Thirteenth week (1st-8th september)

This was my last week of vacation before the school started, and during this week I did almost the same things as the previous one: I went out for aperitifs, had dinners out, barbecues, and so on. These could have been the most relaxing holidays of the whole 3 months, but I forgot how my dad could be unbearable sometimes. He always wants to be right and while we were talking, he kept interrupting me and talking back. It was really pushing my buttons! Luckily, after a while we both calmed down, and I tried my best to not get mad at him. Apart from this little detail, the trip was relaxing and enjoyable, without many troubles. The best part was that I paid just an aperitif and a magnet for my parents! It was the best sensation ever, because I had already spent all my money during the rest of the holidays.

Sixth week (14th-20th july)

On 14th July one of my best friends turned eighteen, and to celebrate her birthday she decided to take me and her other friends on a little trip to Sestri Levante. We stayed for two days there, in a hotel near the beach. As we arrived we headed straight to the beach, there we took a quick dip because the water was cold. Later, some of the girls and I, decided to surprise the birthday girl by decorating her room with balloons. We were running late but we managed to do it and she was truly happy when she saw it. Afterwards she opened the presents and then we prepared for the dinner party. We ate and drank a lot, since nobody had finished her slice of cake. We had a lot of fun and the night continued with a walk through the town and along the beach (the next time I have to bring my flip flops!). Even if I didn’t know anybody, we all talked a lot and they were all super friendly to me. When we got back to the hotel, the birthday girl wanted to play cards. We were all exhausted but four...

first week (9th-15th june)

This week has been incredible! On June 10th, I went to the Pinguini Tattici Nucleari concert in San Siro with my parents and my boyfriend and had one of the most emotional nights of my life. The band has played all my favorite songs and the atmosphere has been so magical. The whole show was so thrilling that I cried during the song “ricordi”. Unluckily I haven't taken so many pictures or videos, but it was just because I have lived the moment first hand rather than thinking about recording it. Then, on June 12th, I left for Andora with my friends. We have spent relaxing days on the beach and have laughed non-stop. On the 14th, we visited Alassio: I took pictures of the famous Muretto and the Banksy graffiti and we ate an amazing ice cream. In a few days, I collected memories that I will cherish forever. grammar point:   present perfect words: thrilling --> causing excitement and pleasure first hand rather than --> used to express a preference for direct experience or k...

Eleventh week (18th-24th august)

This week I stayed in my hometown the whole time. Almost every morning, as soon as I woke up, I studied for a few hours so that I could catch up on the homework I had neglected while I was on vacation. Most of the afternoons I went out with my friends, but I also spent some afternoons with my family. For example, we went to Ikea, and we also visited the abbey of Chiaravalle. Apart from these things, I haven’t done anything really special. Maybe the only thing is that a few days after Feast of the Assumption we organized another barbecue, since we still had some meat left from the first one. The whole week was not extraordinary, but it was definitely cheerful and relaxing. grammar point: past simple/past continuous  words:   To catch up on (something) → do something you have not time to do it earlier (recuperare) Neglect → to not give too much attention (trascurare) Abbey → a monastery or church with buildings around it (abbazia) Leftover → remaining food after a meal (av...
