Half A Year Abroad!!

Gosh, it feels oh so weird to be back here to write something!
I know, it's been definitely too long -almost two months!- and this time I can't even use the "nothing has happened" excuse, since something actually occurred! ;-)

But this isn't going to be the blogpost in which I'll explain how much fun I had during those -very- few days in Croatia with my friends, or how come there has been photos of me in pitiful conditions spreading on several socials. No, this is just going to be a short collections of thoughts after these past 6 months here in Cambridge and, more in general, far from home.

Let's begin by stating the obvious: time flies. I mean, look at me: six months ago, at this same time, I had just landed foot on Cambridge soil for the first time in my life and now I have a house, a safe -but rather stressful at times- job...I have a routine and a life, though I'll admit not as exciting as I had hoped eh...Oh well, I guess that's a kind of price I have to pay to be able to maintain myself, right? :-) And I still have some time to turn this thing around! :-)

Anyways, to think that summer -although I wouldn't call it 'summer'- is almost over...Wow!! Apart from my aforementioned holiday, I spent most of my time working -we got quite a few busy days at the restaurant!- and generally chilling or hanging around here in Cambridge. This means that, when I get home by the end of the year, I won't have much to tell about England or the UK in general, since I won't have the time to organise many trips around the country, and that's a shame. On the other hand, considering how easy it is to fly over here from my hometown in Italy, I now I'll be coming back soon after finishing my experience here, this time with the intent of enjoying as many things as possible as a tourist, without the pressure of a deadline coming from work.

Apart from that, I am still rather satisfied with my accomplishments -pass me this word- so far. And this despite the fact that, even though probably I am too demanding, I feel I still have a lot to learn and to improve language speaking, although I am happy to see something has changed eh... ;-)

Oh well, as I've already said, I still have quite some time and I am sure with this attitude, by the end of my permanence here, I am going to have very few regrets.

Now I'm about to end this post, which is lacking in sense and order so badly, since my shift begins soon. Apologies to those who'll have to read the Google-translated version of it, I know it sucks, but I didn't feel like writing in both languages :-(. See ya all soon!! :-)
