Well well well. I think it time for me to tell you some thing what I have been up to. Well I have been having a tuff time here, no friends no fun. Just staying at home watching DVDs. It suck I tell you. I the most of July I was just crumpy. Every one asking aren’t you having the time of your live there and isn’t just great. NO!!!!! I wanted to jell out, but I keep on smiling yes it is, I’m fine. I hated every thing even when it was fun. I want to La Scala theatre to se the opera Dido and Aeneas. And I didn’t even enjoy it. I got mad at the girl in McDonald because they were out of milkshake. Everyone and everything was against me, r that what I thought. I just wanted to go home. To a familiar place. Well I still keep on hoping things will be better and I keep on thinking back to the hard time when I was exchange student in Australia.

School was going great and still is. I just finished Leonardo da Vinci the language school and will start tomorrow at NABA. My last exam in Leonardo da Vinci was 80 out of 100. That is my highest grate on till that point. Great!!! Tomorrow I have 2 exams one written and one oral. That is so NABA know what level in Italian I gota be in. For the next 3 weeks I will learn technical Italian language in fashion and some fashion history on Italian (I think…). Then I got my entry exams the 19^th, 18^th and the 20^th of September. So tomorrow is a big day school from 9 am to 6 pm. I will tell you more about it when I know more how it is but nest 3 weeks are going to be really busy for me.

Well back to what I have been doing. Well I haven’t been has busy doing stuff has I was be fore. I just got tiered of trying to make friends and it wasn’t working out. So I found my friends on DVD hehehehe…. Well I went to France the first weekend in August. I went to a student curse in finding my higher power. It was a camp where we did some studying, praying and had some discussions about the religion. I had so much fun there I meet my Icelandic friend Haukur and my hart jumped over joy seeing him. I meet a lot of people around the world and got new friends. I was asked to share my experience on praying to every one. That weekend I just had the time of my life just like when I went to AFS camps in Australia.

The weather here is changing it getting cooler we hare having around 25°C. It’s a nice change from 40°C or even over 40. Milan is really big and I am still feeling that I’m not much as a city child as I thought I was. But still I liked Perth and London. Then way am I so scared in Milan. Well let all hope I will meet some nice people soon. Well I’m not going writing cuz I haven’t done more stuff to say so just wish me good look in NABA Ciao.

I tried to make this trip to Italy more fun, because I really homesick so I singed up for a trip to Torino to go on a Paired. Where I went alone on a bus for an hour and was waking along in this new city and didn’t know where to go. There I meet a woman called Lola and a boy called Fabio. They came also with the bus from Milan but they are from another town called Verbaina, north of Italy. They were really nice. Fabio asked me if I was alone and I said yes and he asked me if I wanted to join them and before I knew it I was holding a big flag and waking along in the paired. People were taking pictures of me like I was famous and later in the night a gay walked up to my and said some thing on Italian and I didn’t understand him but Fabio started to yell out FAMOSO, FAMOSO! And later I found out that this guy wad saying that he saw me on telly this evening. And he notes my cool hair style. Mamma mia that didn’t take long too be famous. I had great time there ad didn’t get back home to Milan on till like 6 in the morning. They didn’t speak any English so I had to really try my Italian.

Well School didn’t go so good. They have these levels in the school and one level is for 6 weeks and is separated in to three two weeks program. So the 1^st level is level 1, level 1a and level 1b. Every 2^nd Friday we have an exam and if we pass the exam we can go on to the next level (to pass you have to get over 50 out of 100). I had to repeat level 1a two times. But the 2^nd time I was the 2^nd highest in my class with 71 out of 100. Next Friday I have an exam in level 1a. Hope I can pass. Italian is really hard and I so often just want to jump on a airplane and go back to Iceland where every thing is normal for me.

I been to a lot of stuff here to make it fun and tried always to meet new people but some how it’s doesn’t work. Popularly because of my bad Italian and no one speaks English. I been to a museum about a great theatre here called the La Scala. That was s much fun, and to she these great buildings they are amazing. They are so decorated with statues and just amazing. Actually, I’m going to a show in La Scala next Friday with my hostess Concetta. I can’t wait. I been to a catholic cathedral and wow they are beautiful they are so much decorated. And I have seen the last supper by Lenardo da Vinci. It’s strange to see a famous art work like that. I have been to a museum about Leonardo, Mosart, transport in Italy and many other things. I saw a big submarine it was so cool. This Saturday I just came from Genova and that is a beautiful city. It was ones one of the biggest sea industry cities in the world. That city is a typical Italian city with narrow streets and all the old sidewalks makes you feel like you are in a movie. I took some pictures and I will put them on the web. Well tonight Italia is playing against French in the world cup games in soccer. Italians are really in to soccer and every time the have won a game the celebrate all night and honking there horns on ther cars all night so people like me that doesn’t celebrate stuff like that, and ant’s to get to bed on time. We don’t get any sleep.

I think it’s time to write some thing what I have been up to. Well I finally graduated from FB College and I’m on my way to the real world to be famous in this big world. So I was accepted in to a school called NABA and it’s in Milan in Italy. I’m going to learn there fashion and textile design. But now I’m there to learn Italian because the school is on Italian and if you going to live in Italy you have to speak Italian not many people speak English here.

So back in Iceland I had a great graduation party or my mom was the hostess on this party. I had a great time and I also had a good bye party where we and my friend went on a private bus to a bowling ally and we had some drinks and did some bowling. Then we went to NASA one of the few good clubs in Iceland and we did some dancing.

Well then it to my trip I was on the airport trying to say good bye to my mother and my friend Erna Loa when my mobile phone rang and it was a journalist and want it to take an interview with me. So what up with Oli? And I told them the whole story. Then it on my way to London and I made I to nights stops there. On Saturday I meet my friend Frikki and we had some pizza and said our good byes. Then I wanted to go wild. So I went to a club stopped there for like 15 minutes and went to a play called Mary Poppins. It was so much fun I love the theatre but to see a play of a movie that I loved as a child was like like….. it just made me a child again. Then after the play I had to get the train back to may hotel which was a far away from town and it takes like 20 min. So it was getting late and I was thinking the whole time what doesn’t kill me only makes me stronger. Then I got safely to the hotel. I stared to pack and forgot few things in the hotel. I been trying to call but like there number is out of order. Stupid hotel. So I will never get these things again. =( I went to Heathrow airport and tried to make it fun there because I came really early and the didn’t let me take my had luggage with me so I had to carry my laptop around the airport in a plastic bag. Well I slept the whole way to Milan on the airplane. When I got to Milan I took the bus to the city centre and taxi from there to my new home. I realised when I was having tea (dinner) I had forgotten some things on the hotel and went to my bed room and called mum and stared to cry. Some of these things were really important to me. Ok that’s not all the first moth was really hard for I tried to make friend but never worked. I did get any of this stupid Italian language and no one even tries to speak English. It was all so NOT going my way. I tried to remember all the bad things in Australia but to compeer them together OZ was so easy. So for now Ciao Bella!!!
