University, here I am .

HeyHey

I know, I always start out like this...but I apologize (again) for the lack of posts. 

I recently (on Wednesday) started University. It's a completely different thing that leads to a whole new organization of my daytime. I rarely wake up before 9 am, I often have to take both train and Minimetro, a sort of small tram that goes around Perugia, which is the main city in my region, where more or less all the Universities are. I'm completely alone in my new class, I always need to change room, I sometimes have to wait some hours between the first lesson and the second one...BUT I like all this because it's new !

As I wrote in my ''presentation'' I would like to become and Italian teacher abroad, and this University (University for Foreigners) is perfect for my future project. My class is composed by only 25 people or so, the majority are Japanese or Chinese students, and all the others are Italians, Moroccans and one American. I can honestly say that I had no words with anyone in my class, I spoke with nobody, I'm terribly shy...and this is not something that happened to me before. I usually am very friendly, extrovert...but in this new class, I have the feeling, that I'm the only one at my first year, I feel like I'm the youngest and I'm afraid to start a conversation with older people, although we may have only 2 or 3 years of difference. I hope I will make friends soon or it will be pretty terrible for me whenever I'll miss a lesson or anything else.

A part from my class, I enjoyed the few lessons I had this first week ! 

I want to share with you this lovely post that my Mum successfully published on my Facebook Wall ! So proud of her...it usually takes 20 minutes or so, in her case, to understand how to do anything on the internet ahah

1 Settembre 1997 Fede il primo giorno di asilo
1 Ottobre 2014 il mio pulcino apre le ali...e va all'università.
Fede, vola in alto, raggiungi i tuoi sogni !
 Ricorda che se la tua strada è in salita, è solo perché sei destinata ad arrivare in altro.
Con l'affetto di sempre..        

Mamma

Translation (more or less): 1st September 1997,  Fede her fist day or kindergarten. 1st October 2014, my chick opens her wings...and goes to Univeristy. Fede, fly high, reach your dreams! Remeber that if you're way is hard, it's only because you're bound to arrive really high ! With love... Mum''

I'll try my best in posting new things this week, I have a haul on his way and a couple of other ideas, hopefully I'll write something at the end of next week, you'll see if I'll wake it or not...you can always check my twitter for updates :) Have a nice Sunday !

Long distance relationship .

HeyHey

I recently found out about a  TV show on MTV that tells stories of people that, at a certain point of their relationship, have to be divided because one of them has to leave. So they spend the last weeks together and than the one that has to leave for some months goes away in a black car. At that point, we know if they kept the relationship alive, despite the distance, or if they decided to give up. I'm sorry if you don't understand what show this is, it's just that I watch it on TV here in Italy and we have the bad habit to change every movie/show's title, translating it as awkwardly as possible; so I don't know what the real name of the show is. 

This program, in some way, reminded me that I wrote about the fact that I had a distance relationship but that I've never really wrote about it in a proper way. I'm not going to talk about my private life, I'm just going to tell you how did it feel for me to be in this kind of relation and, maybe, I will help some of you, who knows?

Basically, first thing to say is that this relationship was the most important and the longest one I've ever had in my life. I didn't have many relationship, to be honest, but this one could have been the best over thousand relationships. This guy and I were together for two years and our story ended on September 2013. 

We met thanks to school ! On the 2nd year of high school (2011) my class had this exchange with a dutch school. Yes, we're the same age but he's Dutch and I'm Italian and the only way we had to communicate was talking in English. I have to admit that right now I feel pretty confident writing in a language that is not my official one, but at the time...I couldn't tell the difference between ''why'' and ''because'' ! Ok no, this is too much...I couldn't understand everything and when it came to talking I was always really nervous because my vocabulary was really poor. Despite this massive barrier we managed to start talking, getting to know each other and after the exchange I decided to go back in The Netherlands with other three friends of mine during summer holiday. We had ten lovely days there, and this guy and I decided that we wanted to try to have a proper relationship, although 1169.36 kms that were going to divide us for the biggest part of the time. 

We kept having our relationship only seeing each other during Christmas, Easter and summer holidays. Even if it was for four days, those four days were going to make the difference, after 4 months away from each other. 

Although it is now over, I need to admit that this was one of the most important experience of my life. I made huge efforts to keep this relationship working, I trusted him, although I couldn't always check if he was loyal etc. ,and I keep believing that my trust was properly given. We both grow with each other's realities that were different. In his country they always use bikes, they eat lots of foreign dishes, their cities are clean and the houses are small but tall. When he came in my city he was surprised that I didn't need car or bikes to meet my friends, but that I just needed a couple of minute walking to see them in the square, he was happy he could eat all that pasta and he liked the fact that my house was not that tall but pretty large. 

I'm still in love with The Netherlands and I'm seriously thinking about planning my future there, as an Italian teacher (if I'll ever be able to find that job in that country). 

What I'm trying to say in this blog post is that nothing should scares you, every barrier can be destroyed if you strongly believe in what you're doing. Today I read this on twitter:

''If something is meant to be, than it will find his way''

In my situation, it was meant to be although age, distance, language and other obstacles. 

And I'm glad that I, at least, tried to make it work in a beautiful way until when it was possible.

The ''Have you ever'' test .

HeyHey

Back when everyone used MSN to chat, instead of WhatsApp and Facebook, I used to have another blog. It was completely different from this one. Starting from the theme, I did it in green with apples everywhere, one in light blue and bottles of milk (??)...it sounds strange but they were really cute actually, than I wrote in Italian there, I often copied lyrics from different songs, I posted awkward pictures of mine (you know, those pictures you could find in Netlog as well...so embarrassing) and I also used to post different testes I did. On my external memory I found some of those testes, as the ''have you ever'' one. So, since the fact I promised you to post some outfits for spring using the clothes i bought when I was abroad and on the Internet BUT I haven't shoot the pictures yet, I thought that with this test you could get to know me a bit better (if you want).
