In a few days I will be going home for Christmas. The past 2
months have completely flown by. Most days have been good, some have been… hmm,
let’s say ‘character building’. I have learnt a lot.
Anyway I thought before I go I would do a little round up of
the first 2 months of my year abroad!
No. of awkward interactions with Conservatorio
receptionists: 10
No. of coffees consumed: 20
No. of lessons at the conservatorio: grand total of about 8.
No. of mornings I’ve been woken up by church bells: pretty
often, I’m gonna guess 45
No. of times rain has leaked into my room: 2
No. of non-understandable conversations with the old man
next door: 5
No. of Skypes home/Tom/friends: 7
No. of amazing sunrises/sunsets seen: about 15
No. of singing lessons: 1, with a non-singing teacher. Who
knows when I’ll have a real one…
No. of times I’ve said ‘non parlo Italiano’: too many to
think about
No. of pizzas eaten: see above answer
No. of pounds gained: again, see above answer…
So, there it is! By the time I come back I will be a third
of the way through the year, which is crazy. By then I will also hopefully be
taking Italian lessons, having more lessons at the Conservatorio, maybe even
having singing lessons?! No, that’d be too good to be true…
I tried to post every day in December but failed. That’s ok
though, the idea was mainly to cure my boredom during the days. But expect a
few Christmassy posts in the next few weeks whilst I’m at home!
Merry Christmas!
