169 - Taking a look into the future - part 3

The new adventure overseas started in a way that honestly I didn't expect but that it could have been described as "highly desirable": two jobs, a new house, parties and frequently catch up with people who were going to become my aussie friends. Although, my skills were still far away to be used; indeed, my job, what I reckon I'm good at, still was a goal that I couldn't achieve.
I finally found a good full time job in April and I wonder how time can fly so rapidly that we're already in October and ready for summer (even though Melbourne's weather doesn't give you the permission and the freedom the wear how you should, since every day changes in temperature are so unpredictable).


Along the track, around July, came up the possibility to be sponsored by the Company I was working for. It was an unforeseen news which came up, actually, in the right moment. The relationship with that someone, cited previously, who made me change my mind about the possibility to spend my life here in Australia, was building up ferociously quick becoming stronger and intense.
 
In a nutshell, everything was going in the right direction, however, a few days ago, the suddenly and unsuspected news hit me: my degree, for various reasons that I don't want to explain here, was avoiding me to get an easy "permission" to stay in Australia much longer than I thought I was going to.
For two days I fell in a state of agony and depression, I didn't know how to tackle the situation, where to find the strength to get over the problem; then, I realized that what I've done so far, where I am now, is the result of my effort and my willing to overcome every single problem in order to achieve the goal. So I did in this occasion as well.
I'm currently in the process to prepare all the documents to get my Visa and I'm sure I will get it, no matter what. Because I already decided that I want to spend my life here, because here is where she is.

168 - Taking a look into the future - part 2

I was eager to go back to Italy, because family and friends were waiting for me (technically, my family wasn't, I organized the whole trip without saying anything to my parents such a surprise for them!) and only when I landed to Venice I realized how much I missed them.
 
The 30 days I spent between Italy and London (for New Year's Eve) went by extremely fast and the day of my flight to come back in the other part of the World arrived; I wasn't ready, though.
Too many good memories were keeping me away from another year in Australia and, at that stage, I wasn't actually sure that coming back here would have been the right decision to make.
However, I took a shot. I didn't want to waste the days I worked in a farm to get my second Visa and I wanted to try to provisionally settle down somewhere with a regular life and routine in order to compare my potentially new life with my old life. Only with this clear picture in front of me I'd have had the possibility to figure out what to do with my future.
Furthermore, I didn't know if that person I met previously was still in Melbourne waiting for me; a situation that I consider to be both intriguing and motivating for myself.
