E' da un sacco che non scrivo! Tutto ciò mi urta. Va beh, non che abbia tanto da dire in verità. La mia estate prosegue con pigrissima calma. Ho passato tutto luglio ad oziare, cosa che credo continuerò a fare anche ad Agosto. Devo trovare ancora un tetto per Venezia, spero di trovarlo presto, sennò nel caso dormirò sotto il ponte di Rialto! XD Cosa dire di quest'estate? Cosa faccio? Beh, sto attraverso una brutta crisi di lettura, nel senso che non riesco a leggere tantissimo, la cosa mi da alquanto fastidio! In compenso sto scrivendo parecchio... Beh, non scrivo chissà cosa, solo stupide FanFiction, però mi piace. Non so, mi sta facendo tornare quell'amore per la scrittura in sè, per prendere in mano la penna e scrivere. D'estate soffro parecchio d'insonnia, quindi passo ore alla scrivania della mia calda camera a scrivere, ed è una cosa che mi fa stare davvero bene. ll fatto che mi piaccia più scrivere che leggere mi fa felice.

Per il resto niente di che, dal punto di vista delle amicizie va tutto bene. Ho avuto modo di conoscere, attraverso internet, persone veramente straordinarie, e sono felice di questo!

A fine agosto sarei dovuta andare a Copenhagen con una mia amica, però purtroppo il tutto è andato in fumo. Il mio viaggio della maturità è andato in fumo. Cazzo. Ok, lasciamo perdere l'argomento, please.

Ho trovato questo test nel nuovo blog della mia cara Fede (con cui ho fatto un anno di amicizia da poco, ti voglio bene, cara! <3), già che ci sono lo faccio!

That's all! I finally finish this test! Well, now it's time to go to bed! No! I'm only kidding! I guss that now I'm going to make a cup of tea and after it, I'm gonna read a book (I bought today "Diario di scuola" by Pennac). Tomorrow will be a tough day. In fact, tomorrow will be 100 days to the exam and my lovely class and I will go to the seaside of Cesenaticp and write on the sand the mark, that we would like to get: it's a tradition here (to go to the seaside and write the mark on the sand). I will drive, so it will be doubly tough.

So, goodnight and sweet dreams (Oh God, it reminds me Marylin Manson XD)!

Kisses and sorry for the headache of my "English writing" and the mistakes.
