm back. I came back yesterday around 9pm, but I was really exhausted that I thought of writing something today. I had a great week, we had a lot of fun and of course it seems yesterday I was packing my things to leave. Friday night we went playing at the Casino, it was so much fun! We played a couple of slots and we were pretty lucky because we won something, not much but still really cool! I never played before so it was exciting.

I am now getting ready to go back to school. It's been a while because I had an 'extra' week of holiday since I had flu just before Christmas holidays and had to stay at home, so I missed a bit. I have to study a lot, really a lot and I almost don't know where to start. I know I have to start studying a lot more because the final exams are coming closer and I want to give my best, and what I'm doing is not even close to my best. So, I'll make sure to work hard during the next 5 months and finally finish high school.

This is it for today. I just finished uploading some pics on facebook if you wanna check them out.

Love,
Rita

Another year has gone by...

Happy new year everyone!

I'd like to wish everyone a happy new year. I'm still in Montreux with Eleonora and we're going back to Italy on Saturday, time went by so fast. We're having a great time. Last night we went out on the lake a opened a bottle of champagne in front of the lake, so great! I drank a little too much according to Ele because I was laughing all the time. Well it's now lunch time and we have to go. I'll write something again when I get back home.

Love, Rita

Merry Christmas

I'd like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas! I hope it's a great one. We had to spend the day with the relatives but unfortunately my mom has flu so we're stuck at home, just my parents and I. We had a great lunch and just enjoying the day together though. I told you I would be writing about all that's happened in 2008 so here you go. Honestly, I wanna forget about this terrible year because so many sad things happened, starting with Shania & Mutt splitting up after 14 years of marriage and ending with my uncle who had to be operated because they suspected a cancer. The schoolyear went great though and the summer was a good one. I finally met again with Esther and I'm so happy about that, she's a special girl. I was able to spend a week with my friend Eleonora in my house in Abruzzo and we had a great time. I also got through a difficult time since I had some health problems because of stress. These were the main things but of course there have been so many little things in between.
So, after thinking again about this year I so hope next year will be better and happier.

I bet this was my last post for this year since I'll post again on the 1st of January. I'm leaving for Switzerland on Saturday morning and I'll write something from there for the new year.

Love, Rita

Getting excited

It's almost time, 4 days left and Santa Claus is coming to town! I'm such a little kid because I'm getting really excited and I'm already thinking of spending the day with my whole family. Even though we all live in the same city we don't get to see eachothers very often because of course we're all so busy working, so gotta look forward to big holidays like this to spend some quality time together. I've always loved Christmas time, it makes me feel so happy but at the same time a bit sad because I start thinking about all the good and bad things that happened during the year. I think I'll share with you what's happened to me during this whole year on the next entry.

I still haven't asked anything for Christmas and I won't even ask because I just got so many wonderful things for my birthday that I really feel grateful and satisfied with everything! I know one of my aunties is gonna give me a pretty great gift because I haven't seen her on my birthday and she said she would buy me something for Christmas that I've wanted for a long time, excited to see what that is even though I have an idea ;]

Love, Rita

On holiday

I am now officially on holiday until the 6th of January. I've been on holiday for four days already since I just had flu and I had to stay at home. I'm feeling a bit sad and disappointed now because I had to sing today and I was looking so forward to that, but unfortunately my voice is not back properly and I just can't sing. They all told me not to worry about it and to think about getting better but deep inside I'm a bit sad because I love singing and it's so much fun spending time with all my 'music friends'.

Anyway, there are so many things to look forward to now that I just can't get down! On Monday I'm going out with my auntie and we're going shopping for Christmas, then on Tuesday I'm going out for a movie and for lunch with my best friend since yesterday she turned 18 but I wasn't able to spend the day with her. On Christmas day we're going out for lunch together with our relatives and the day after we're staying at home and I'll prepare my luggage.
That's all for now, wish you all a great day and I'll try and take some pics during the week to show you Rome during Christmas time.

Love, Rita

Finally updating

It's been a while since my last update, and I know I may sound silly but I've been really busy! I'm getting so ready for Christmas time and I can't wait to go to Switzerland with Eleonora, looking so forward to that. There's not much going on in my life lately. I had and still have a very bad cold and probably I won't be able to sing on Friday for the Christmas concert we have at school. I'm so sorry about that but my voice is still not coming back so I guess I have no choice.

I still don't know what I'm gonna do on Christmas but I for sure will be with my relatives and then I'll get ready to leave. Next week I'm going shopping with my best friend, still have to buy some gifts hehe. That's all for now, I'll write soon again, I promise.

Love, Rita

Ehm... sorry

Have been really really busy! I now am having a week off so I thought of letting you know what's happened in the past few weeks. I had a great birthday and got so many great gifts! I have been studying a lot and now I'm enjoying this week off even though I have to study... but at least I can sleep in the morning ;)

Plus, I'm getting really excited because 2009 is getting near! I can't wait for Christmas, it's the best time of the year IMO.

Love, Rita

Thank you

Very short post to say..

THANKS to all of you for all the sweet birthday wishes. I feel so lucky to know these people, they really made my day. I'm gonna have a party with my friends tonight and I will post everything tomorrow.

Love, Rita

Time is flying

I can't believe how time is flying, it's really going by so fast. We already are in middle-october and there's not much left till Christmas holidays, only 2 more months. Last week I booked my holidays, I'm gonna spend Christmas with my relatives in my house in the mountains and on the 27th I'm going to Montreux for a week with my friend Eleonora. I can't wait!

There's also another trip to look forward to, and that's the school trip on the 24th of november. After weeks of thinking about it we decided to go to Madrid. It must be a great place and we are sure gonna have a lot of fun.

Love, Rita

Feeling better

Wanted to let you know that I'm now feeling better. I spent 2 days at home because I also had a bit of flu but now I'm back to school. Time is going by so fast, a month of school is gone already... and I still don't feel like I started school again! I still find it very difficult to concentrate and not think about other things, but that's me... I always start studying seriosly by November... I need those first few months to get serious about it and really focus on it.
I'll write something again in the weekend. I wanna wish you all a great week.

Love, Rita

Busy, busy & busy!

I knew it... as soon as October arrives I catch a cold, I hate it! I had to stay at home today because I also had a bit flu, but nothing serious. Right now I'm taking a small break from my french litterature and I thought of updating you on a few things that will happen this week. Tomorrow it will be a busy day, in the afternoon I'll go get a new pair of high-heeled shoes with a friend of mine and then later I have a check-up. During the weekend I'll start my guitar lessons again and on Sunday I have a 18th birthday party... pretty busy! =]

Love, Rita

Just wanted to say

Short post just to say that everything is good. This week has been a good one, on wednesday we had a very important day at school since we had to welcome the first class of high school. While we were reading our speech, my mind went back to four years ago when I just began high school. I remember being so excited and so ready to see what life would be like growing up. I thought five years was a long time, but they flew by, and now here I am reaching one of the most important moments in everyone's life.

Love, Rita

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
