I never thought I would be living in Italy let alone pursuing my master's degree here in graphic design. This semester has been one hell of a ride though. In my American University I only took 4 courses a semester yet here in Italy they made me take 8 classes. Next semester I will take 8 classes again and its basically because they are forcing two years worth of work into one year. Wow! This has been intense and all I know is that next semester I will put a lot more effort into my work because this semester has been filled with randomly Italian adventures.
I came to Italy scared, confused, love-blind, and not sure of anything. It has now been a bit more than three months and I don't feel anything that I felt when I got here. I never realized that three months could be filled with so much fun, sadness, pain, and real joy. It has been one hell of a ride and I still have seven more months to go. I have met people so far on this journey that will be friends forever, I have met people who came and went just as they were meant to, and I have met people that were lovers that will be nothing but a memory when I go back to America. All I can really say is that right now, I am happy when I look myself in the mirror.
This life is to short to hold grudges and be mad. The girl I loved hit me with some intense news last night and WOW, I never saw that coming. All I know is that even the people you trust the most aren't always honest with you. Everyone is playing the game of survival and we have to respect that. I end this blog with such a simple and beautiful song. Remember that smiling faces tell lies.
Smile because today is a gift!
