This is what I would like to be. This is what I believe I can become. Maybe it's a little more difficult since I live in a small town in Sicily. On this blog I want to describe how my life here gradually changes and evolves. Describe my little successes and failures. Enjoy!

Rollercoaster.

I'm on a rollercoaster. Emotionally and physically. I feel elated and I'm walking on air one day and a bit out of sorts the other one. I am up with the larks on Monday and I'm full of energy the whole day and then on Tuesdsay I'm drowsy and would sleep the whole day long. Is it normal?




I'm happy because I'm finally doing what I like: teaching. Preparing students for tests and exams make me happy. Plus, I find time to go to the gym and meet my friends, to arrange things at home and prepare some good soups for dinner. Plus the dog : ) Cannot wait. By the way, thank you all for the comments on my last post. I'll post many pics of Artù, you can be sure of that.

On the other hand, I'm a bit worried about the future. I know the most important is to do what one likes best. But it might not be enough at times. Ok, I lost a job but it's not the end of the world, is it?! My Dad is freaking out about me being unemployed, without a "decent, secure" job that will allow me to have a good pension when I retire. So I start to reconsider. Is money that important? One's well-being is not enough anymore? I'm so sick of his constant asking me if I found sth. Yes, I'm looking, but no luck so far. I have been working for 4 years in the office, mundane, repetitive weeks, no time for myself, only day-to-day chores and tasks and don't want to accept sth just for the sake of my future. I want to cherish this time. I get by, I'm not starving. I'm earning enough to feel comfortable, I'm enjoying myself doing things I had never time for. I can take care of a puppy I have been dreaming of all my life. So please please let me be happy...

Thursday.Finally change.

It started off very very well! First, early in the morning I received a phone call from my bf informing me about the amount of money I receive from the insurence company after the accident I had with my Smart. It was over my excpectations to receive 417 euros for the tiny scratch my car has! Of course the cost of my lawyer (=my bf) is included in it.
Next, my boss finally agreed on the dates of my holiday in July! I called my parents and told them and we'll see if they decide to come this summer...

After that another phone call from a student who cancelled the lesson (=free afternoon). I can't really remember a totally free afternoon. So what I did? Nothing. I was watching tv and these corny afternoon programs for housewives. It was GREAT!

And now I'm rushing off to meet my friend and either we go to the cinema to see He's just not into you or we just find a nice bar/pub and have a Happy Hour together (it's been now 2 weeks since we met last time so there's a lot to catch up!)

Have a nice evening, everyone!

Difficult to describe me really. Definitely I am very complicated and ambitious... an aesthete.. sometimes a complainer. Neverhteless I would like to become Miss Independent. But no big words like sacrifice, dedication, devotion, etc... After all, I am a normal working girl who likes to go out, do shopping and having fun with her friends.
