Last week

1 more week, slightly less than 1 week in fact. I'll be leaving this Tuscan region go return to the Artic regions of Canada, Toronto.
Freezing bad weather. Not yet, but winter will come soon.
Sheesh.

I got to remember to eat Tiramisu tomorrow. I heard it's invented here in Siena.

Too hard to blog. Just got chased off computer just now.

Another day.

Options

1 more day of class and then my finals. For some reasons unknown, I kept getting emails concerning work and/or lab. Sheesh, I'm stuck here in Italy and everyone wants me to go back to hand in some report, summary or work. I got an email from my old banking job wanting me to go back to work part time.
Sheesh.

What should I do after graduation. I have a couple of options (not in order of preference):
1. Go graduate school, do a Phd/MA
2. Go Japan and teach English
3. Go back to Singapore and work
4. Go sponge off my brother/parents and go on another prolong holiday
5. Go find a job in Canada, Toronto

Option 2 always come across as odd to people who know me. I guess it is because I can't speak Japanese. But I kind of fell in love with Tokyo after visiting it last summer. Nice, clean, efficient. Good sushi, cute toys (Purin), great shows (Hard Gay Ramen). How can I not love such a city. But if I am to be realistic, I would probably be posted to some ulu town in Japan if I go there and teach. Sheesh. It's the only place that I visited that I hope to return. I'm DARN sick of Italy and fleas now!!!

Okay, I'm getting too hungry to type more.

Off to 'mensa' for lunch. The school cafeteria is called mensa. Odd name, the first time I heard it, I thought it was the high IQ club, Mensa.

Okay, off topic and hungry.

Till another day.

Argh.... Lab reports due

For those who are uninformed and for some weird reason or other... not know me, yet read my blog, I worked for 2 professors for credit and for money.
Anyway, I have been stuck in Siena for 1 month and just received an email from 1 professor that a lab summary is due on the 28 August. Which is like today.
I just found out.
ARgh, off to do lab report before continuing my blog...

Just finished 2nd test

My second test for my class is just over...
Feeling quite tired, I want to go home and sleep but ... as usual.. I can't.
Need to plan hotels, tickets etc for my weekend trip to Genova and Cinque Terra.

I have just received news that my lost sandles would not be found... argh.. my nice, new teva sandles.... sheesh... even though they might be fungi causing shoes...

Just found out that the Lebanon war is still on.. It has been around 1 month since I left Toronto and they are still fighting...

Well, well.. I'll just go on my holidays and leave all these nasty stuff alone..

Siena.... 2 more weeks

I have 2 weeks left in Italy... then back to Toronto to slack for a week before school starts...
Need to disappear off the radar so no one can locate me ... need to rest in my fluffy bed for 1 week and eat har2 gao3.. and study my GRE which I hardly touched in Italy.
Hoping to go whale watching this weekend... that is if I successfully get the tickets....
Quite sick of Italy already.. guess it is because my residence is not all that comfortable...
Yesterday.. I killed a FLEA with my pencil lead container, picked up some dead mosquito bug and this morning I squished some big flea-mosquito insect with OF's clock....
Argh. and OF is not keen on cleaning up the room... actually.. I'm not very keen on cleaning too...
There's actually quite a lot of interesting stuff to blog about... but I don't really have easy access to internet... I guess I might talk more about my trip during my 1 week of hibernation..
Till then I guess...
*Whales calling out to me*

In Siena...

I have been in Siena for around 3 weeks....
Using school computer with Italian keyboard... not all that used to it...
Been to lots of places.... Venice, Milan, Pisa... some small Tuscan towns..
Going to Rome in 2 hours.
Argh. Need to go home and pack.
I am drinking obsence amount of alcohol here.... cos it is free/cheap...
Place is basic but okay...
Taking LOTS of pictures...
Feel so disconnected with rest of the world...
I spend my days eating gelato, travelling....
no time for news....
