I last wrote a blog over three weeks ago. Perhaps the longest time I've gone without (I think). It's been half-related to how busy I've been and half to the laziness which inevitably follows.
So I'll catch you up with what I've been doing.
Since the last time I wrote I have:
Performed in four concerts
Taken three exams (all in Italian)
Said 'addio' to half of my teachers
Taken daytrips to Cinque Terre (twice), Bologna and Milan
Spent many evenings drinking Aperitivi with friends
Celebrated two Birthdays
Had a picnic by the river
Had my Mum and her Fiancé come to stay
Returned to England for just a weekend to play flute in my friend's wedding
Said goodbye to some very important friends here who are leaving soon
And although the ever-nearing prospect of leaving Parma forever and returning back to England is in some ways exciting, this place continues to grow on me and only too soon I'll be on the train to the airport and saying goodbye to it all.
