Saturday:
I went to Leicester. I got a bit of morning with family then I went off on my own. I got there at about 12.10 and walked to where I was meeting Potter. On the way my old politics lecturer stopped me and I told her all about Italy. She was impressed. Potter took ages but we met up and went to the pub. It was so so cool to be back in the Dry Dock. I had curry lunch, potter had Italian style pasta (i'd sworn off Italian food for these two/three weeks). It was cool to chat
After that we walked to his, stopped of a while to look a Dane axe, viking boos and go to the loo. Then we walked on to Crazy's. On the way we discussed the latest developements in Hrfan and I gave my view on Paddy.
When we got there it was great! People were playing a zombie game. It was cool to watch, and then I got to play it. The controls were weird at first, but I got it eventually. Its a fun game. After that we played Halo 3, which I didn't get. It was more complex and less pointful. It also seemed alot more difficult and I died alot. It was still just great to be with them thou, just a bunch of great mates and relaxing and fun. Exactly what I needed. I spent ages with them, then we went to Nandos. I had a smallish meal and then everyone went home, I got a lift to the station. I was alot later than I thought I would be home, but it was fine.
Sunday:
Was a family day vraiment. Lesuirely getting up and stuff. We went on a long green walk me and mum and Iz, which was cool!! We had really nice meal in the evening. After that me and Izzy went to see Twilight. The film was pretty good, other than the sparkinliness. The dialogue was cut right down, which made the whole film more about the dark side than the love part. It was still cool thou, and Rob Pattinson is still hot! Izzy however had a fan girl moment, and loved it as much as I loved the books when I first read them. I'm glad she enjoyed it, and i'm getting her the books for christmas.

Tuesday-Friday
Basically I didn't do much. It mostly revolved around me wanting to go home. I cleaned up my room, read Gomorrah and generally did nothing.
Friday I woke up earlish and did more tidying. I procrastinated most of the moring. In the afternoon it actually was time to pack. It didn't take that long. I was all paranoid about it being way to heavy though. I worried about it while I made an attempt to tidy the rest of the room and the stuff that was staying there. After that I was still paranoid so I went out to find scales. There were none in the shop so I went to the pharmacy. They said there was one just two shops up. It said my bag was just under 3 kg over. I went back and took a bunch of stuff out. I went back again and weighed it. 1 kg over. I took more clothes out until I was left with almost no clothes at all. Eventually I got it to .1 of a kg over and left it as I literaly could not take anything less.
Then I went on my journey. At the airport i'd forgotten AGAIN to take my nail sciccors out. That annoyed me, along with the fact that during rummaging through my bag my laptop had got smacked to the floor. Thank god it still works. My mood was bad but it got better. Amanda turned up not long after so we amused ourselves chatting about stuff. She told me about a cool club in Bologna called million, I should check it out. Shes not coming back, shes got work experience in France for the rest of the year. The plane was fine, if a little bumpy. Amanda slept and I read my book. When we arrived the weather was massively bumpy and we had a really dodgy landing. You could feel the plane lurching from side to side. It got the pilot applause though. When we got out it was very windy and it smelt all green! Like England does. It was so cool. Seeing Izzy and mum again felt a bit surreal, but it was all good. We went home and to bed, it was quite late

Monday
Monday morning I woke up at half 7 and spent the hour getting dressed and doing last minute revision. I kicked Uber awake when I was about to leave, he said bye and good luck. I went off in a massive stress, in a very bad mood-tired and emotional.
When I got there I pretty quickly bumped into my aussie friends from my class. They didn't know where the exam was either. Eventually Fabio came along and saved us. JD and the girl were already having their exam. We chilled and revised, but I was so so stressed I spent most of the time trying to calm myself down. We waited what seemed like ages, and then 2 of them left at once. The lecturer saw me and asked me to help her as she has some English people visiting on Wednesday and she doesn't know how to say their names. I said that i'd help.
We then stayed in her office and listened to other peoples exams. It didn't sound that bad but I was still too stressed. Then I did my exam. It didn't go too badly. She did alot of talking. I mostly did descriptions of the mosaics in Ravenna and we had a quick chat about one of the crypts that the class had been to here in Bologna.
After that I went home and spent an hour or so with Uber just chilling. Then he had to go to we went to the bus stop. Hannah was there so I was sure he was in capable hands. We said goodbye. The rest of the day I did pretty much nothing. I was so tried from the exam stress. I went online and read books. Nothing strenuous.

Friday
Friday I did almost nothing. I felt bad about having done nothing so in the evening I met up with Stephen. We went to the cinema but they didn't have a film programme so we went back to piazza maggoire and then he went home, I went to Lydia's. We chatted and everyone was cooking in the kitchen. They had finished helping them cook so then we watched a bit of tre metri sopra il cielo, but Christina missed the beginning bit and then they had to go out later so they missed the end part. I then went and had pizza at the really nice place by theirs, on my own which was a bit weird. Went home, chilled, slept.

Thursday
Yesterday I got up late. I had a lesson at 11, which I went to. It turned out that they had no keys for the lockers and I would have to go upstairs. I wasn't going to do that as my lesson was downstairs so he let me go down after a bit of pleading. When I got down there it turned out that no one turned up as there wasn't a lesson. I was very annoyed at this and I went upstairs and lazed about. I texted Stephen and he said that there wasn't a lesson. Urgh
While I was waiting there the phd guy from Leicester (called Martin) came to chat to me. He reminded me that I didn't have my last lecture of the day either. We had a cool chat about archaeology, dissertations and languages. During which I was also texting Stephen about the lesson. Eventually I got hungry and went home.
I went home, got lunch and then a few hours later started to feel really ill. This went on for hours, and I had to cancel the plans I had for the night. I was sad at that. By the time I went to bed I was feeling alot better

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
Sunday: I think I skipped writing about Sunday as it was so dull. I read a load of the twilight books and talked about doing work when I didn't do it.
Monday: I woke up later than I had wanted to. I didn't have my normal morning lecture. I went to the new class and it did have people there this week! Lydia wasn't there as she was at home. We got taken around the various places in the library to find books and maps. She then told us to get our bags from the lockers so I assumed that was the end of the lesson (even though it was early). I sat down and worked a bit, and then Frederica and her friend arrived. We talked about christmas food, and about the Alice in wonderland book that Frederica had. It was in Italian on one page and English on the other. I read a bit to them in English and they said it was nice. At this point we had to get to the next lesson, and we were ten mins early. I went in to see if the room was free and walked into the last part of the lesson i'd been in before! Mortifying! I got a rabbit in the headlights look and walked out. Frederica laughed at my face, and I explained what had happened. She laughed. We then had our real lesson, which went fine. I went home and chilled that evening
Tuesday: Another weird day later on. Firstly I woke up really early as I was stressing about my CILTA presentation. I decided to skip my first lesson to make sure I was sorted. I met up with my friends that I do the presentation with at 9.30. We went to the factulty and went to the library of economics. We realised that we didn't have much to do, but that I needed to write mine out so we then went to the faculty. They left me to write my work out while they went and brought a panetonne and knives. I'd almost finished when they got back, and we did work stuff for a while until we were both finished. I practised mine to both of them, and they said it was good. We had plenty of time so I got myself lunch as I knew if I didn't then, then I wouldn't be eating for alot longer. It was then time for the lesson. Dimitra went ok, but she was sitting down and made quite a few pronounication mistakes. Also the teacher kept interupting us and giving more info. Then it was my turn and I think it went quite well, despite people chatting during it. Irenas video was really good. I stayed for other peoples but then left early for the next lesson.
Lydia arrived soon after I did and I told her of my embarassment yesterday and about the lesson in general. She told me about her trip home. Lesson started and there were only 4 of us crowded round a map. The teacher had a soft weird voice so I didn't understand much, but Lydia also looked a bit confused. It went on a while and then Lydia asked him about if we were allowed to start the second module. He said this was the end of the course and the exam was v soon. We were like ohhh. In the end we stayed a while, but then when they went back to their seats to begin the main lesson off the map we left. As I was going I asked the guy when we had the etruscan exam. He replied that he'd taken it already, making me look very stupid. Urgh.
Later on that day I also went shopping, picked up a bunch of food forgetting that I had hardly any money. I ended up only buying 1 out of the bunch of stuff I got. The salmon wasn't even that nice! Yeh, two days of everything going wrong
Wednesday: Urgh I didn't even know I had missed this day. I got tickets to nightwish with Lucie, thats about all thats interesting.
