Randomness.
It's been exactly 2 weeks since I graduated, and life hasn't changed much. Actually, it totally feels the same! The only reminder is people (mainly relatives) calling or sending flowers to compliment me, which feels really awkward and doesn't make things much different.
Much to my dismay, graduation day was just another day...it totally didn't feel like I thought it would, which let me down. Luckily enough, I have major plans for the time to come, so there's no space for the big after-graduation void that hit most of my fellow graduates. Yeah, life is gonna be full of surprises and adventures now, finally! Who would have thought? Right after graduation I just had to stay away from the computer and whatever sort of life-communication-contacts it brings along and regain my usual and normal life! I made so by going camping and hiking in the Dolomites (which are part of the Alps). The weather there was just amazing, and the view and nature incredible! But after that I found myself in some hectic business: preparing crazyforcharlie's departure! We spent countless hours in a boiling car driving up and down the north of Italy in the hard task of getting all of her stuff together before she flew out of Bologna. Ever since then, my life has been much emptier and uneventful, and I have to say I really want it to be like that for a bit! hehe Strangely enough, I enjoy hanging out at home and relaxing and slacking away my days!
There's only 15 more days until I leave for the US, but I still don't realize it, so there's really no point in reminding myself! My life after August 12th is going to be really different, and I'm totally looking forward to it, eagerly awaiting the new pros and cons. For now, all I want to do is spend time with my family and best friends and get ready for the move. I already got my visa with no real hassle, which is always a plus, so things are finally falling into place! Surprsingly enough, my F-1 (student) visa expires in July 2008, which is in 5 years from now, and opens up a lot more opportunities for me in the US, even though I do not want (for now at least) to end up living there, at least not before having seen other parts of the world and having experienced different situations (such as teaching Italian in Tomsk or somewhere else in Asia).
I'll never forget or look down upon when I come from, but I'm looking ahead of me and I see my future elsewhere.
