san diego prutt prutt

why is it that cities seem so attracting before you actually go there? well, I should´ve known with my marketing degree that that´s what they do to attract tourist. little would i know. paid a lot for my education, learned zero?!

annaroma misses roma. a little too much. 

is it because my man is still there? is it because i´ve had enough with starting over in a new town? is it because I still haven´t found a place? is it because I don´t want to study, at all, anymore? or is it because i´ve finally grew up and am really tired to move. the adventure of a new place doesn´t attract me anymore? well, I have exactly 8 days to decide. then, if I want to, I have my return ticket to Rome. 

off track

was about to write something very deep and profound about me leaving the eternal city tomorrow. then I accidently looked up and on tv they are showing a radio show and the guest, a famous italian lady in her 60s, is wearing white sunglasses, and she looks so ridiculous that i totally forgot everything that I was about to write. ive said it so many times before, and I will probably say it for the last time now-italian tv is italian tv, meaning...ridiculoooooous! 

ok ill go back to packing. hopefully what I was about to write will get back to me.

peace.

closed

Im doing what Ive always been doing before changing place. I close myself from emotions. My friends are sad, I don´t even blink. cause if i would....the tears wouldn´t stop running. 

they can´t take Roma from Anna. so I´ll always be AnnaRoma, even from California! 

jet

I´m leaving on a jet! and Im so excited that i just can´t hide it. 

ego-trip

yesterday I had an ego trip, only to discover on my way to dinner that i was driving what sounded like a boat?! 

I was on the phone with my dad when i realized that something was wrong with my car. It sounded like a boat. I had my dad listen to it through the phone and he told me to stop immediately, which I did. got out, and there it was. the flat tire! great! agaaaaain. whatever, now Im leaving. no more red cars! 

today i started to pack. it´s not the first time im packing up my life. but it doesn´t get easier, even with my experience. Was down in the storage and realized how many things I have. clothes, purses, not to talk about shoes, and then books. jackets, coats. you name it, Im a girl! 

in half an hour I threw away more than a garbage bag of clothes, from one hockey bag. there are five more..... yes, I will be quite busy the next couple of days. help- anybody??

people´s thoughts of me

"Anna is a strong and independent woman. She has moments where she can be somewhat cold, but I think it is because she doesn´t want to give away her guard up to easily. Anna is extremely caring, for I feel she want people around her to be happy. I feel a strange connection to Anna and an understanding of her entire being for some unkown reason. Anna however can be stubborn and because she is so independent   doesn´t always listen to the right advice. She is a free spirit that wants to do what she desires, but sometimes her judgement might be off. Anna is an inspiring person who can be a role model to many people. I see Anna accomplishing many things in life, for when she sets her mind to something she can make anything happen."

this was written about me during a management class I took at university, where we had to write and describe each other anonymously. this is what someone had written about me. the funny thing is that this person, got everything right about my character. what she or he thinks I will become is just a great plus!  I just had to push my ego and post it here. cause god knows I need encouragement. i mean who doesn´t?

life is about to...

change quite a lot for me and my man! Im really excited, but of course also very very nervous! 

I´m sure it´s gonna be alright. we can do it! we will make it! 

I'm in love

Love is like a rollercoaster. That we've heard before I know but it's true. Sometimes it's up, sometimes it's down, and sometimes flat. You have to nurture love, to everybody, not only your partner. wow now I've given you today's wisdom words. enough now. just listen to this performance, makes you happy, right? this is how I feel right now...
