Walking under rain and snow

Hello everyone !

Yesterday was quite an awesome evening ! Although it only was Wednesday, I went to bed at almost 5am (things that I obviously don't usually do). This happened because, every week, there's an event in Perugia, at the 110 café, which is the central café for the biggest part of the universities here. It is called the ''Wednesday Rock'' and half of the evening there's a band playing on the main stage, followed by the DJ set with different kind of music. I went there for the first time, and I can't wait for next week to be back again !

Anyway, today I want to share with you some pictures I took last Saturday and Sunday. Differently from my average weekend routine, on the 31st I left at 3pm with my scout group, and we went by train to Spoleto, a city in my region, not too far from where I live but that I've never really visited. When I was a gymnast I used to have a couple of competitions every year in the local sports hall, but that was it. Half day in the gym and than back to Assisi. 

When we arrived it immediately started raining. Covering ourselves and our backpacks as much as we could, we started walking on the Spoleto - Norcia. It's a really nice path because it is an old railroad who connected the two cities above. I had the occasion to walk half of it a couple of time, but on Saturday we decided to leave the path because we thought it was time to, in order to change path and take the one that was going to lead us to Campello, the small and lovely city where we already called and ''booked'' a room. When I say a room, a literally mean a room, not a proper bedroom. We only need a roof and, if it's possible, something that will warm us up during winter time. 

Truth is that we didn't have to leave the Spoleto-Norcia railroad, or at least not on the point in which we did. At 6.30pm was still raining, was dark and we arrived in Eggi (another lovely small village). We luckily found another room there and we decided to have dinner and sleep there, and to arrive in Campello the day after, although this meant that we were going to do +7km the day after. And so we did, waking up at 5.30am.

On sunday morning it was raining again, but around 8am it started snowing. Although to walk with snow it's quite complex and it's colder...it was totally worth it. 

We arrived in Campello, had lunch and the possibility to dry our clothes and warm up a little bit. Than we left again and walked without pause, and at 7pm we reached Trevi, our final destination.

Sorry for the poor quality of the picture, but I forgot my Canon at home, so I could only use my phone to take. pictures. Hope you liked this blog post and, for those of you who like walking and who may have the possibility to come around my area, I highly recommend you the ''Sentiero degli Ulivi'' (The path of olives - literally) and the Spoleto-Norcia old railroad. Have a nice weekend !

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

HeyHey!  

How are you? One week ago I wrote a post about my favourites of the month and it seems like you didn't like it that much, am I right? Well, at least, that's what  Blogger says showing the visualisations of the different posts I wrote. I think I'll try to reduce this kind of topic (like girly one), they are more for "fashion blogger" (that I am not and I don't want to be). I will basically stop because I feel like it's not what I started to write about. I don't want/can/should become a fashion blogger or something like that, not my style ahah In any case, this is just a quick talk/update. 

I almost recover completely from the bronchitis. This week I went back at school was absolutely terrible; all the oral and written tests I missed those 5 days I spent at home sick, I had to remake during this week, although I already had other tests. This led me to cry a lot, to swear against everything, to be particularly mad ad anyone for stupid reasons; In few words, I was hysterical (as my brother kindly defined me). BUT all this negativity/hate I had against school...made me appreciate/enjoy even more all those things I do more than study, such as the two acting lessons I'm taking (one of them is almost over, on the 17th we'll have the play we've worked on), scout, gymnastic (that right now is basically coming back to school walking as much as I can) etc. I even started paying more attention on the things I watch and hear. 

I had a small time on Friday afternoon to shopping with mum and I bought a couple of items I've already wear ahah I don't know what about you but I really like to start wearing things when they are new! I can't wait to see how I style them and stuff. 

This weekend I haven't done much. Let's start saying that my weekend starts on Saturday afternoon (because in the morning I have school). I was out with friends during the afternoon and than out again in the evening for a 20 bday aperitif/dinner (this was so cool).

Oh I had the check at the dietitian...it strangely went well. When I told her I started to eat again in a nervous way when I study, she really seemed a bit bothered, and for this reason when it came out I lost 1.3 kg (basically doing nothing special)  she was as surprised as I was!

Okay this blog post is turning into a single chatter about my life and a bounce of events you don't even care about ahah sorry! To make this post a bit more interesting I'll post a picture of how I started decorating my bedroom for Christmas 

The quality is not the best one, this red looks way brighter than the original (made with iPhone)

For the first time I bought these cute little lights for my bedroom. I saw them in many YouTube videos and i thought  they were so cute I couldn't wait to buy them at the Chinese shop, where I was surely going to find them for few euros (100 lights, 4€). Lots of people have them in blue and I personally searched for white/blue lights but then when I didn't find them I realised that maybe this warm yellow light was going to be more adapt to my bedroom, that has cream walls and red items everywhere. 

The deck I got from Butlers is so cute and you can turn it and there's the same print on the other side but in blue, white and maybe green (can't properly remember right now tbh ahah)

Have a nice week everyone :)
