@Update 4 - May and June, many events plus exams

Good morning, or as they say in Australia ''G'day !''

I'm not in Australia right now, just saying ! 

More than a month has passed since when I published something. 

May is one of the busiest month of my year; the lessons' end coincides with the medieval festival in my city (that we won this year, for the 3rd consecutive time) and many other local events. For example, this weekend there's going to be ''Cantine Aperte'' (Open Wineries): you pay something like 10euros for the transport, usually a small bus, so that you're completely sure that the driver (who's not one of your friends) won't surely get drunk. Than, when you arrive, you need to pay 5euro for the glass of the even, that you can refill as many times as you please, throughout the day. Unluckily, this same weekend, there's going to be the election of the new region's president. I was selected to work at the polling station, where I'll spend Saturday afternoon and the whole Sunday...obviously sober ahah.

At the beginning of June there's the first part of the summer exam session, than every school's theater goups is going to performa  certain play, every sports club will perform a final exhibition and so on. I'll try to take part to as many events as possible, but in the meantime, I'll have to study. 

There are so many things to write about that I lost count and that I didn't really wanted to describe that much. I preferred to live the moment, enjoy the experience and not constantly think about pictures to upload on the blog to show you, and other things. I realized that I enjoy writing in order to create a sort of journal, something that I'll update whenever I have something that is truly worth describing. 

I said everything and nothing in this post, hopefully I'll soon update, but I'm not sure. Living summer as it comes :) Have a nice weekend !

Back from Gallipoli !

HeyHey

How are you guys doing? I hope everything's fine and that you're all enjoying summer as much as you can ! As I probably wrote on my last blog post, I say probably because I haven't been around for more than a week and I can't remember, I was on vacation in the south of Italy for 10 days with some friends.

We had a small but cute apartment in Baia Verde, the beach-party side of Gallipoli, an amazing city!
We had the average vacation you can expect from 7 people that are finally done with high school and exams! We partied almost every night, we went in discos, we danced on the beach...we had a great life!

Saying this I'm basically confessing that I didn't had my camera with me the whole time, I took picture with my iPhone and the ones I took with my Canon, that I'm going to post here, are from the ancient part of Gallipoli, the center of the city that is absolutely stunning and that we visited with calm during the last two days.
If you want to check the ''party picture'', I'll leave my friends' instagram accounts and mine below.

The kind of apartment where we stayed during the week

This little boy spent a couple of days at our place, and we called it Prajo (as the disco ''Praja'' where we often went)

Al little bit devastated and without make up

A typical dessert in Gallipoli, the Spumone

Typical bread, called Puccia. Inside you could add everything (I went for tomato, mozzarella, tuna and potatoes salad) 

What about your vacations this year? Would you ever consider Gallipoli as a place where to spend your holidays? :)

Drive license and books - Update #1

HeyHey

This is a really quick update. And when I say quick, this time i'm not going to write the usual 50.000 words blog post. 

Sorry I haven't been writing much, I've been very busy with school and summer is so close that I may start crying thinking that until the 10th of July (or something like this) I'll be able with my final exams.

Lately I've been enjoying reading, a lot! In particular, I finally decided, thanks to a friend of mine that kindly borrowed me this book, to start reading one of those books that you've heard about many many times but that you've never seriously consider as something to read. And I'm talking about John Green's ''The fault in our stars''. I'm reading it in English, and it's so amazing how easily I understand. At first I was a little worried because I usually have difficulties in reading in English when it comes to a proper book, instead of a short test or something else for school. I'm pretty sure I'm going to write a review, or at least something that will pretty much look like one of those long comments about a certain book. 

Another important event...oh yeah, yesterday I took my drive license! I finally did it and I'm so proud that I made it at the first attempt. When it came to the theory part, I failed the first time because I studied by myself and it was the period in which it was not clear what kind of test I was going to do. With this I mean to say that here in Italy there were a certain kind of testes for the drive license that had to be replaced with new ones, the Europeans, with new things to study. When I had the theory test, it should have been the first time with the new testes but they kept moving the exact date, and at the end I studied for both, so this meant I was not fully ready for both of them. And I failed (with 5 errors, maximum to get it done is 4...ugghhh!!). The second time, with the new testes, went perfectly, as yesterday's practical exam. The only thing I'm a little bit upset is that the ''minister of transport'' (or however I can translate it) printed my drive license with a mistake. It was written that I need glass when I drive; this isn't exactly wrong because I have glasses but I'm not blind without them, I only miss few degrees. So yeah, they broke it in front of me, while I was holding the marking pen to finally sign that plastic card that was going to lead me to freedom...kinda dramatic in this way, but that's basically what happened. In one week my card will arrive and I'll be authorized to drive on my own, but untill that day it's like I didn't have my examination yet. All my plans for the weekend are ruined; they were not great because I'll just work as photographer for a couple of birthday parties but still, I feel the taste of loss in my mouth! (If this is an expression I can translate).

So really this is it, I'll post as soon as I can, a picture of me driving...or at least a fake one in the car :) 

Have a nice weekend xxx
