If all your courses are credited, then I say go for it! Which university would you be interested in attending? Bologna. I'd have liked to go there in the first place, when I finished high school. It's not far from where I live, but staying in my city was a cheaper and easier option.

That makes sense, but I guess for only one semester it wouldn't be too expensive and the experience would probably be worth it in the end. Well, as you said, you've got the entire summer to think it over

Well, as you said, you've got the entire summer to think it over It was too expensive for me at the time, Bologna University itself doesn't cost much more but moving there was more expensive than living at home (clearly), even the 2 hours commute was more expensive. I'll think a lot this Summer!

Two thoughts. Libraries of the city are going to sell books they don't need tomorrow, at 2 euro each it's the very first time they have a second-hand books selling and I'm SO extremely excited! I'm seriously thinking about changing University, same course but different city. I just hate it here and everything about the university of my city makes me feel sick. I'm afraid it'd be considered stupid of me because I've only three exams left, but, if I change, I'd be allowed to keep everything I had already done and just carry one from where I am now (since I'm not changing course). I think it might be a good (if not the only) way to try finding the enthusiasm for learning I had before, which has been dried away by the University I'm attending now. My parents think I should try. Anyway, I have all Summer to think about it. Changing scenery even if for a while is a great thing for motivation and enthusiasm...I have just tried this thing personally after spending two months working in another department in a another university. It's not that I had lost all my enthusiasm but I certainly was a little bit tired and even though I spent these two months abroad working madly they als gave me lots of energy. So if you feel that this could help you go for it and don't think about other people! I'm sorry I can't give you lots of practical advice (I know very little about scientific faculties) but would one of Milan's universities be a good option?

I should have thought about a change of scenery before losing ALL my enthusiam and motivation. I had visited Milan's university back when I was in high school and I think it might be a good option too.

It's awfully green here this year. It's the desert so wouldn't you expect it to be dry? It's hot yes, but so much green. I love it. When driving through California down by Vallejo once, I was looking at the hills and they were the color green that looked like it was a backboard from Hollywood. You guys know what I mean? Haha. That was back in April though so I'm curious as to how those hills look now. I randomly thought of this but it's more of a question, what ever happened to the post card exchange? I really enjoyed doing that.

I really enjoyed doing that. I enjoyed the postcard exchange too. I guess I know what you mean. I love it when the country has vivid colours, it's so beautiful! I noticed that when it snows in Winter, colours are much brighter during the other Seasons, last Autumn the country was amazing on sunny afternoons, as you said, it looked like a backboard.

When I went, it was wheat colored. It was still pretty. I just like the green so much better. I notice when it rains or is mildewed in the morning, it looks like a picture that is taken and then put in bold if you know what I mean.

Here's a totally different random thought which struck me last night when watching season 7 of GG. Do you think Zach and Lane had sex more than that one disastrous time? Or did Mrs. Kim "win" this one?

lol, random indeed! I'm hoping that after Lane had the "sex talk" with Rory, she decided to give it another shot ;D

Haha, poor Lane and Zach Other random thought: I was "watching" Garfield 2 last night and noticed that Jennifer Love Hewitt was wearing the same dress as Rory at then end of season 4. I should probably lay off GG for a while
