20 years ago

It was twenty years ago, and it is my first visual memory. I was three years old, we were looking at the tv, and I saw the Berliner wall fall on this day of November. I think that I didn't realise at that moment what it was, but I realised that it was really important, seing how happy all these people were crossing the boarder, and with how much anger they were destroying this shameful separation. It seems so incredible right now to think that when I was born, Europe was still cut in two parts...

Appart from that, I'm back from one month stuck in the library. We attented a law competition with three friends of mine, and me and Alessandro put all our heart and mind at work during the last month. We were a bit disapointed because the two other guys were not really in the same state of mind, and therefore the paper we gave back to the jury is far to be good enough to be among the twelwe best to go for the final... But we cross our fingers, and hope that there were even worse competitors than us!

I planned some travels for the winter. There are not many things that I hate more that this season, and I try to get as busy as I can, and I think that I can't get more busy than that. I'm working twice longer on the days to get some extra cash, and as soon as I can after Christmas, I will go to Italy with some friends. When I'll be back, I'll take a trip to Istanbul with crazy girl (I know I know...) and look forward to see this impressive city! It's been a dream of mine since we talked about it at school when studying the history of the roman empire. After that I'll have just a few days before my exams, and then will attend extra lessons on european laws. In between, I'll try to go up and visit some family in the Alps. I'm looking forward!

I hope that everyone else is allright :) I had no time to read other blogs...

See you guys!
