Some of my student's home mates

Let it snow

It's cold today...and things don't work very well. I'm finding it very difficult to write in this moment, I know that my english isn't good enough, but I have no time to study and improve it seriously. I wanted to make a beautiful blog, but I hardly ever visit it. I think I have no time, but I often pass my days actually doing nothing!I must do an exam on 12th March and I always think that I'll fail it. I can't study, my head and my heart are devoted to theater. I want to act, not to study! I'm tired of just studying, I must find a theater school immediately. Sometimes I think I'll go crazy here. And I miss my home a lot. I'd just like to be happy, to enjoy myself, to see people and stop being alone. I need to go out now, but there is nobody who can come with me. I don't want to be alone, it's too sad. University is not so great as I thought when I was at high school. I hope things will be better next days...

I can't sleep...

It's 23:55 p.m., and in these last five minutes of sunday I've decided to write something on the blog. Actually, when I decided to create the blog I wanted to write every evening, but it's not easy like I had thought. In fact, I'm always very tired, and I have to study a lot, because next friday I'll do my first exam!! I do what I can, hoping that writing on the blog is really useful. I should go to bed...I'm not going to the university tomorrow, because I have to go to a course of remix, I hope it will be interesting! However, it starts at 10:00 a.m, and I have to get up early because I'd like to take a shower before going. I didn't say that taking a shower is orrible here! I suppose water is not very clean...my hair is often dirtier than before when I wash it! :( Tomorrow evening I'm going to start a dance of the nineteenth class...it seems so cool! I think I'll love it! Well, it is really late now, I must go to bed. In the next few days I'll put on the blog some pictures to show better how is the life here! Good night...


GRAMMAR NOTES:
- capelli = hair
- udire = hear
- i capelli SONO = the hair IS
- corso di danza = dance class
- lavare i capelli = to wash the hair
- nei prossimi giorni = in the next few days

Let's start!!

I wrote all the things I had written before creating the blog, and now I'm ready to write new posts! I don't know if my english is actually improving thanks to this activity, but when I write on the blog I try to think in english and it's better than nothing. I've started to study a lot, because I have an exam on November 18th. I feel a bit anxious, because it's my first exam at university and it's very important for me. I have to go to bed now, because I'll wake up early tomorrow. Bye!

OCTOBER 25th

Today my principal thought is: "I NEED MONEY". I have realised that living alone isn't cheap. For the moment I'm not good enough at acting to hope I'll do it in the future as my job, but every theatral course is too expensive and I actually don't know what to do. I should work, but where could I look for a job? I don't have any experience, and everyone wants people with experience. I hope I'll find work in a shopping mall for the Christmas period. This evening I'm also worried about my boyfriend David: I've just spoken with him by mobile phone and he seemed to be...far, and a bit cold. I can't explain, he was just strange. I hope it's all ok...he is the most important people in my life. Well, I'll copy some notes now -.- see you tomorrow!

Second and third posts

I'm writing now the second and the third texts I wrote here when the blog didn't exist yet.

"October, 23rd,
I'm a bit thoughtful tonight. Sometime I believe I spend to much time thinking about the future, or simply thinking. For example, I'm writing for my blog which doesn't exist! I hope I'll have internet soon...I have an horrible feeling: I think I'm not doing enough for my future. I want to attend the workshop of the New York Film Academy in three years but I'm not improving my english. I want to become a good actress but I'm not attending any course of theatre. I'm not satisfied with my appearence but I'm not doing any sport. I'm doing nothing! I don't want to waste time in this way, I must do something, I must begin to do something. I don't believe in myself enough and I know it's wrong, but I hope I'll be able to do all I want in the better way that is possible. I'm very tired, because I have travelled all day to come back here after going at home last friday, so I'll go to bed now. I must try to think less about the future and more about the present. I'm sorry because I can't write now all my thoughts, but I'll do it soon. For the moment, good night!"

"October, 24th
Sometime it's so boring here. Well, actually I should do a lot of things, but I'm tired, bored and insicure about everything. I think I just have to get used to this new life, which is so different from my past life: everything is new, the school, the people, the house, and I have to get new habits, a new routine. The courses organized by CIMES - the department of music and drama of the university - are going to star next week, but now I don't know anything about them, yet. I hope they are free! In this period it is very cold here, and it isn't very pleasant to go out. It also often rains. I'm reading "Harry potter and the philosopher's stone" in english, hoping that it will improve my language, meanwhile I'm still looking for a course. It isn't easy to find a good course which isn't too expensive! I'll try to write something every evening, I can't write a lot because in the evening I'm always very tired, but I'll do all my best. Maybe it will be useful, anyway. I should copy some notes now, or I should start to read something to prepare the exam of Philosophy and Estetic of music. I'll do it in november and I haven't stardet to study, yet! However, it is a bit late; I'll just read some pages and then I'll sleep. Good night, my dear blog which doesn't exist." 

FIRST POST...MAYBE

(I wrote this post on saturday, 8th of october, at twenty past eight p.m., when I didn't have internet and I couldn't create the blog. I wanted to start writing, and so I decided to do that! I'm reporting now what I wrote that day)

Hello everybody!
I'm writing from the great city of Bologna. I came here five days ago, I started to attend the university and yesterday I finally arrived in my new house. It is the house of student called Battiferro. It's not so easy to describe this experience: it's amazing, of course, but it's also very shocking...I'm a bit scared and worried, because I'm far from my home, my family, my boyfriend, my friends, my pets...I miss all of them very much! I decided to create a blog and to write in english because of two reasons: first of all, I think it's a good way to keep a contact with all the people I love, because they'll read what I'm writing; secondly, I hope it will improve my english skill in writing. In fact, my english language will have to be PERFECT in three years, because when I take my degree I'll attend the 4-weeks workshop in acting for film organized by one of the most famous - and expensive - american school of cinema: the "New York Film Academy". I would like to attend this course in Paris, but I have read that there is this possibility also in Florence (if I won't be able to move to France). And so here I am, writing in the best english I can, hoping in the future...I don't know if it is possible to reach a perfect life, but I think we must try to do it with all our forces. I try to think that "someday my prince will come" (to quote a famous song from "Snow White" by Disney), and I'll live with the boy I love, we will have a beautiful house, a lot of dogs and other animals and - why not? - some children...and I try to think that someday I'll have the job of my dreams. Will all these things be possible?
