Oggi

Tomorrow I leave Perugia, February has gone by fast and it have been a lot of fun! However I am now very ready for a change. The last month has been contented with various activities. First of all the language course which I satisfied with, both the out come and the course plan. The social part has been busy and very nice as well, a lot of good wine, dancing, me as a dj, I have been working out a lot and meet so many nice people! I will miss my Andrea a lot, she is so much fun to hang out with;) Next destination: Unknown.. I think it will stay that way for a couple of days and I will go where the wind takes me, I know that eventually the wind will take me to Rome and that is more then enough! On Friday or Saturday I will go to my farm, where I have no clue what will happen! Updates on this subject will come after some time :) This is there home page btw! http://www.italyfarmstay.com/

Yesterday I got to experience a really distinctly part of Italy when trying to get my diploma. Patience..... Money.... Time.... This is the three secret ingredients for success! First I have to go to the secretariat to get a form, fill this out and get both my teachers to sign. Of course the form was in Italian, and all though I now know a whole lot more then when I came I was not able to understand all on the information written. So back to the secretariat I go, there they tell me that I have to go to the bank and pay 10 euros (for god knows what, I sure don't!) and bring back the receipt. So I do that and return to the secretariat as told. No,no,no ragazza! You have to go to a tabaccheria and get a special sticker (15 euros) and bring this back as well. So I do, I always do as I'm told you know ;) So back to the secretariat I go with my signed form, my sparkly sticker and my bank recite. Yes now everything is okay and I have all that I need for success, or do I? He sign this and stamps that, smile and tell me that I can collect my diploma in a week. He??? A week, what can possible take so long? I ask the man if is a option that someone can pick it up for me because I will not be here in a week. Of course that is possible, I just have to fill out this form! The form require information about my friend that I don't have, so I therefor ask him if it possible to send it to me in the mail. The man tells me that this is not a problem, i JUST have to go to the bank and pay 7 euros and bring him back the recite. So that is what I do, returning to the secretariat I no longer wounder why everything in Italy happens so slow. Walking down the stairs heading for the secretariat I can't help but laugh and I was very pleased to know that I had all the time in the world today to succeed in this mission and no appointments. Back at the secretariat for the 100s time I give him the recite and I am asked to write my address twice and that is it. Finito :) I expect this certificate to be signed by the Vatican, smell like lavender and to be made by gold :) Time will show !

Lets move on! I have also a new camera now, and you can all imagine the struggle I went thug to get this after reading about the certificate. Anyways, a really nice Kodak camera, 10 pix and 120 euros. Not bad if you ask me :)

Last night in Perugia and I will stay at Andreas casa. No plans for to night but hopefully some good food is coming my way! Ciao!
