Phew, finalmente we managed to secure 2 last tickets on Thai Airways to Roma at the insistence of F that we trot down to the ticketing office today. I was literally begging the lady 'per favore, I need to be there in Settembre!' She said it was our lucky day as 2 tickets were released and we quickly grabbed them, despite that we'd leave later than scheduled on 2 settembre. But better than nothing riiight? Also I'm looking forward to the trip to Hong Kong in July with mia madre and nonna to visit mia sorella (air ticket is courtesy of my mommy, yay!). This week I also went to the embassy and processed my papers. I still have to confirm the period of the scholarship as I wasn't sure which level / course to pick. Il corso di advanced livelllo 1 mi e' sembrata cosi difficile, madonna! The objective of this advanced course is to "train students to use the language almost effortlessly, in its oral as well as written forms, in a natural and spontaneous manner..." (Si, si, I can be natural and spontaneous esp when I am a bit tipsy!)
"They must be able to make themselves easily understood even if the expressions they use are not always correct and accurate... (Si, e' me!) They must have good mastery of a broad lexical repertory in different areas sufficient to allow them to understand specialised articles in newspapers and magazines. In terms of communication they must be able to choose the most suitable language functions from their repertoire in order to speak and keep up a conversation, to express their points of view using a language that is not only appropriate but also efficient for communicative purposes. They must be able to write clear and well structured texts, even on complicated topics." (Woah a bit scary lor!)

If you made it in on your maiden voyage then, you most definitely can and will make it this time round. It is all meant to be....you are now going back to your motherland for a purpose! If you had managed to progress that far in your language skills to make that first trip, this intensive immersion course will bring out your natural talents. You will excel cos you will be living, breathing, and embracing the culture in the flesh! Follow your heart.....and pack some wine in an ordinary looking flash in your schoolbag when you go for your classes and you will wax lyrical! YAYYYYYYY!!!!
