...It's been long, uh?
this year's been kind of a rollercoaster... but let's start with the beginning (DUH!).
Got out of high school (yay!) and been pretty confused about what I should have done with myself for the whole past summer. In the end I decided I shoud go for computer science (or whaterver "informatica" is called)... pity that I didn't realise that was a huge, big, fat MISTAKE! I attended classes for a month and realised it wasn't my thing: way too much maths and boring boring boring (sorry if there's anybody out there who likes it... this is just my 2 cents)! So I got depressed (now THIS sounds angsty!), cause I felt I wasn't doing the right thing and what I saw ahead was just failure and boredom...
But enough with that! I came to my senses and changed to foreing languages and literatures (I took English, Spanish and French): luckily I stayed here in Udine university so that wasn't difficult to do. After that everything got actually fine, not much to tell about that: I made some new friends and everything's fine in the exams department as well. At least now I'm doing something that I actually like. What I've been thinking is, I'll get this degree (3 years) and in the meantime I'll sort out all the mess in my head and reach some conclusion about what I really want to do with myself.
What's interesting is that I've been to Florence all July attending an anatomy course in a private school of arts! Looking at the drawings I did, it looks like it worked and that I have at least some knowledge of human anatomy. I've been pretty inactive during this whole year, so the only stuff that I have and I'm not "ashamed" of is a couple of sketches I did during this course.
I'll upload something as soon as the muses wake up!

Hi folks!
It feels like years since I came here and actually posted anything! Sometimes I peek a bit, but school is draining me. It's my last year and, as we say here, all knots reach the comb... we're having our final exams at the end of june and now teachers are hunting us around the school for grades and then they want to see the thesis that we have to prepare (and obviously I haven't even written the introduction... actually on my words file there's not even a word apart from "introduction"! ... I always knew I was a procrastinator at heart! I'm still hoping that a muse will come and dictate it to me while I'm asleep. It's not that I don't like the topic (infact I chose it), but I just need some freedom again. I'm fed up with school and always having to mediate with teachers AND schoolmates and, yes, I know that's life, but I really need a break.
Another matter that's gnawing at me is uni choice. Since I got the CAE, I would really like to go to England, because universities look much more better equipped there (don't laugh at me, I would like to do digital animation or something like that... you know, I'm not quite through the fog), but on the other side, it's really expensive and then... I don't know, I'm a little insecure.
As long as artistic news are concerned, I DO have a new drawing and a couple of drabbles (just for the sake of it)... I just need to win my sloth and scan them...

you take care! bye!

After almost a month of totally no connection (a crappy thunderstorm burned our modem and the guy who told us that he would bring us a new one didn't show up for the whole time... making my father pretty nervous... and believe me, you don't want to be near when my father gets angry), I'm finally on the net again! Nothing particular has happened in the meantime except that I've finally got my driving licence (yay!!!!) and that I've been to Germany for a week. I'm kinda pretty happy to be back cause I don't really like the language (and I can't speak it properly) and therefore I don't manage to enjoy the whole thing! So, any german people out there, no offence intended! And obviously, during this whole period I didn't even pick up a pencil, whether because of no time or no inspiration and yadda yadda yadda... this is being the less productive summer ever.
In a couple of days I will leave for Florence and stay there for a week or something... so no possibility of drawind anything, unless huge urge assails me...
big hug to everyone!

Does artist block exist? cause, if it does, well, I caught it! It's not that I don't have ideas... infact I have plenty of them! It's just that everything I put on a sheet of paper looks ugly to me... sob... and what is even worse, my laptop has a *BIG* problem. The hole in which you put the charger doesn't make contact and therefore the battery doesn't recharge. I phoned many people around here asking what I should do and everyone kept telling me that I should send the laptop to Milan... or wherever HP centre of assistance is... which probably means 1 or 2 months without my laptop. I still have my father's computer for surfing but all my stuff is on my laptop and... SIGH... then Outlook Express deleted for no reason my latest e-mails... now I'm still waiting for the next disaster... this period is being pretty apocaliptic...
On the bright side, I passed the written driving licence exam! I'm so happy about that . I was so fed up with all those quizzes asking always the same questions!
Well, maybe I should go and try once more to draw something decent... bye!

hate my fucking new scanner. it burns all my colored drawings! now i've gotta go upstairs and look for old one, which hopefully will work better!
hope you folks are in a better mood than me...
bye!
