I think that if the professors doesn't post on the university site the result of the first part of my exam soon, I'll go crazy. How am I supposed to take the second part of the exam if I don't even know whether I failed the first one?
Well...this morning was Latin grammar's turn: the first papers were quite difficult, but the second ones were a translation of a Cornelius Nepos' passage, "Hannibal's suicide", or, as I love to call it, "Death bu idiocy". Seriously, how could the man who trespassed the Alps with elephants die in such a stupid manner?
For the ones who don't know, here's what Nepos said (or at least, it's what I translated...I hope it's right!): Hannibal built a small fort in order to protect himself from Romans, and had various "emergency exits" built in case of danger. When he was surrounded by Romans he noticed that MAYBE all those various doors weren't so helpful as he firstly thought: he understood he was in a trap and than,since he didn't want to lose his freedom, he drank poison.
Genius. I'm not a commander, but I perfectly understand when a plan is a failure, and being trapped in a building with too many entrances it's not my idea of "perfect plan".
Thinking about that...maybe I'm not a genius myself! After I finished with my exam, I made my way back home, but the exact moment I was going on the train I noticed I left my jacket in university, so I had to come back to the class and took it. Now, you have to know that Bergamo is divided in two parts by the Walls: the lower part (Low Bergamo), and the "higher" one ("Città Alta", High City, or High Town), which is the historic center and where my faculty is located. So I had to deal with the city traffic (the so called "Vialone", one of the main streets of the city, is a real nightmare!) and take a bus in order to reach Città Alta. I could have gone also by foot (Bergamo is a small city), but the road was all uphill, and I was alone: it's more fun walking around when you are in two or more! Also...I was hungry and lazy in that moment.
Thankfully my jacket was still there (you never know, whenever it rains there's always a massive robbery of umbrellas!), so I could go back.
I'm so dumb! XD
But this day wasn't made only by stress and anxiety...in about half an hour I'll see my boyfriend, and we'll go eating pizza! I'm seriously looking forward to some realxation, or else I'll really go crazy! XD
P.S.: My sister is a Slytherin. This could mean we are like Sirius and Regulus Black. Wait...does it also mean that I'll fall behind a veil like an idiot and she'll be eaten by zombies? O_o
