La scorsa settimana ho deciso di ritornare a far visita alla città che mi ha accolto per cinque anni durante i miei studi universitari: Padova, in arte Patavinia City.
Già l'attesa in stazione si è rivelata differente rispetto a come me la ricordavo e a quanto avevo vissuto anni or sono; treni cambiati, fermate differenti, ritardi..no quelli sempre gli stessi.
E così dopo un paio di ore sono arrivato, e ad attendermi vi erano i miei vecchi compagni di corso, quelli con cui sono rimasto più legato. Abbiamo passeggiato per il centro riscoprendo quanto bella è Padova durante il giorno, quanto bello è camminare per il suo centro le sue piazze, tra i suoi abitanti e il loro classico accento veneto.
Ricordo con piacere gli anni universitari e i tragitti percorsi in bicicletta tra le viuzze per arrivare in aula studio, i pomeriggi passati sopra i libri (a volte dormendo e a volte studiando!), gli aperitivi lunghi, lunghissimi e iperlunghi, tanto che a volte ci trovavamo a sorseggiare lo spritz alle 11 di sera con ancora indosso lo zaino.
Rirtornando alla mia giornata padovana della scorsa settimana, dopo tanto girovagare abbiamo deciso di pranzare in una..trattoria, se così si può chiamare. Numero clienti:6 (noi più una coppia), numero cuochi/camerieri:3, numero menù a disposizione della clientela:1. O si mangiava quello che volevano loro oppure...si mangiava quello che volevano loro!!Dati i presupposti non è andata poi così male, abbiamo mangiato molto bene, rimembrando con piacere i tempi vissuti insieme all'università e discutendo del nostro attuale lavoro e delle future ambizioni.
La giornata è volta al termine velocemente, e così il sottoscritto ha ripreso il treno per il ritorno, è riuscito ad addormentarsi e a mancare la stazione di arrivo e dover cambiare treno per poi poter tornare indietro alla corretta stazione!

Election Day
Next Avril in my little town's going to be election for mayor. Maybe i'll go to the polling place (absentee ballot isn't possibile here) for voting my candidate. The political campaign's shaping up and day by day i see new image of potential mayor hang on the bar, wall, some window (yes some window!). Also in some cases they are new face and in other cases they are..bozos, that are running.
I can't bring myself to vote for either or those people. I can't stand the thought of having either of those bozos as next mayor.
There's many time to think and to listen to programme of those candidate, but now i think only that i'll go to the polling place or..maybe i won't.

Toefl text
I'm seeing on my desk and i'm watching my books. So my english books. Actually there are also other books like hydraulic manual, some paper of equations etc..But at the moment i can't get my mind off to thinking about my next exam.
Instead i'd finished university two years ago and i bring my master's degree, however i have to take another exam, the toefl test in the next february or march and i have to pass it with more amount of the minimum which i fix on my mind. I know i must pass it and i can't squeaking by the skin on my teeth or bomb it. I have to ace it definitly.
It's not so simple,i aware of this, but it necessary for the next step. I'm a stubborn person and i have to achieve the first goal, so i guess that at this time the only thing to do is..waiting and above all studying very much.

2012
I left last year and i'm beginning the new year with a touch of sadness, 'cause the last part of 2011 hadnt' been very good for me. Also 2011 is the year of the US's holiday.I discovered California, i enjoyed in Las Vegas, i admired the amazing landscape of Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon; in Washington i felt the history of US in each monument that i saw. I'll bring everything with me.
By the way, i'm beginning 2012 with awareness. I'm aware of my goals, i have to achieve my goals this year and i hope that everything sourround me will allow me to reach my focal destination and i think if i do one's best, in the future i'll be able to do what i want to do.
This is my intention for thw new year.
By the way, happy new year.
