2008 update
'm back in the United States for a month, and the commitments I have thrown back immediately from the frenetic pace to which I am slowly getting used to.
I started to work with his usual passion - this quarter to 10.30 teach, pace of my sleep - and I love my new class, the students are very intelligent and active, and involved a lot in class, making our lessons very fun and engaging.
My classes are pretty challenging, but not too much, Boccaccio and Petrarch with Professor Webb, who rejects the exams in favor of recitations of poems and small shows - what not to do for an A. .. =.= - And Italian literature of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries - not that there was much ... Campanella, Vico, Redi ... - With Professor Klopp, and quizzini quiz fanatic, that keep me at home on weekends to study>. \u0026lt;
The real news 'this year and' my decision to get serious with film: I started an introductory course in film history, and lighthouse 'a "specialization" in Film Studies will help me' for a Ph.D., I decided to orient the university in California, especially UCLA, where dipertimenti of Italian Studies and Film Studies are both fantastic (and God forbid, have Hollywood around the corner!).
In short, next year the lighthouse 'application to UCLA, Berkeley and Stanford - the climate in California I like a lot more' to the freezing conditions that there 'here - and I will' to build a career based on ' and even the teaching of Italian cinema =)
I am good to have new and frech projects me 'a lot of energy.
With the group of salsa, we proceed apace: I like the choreography that we are preparing, and in April we will have the show =)
Monday 'but I will try' to start doing Parkour , new discipline and very interesting, I found a group here at the university ': I saw their presentation at an international event yesterday and it looks very exciting.
About this event, "The Taste of OSU" in one of the huge halls of the university gym mammoth '(6 floors ...), 50 student organizations have prepared dishes from around the world. I participated with the combination of French and Italian Graduate Students (FIGS) to which I belong, we made crepes that have had an incredible success. The purpose of all this, 'raise money for projects of the association. It 'was a very nice - I like the social side of me ^ ^ - and I could stand to eat Okonomiyaki Japanese! : D
In addition, we collected $ 500 for FIGS be allocated to finance part of the organization of the conference to be held 'in April on "Memory and Trauma" - which of course I offered to supervise Before I became aware of' enormous workload and stress that all this' would cause. =.=
guess they used to be superimpegnata ... but I've never been so 'incredibly full of things to do, from Monday 'on Friday' back in my apartment only to sleep, usually from 1 to 7 / 8.
My energy and 'but' at best, since 'everything' I'm doing I like very much, and I again have a defined project for the future, an idea that supports me and pushes forward =)
Ah, I'm also looking a nice apartment for me in the Victorian Village area (area "in" Columbus, without the annoying first-year students seem to need to party every night), for a nice place to go and have guests =)
And I'm thinking of buying a car.
Well, okay, fine, and even more '.
I'm glad to be here even if I miss my fair Verona and I want to commit to optimize my time and do more than 'things possible, I will continue to be proud of myself.
's all for now, I go back to study for two quiz!
I will try 'to keep staff in this small update =)
