so apparently, keeping up a blog is much more difficult than I once thought: I log in today only to realize that my last post was something like two months ago...how did that happen? so much for my brilliant idea of updating regularly. Although, this would seem to indicate an already established pattern in my life of initiating some activity and then taking my sweet time to complete it.... a trend? perhaps. (might I point out my love for the sentence fragment?)

In other news: the Master's program starts on 1 september (I swear being bilingual is sometimes problematic from the standpoint of mixing uses and functions and forgetting that rules which apply in one language are not translatable to the other) 

I have downloaded the patto formativo and am ready to begin the course of study (nervous though I may be): this is going to be a lot of work. I have the academic schedule and this wil facilitate my progress - a calendar of events so to speak - which details all the modules, exams, deadlines, and requisites...WOO HOO!!

I am off to the beach today...after pulling the week from hell this past week (think thirteen hour days and a seven day work week...yikes!) I need some form of relaxation to unwind and staccare la spina (though not in the literal sense)

more news later....who knows, maybe if I start posting twice daily I will be able to recuperate from not having posted anything in months.....

I'll keep you posted (though I'm sure readership is nil)

baci dalla grande mela dove si va al mare
