I'm still allive....

Wow, it's been a lot of time since I last wrote here.... well so many things also have changed!!

I'm now in my last year of grad school, and I'll (hopefully) graduate in December 2010 after I come back home from Japan... yes because I'm here again!! ^^

It's probably the biggest news to tell right now: I've been chosen as the exchange student for the university of Milan to spend a year in Kyoto studying Japanese at our partner university, Doshisha Daigaku of Kyoto: I've been here actually for 3 weeks, barely started classes and still not entirely used to living in Japan on my own.. the first few days were especially tough, I kept thinking "what the hell am I doing here, what have I come here for??", I didn't even had a place to stay because there were problems with the dormitory the uni provided for me, so I was really depressed; but then classes started, also two of my friends are here at the same university (as private students) and they're a great help, I found a very nice apartment with 3 other girls (and we only speak Japanese XD) so I'm starting to get used... now I just need to buy a cell phone!!

Also, Monica, Gaia and Valeria are here in Japan, in Osaka, so we see each other every week so it's getting better and better!! Last Saturday I went to Osaka and we went to Johnny's shop (and the other "illegal" shops XDD) and I bought loads of pictures of Kanjani 8 (yes, I'm currently in love with them, especially Maru^^), so I'm quite happy!!! XDD

Of course, I'm still missing my family and my home, because I'd have never tought I'd miss them so much, and therefore living here all by myself was kind of a shock at first, but it's getting better and better, so I'm really hopeful that this wonderful opportunity will become a great experience, not only academically but also as a part of growing up and becoming a better person...

I don't really know what I'll be doing when I go back home and after graduating, and right now I don't really want to think about it: I'm learning to think about the present and live it to the fullest, enjoy life and frienship and study and get better at Japanese XDDD

And I want to go to a Kanjani's concert!!!!!!!!!!!
