Friday

Yesterday was a fun day.
It was Lucie's birthday. We had arranged to meet later in the day with some of her friends so I spent the morning sleeping and the early afternoon reading. I'm almost finished with sense and sensibilty, and looking forward to starting Atonement.
At 3.45 I left the flat and went on my way to the bus station. I stopped at ricordi megastores to get Lucie's prezzie. I got her "tre metri sopra il cielo" or three steps over heaven. Its a famous Italian youth romance film that has a bit of a cult here. Its a great film and the lead actor is gorgeous. I also got myself the Twilight soundtrack and the new Franz Ferdinand album, in preparation for the gig in March.
After that I carried on and got to the bus station in good time. I looked for the bus stop but there wasn't the one I was looking for. Lucie phoned me and I didn't realise that I had to get the bus to her. I then got the bus and all was OK. I didn't check the number of stops, but I got it right by chance and also they were at the stop, easy enough for me to see. There was Lucie, Julia (whos Hungarian) and another girl that I had met before whos German. I don't know her name. We then walked to Lucie's flat. It was small but really nice and nicely decorated in white. It seemed more modern than mine and her room was neat and homely.
We chatted for a while (in Italian), ate Lucie's birthday cake (coconut, it wasn't bad) and had a drink (non alcoholic). After that Julia left and it was me, German girl and Lucie. I gave Lucie her prezzie, and she loved it. We then chatted for ages in Italian and I was happy about how well I both followed and contributed, only occasionally falling into English. We talked about our recent exams, about languages, and about actors, films and books. It was great. Then German girl had to leave. Me and Lucie stayed and watched the film. It seemed that she liked it. I left at that point and Lucie went online to talk to her parents. It was all in all a good day and I was happy with my Italian.
