Tonight we are gonna present our Digital Composition video at the Auditeria! Everybody invited is gonna see it. Our video turned out good, I had SO much fun doing it pretending to be a fashion stylist, and I am proud of the work that we did editing it because I think it's really good to be a school project!
:) Besides that I will update the post so that I can tell you what people thought about it.. Acting, editing, music and scenes! We already got an A for the movie, which was the best grade we got! I have so much fun doing all these movies! :)

Few days left, gym, videos, birthday party!
What's up guys? I am pretty okay... Today it's cloudy outside but for the first time in my life I like it because otherwise the sun will be out till 10.30 p.m. and falling asleep is impossible. Moreover the girl who lives with me decided that she can't wake up in the morning if the curtains are down... So according to her I should sleep with the sun on my face=sleeping so bad that I can't even be awake in the morning..
But, anyways... Counting today there are 13 days of school left and it's basically nothing! I remember myself on my parents' bed watching interviews and movies in English and waiting for my family to show up.
It's a weird feeling but.. I lived this year intensfully and it's not like I don't remember it and it feels like the time flew fast, I just thought that an year was longer. But it's long enough I think... I did not need more; now it's time to join my family and my friends again and start a new chapter of my life. I am quite happy to come home because sharing the room with another person is not easy and I need a break.
I am also trying so hard to lose weight before coming back to Italy and before graduation... I gained weight while I was here but I am definitely trying to lose it. I am doing an hour of bicycle and at least 30 minutes of Pilates every day. Plus, I am eating way more veggies and fruit and less carbohydrates, fat and crap.
I will update my results... I won't write the weight I started from though ;)
But I am doing pretty good!
The video projects are almost all done, we have done an episode of what not to wear, a video where I am the Italian actress advertising the ideal President of the United States, and the next project coming soon is a remake or parody of the song "I'll make a man out of you". All of this videos will be uploaded on youtube of course.
Birthday Party!!! June 9th I'll spend the day with my family to celebrate my birthday and the day after I will celebrate my 18th Birthday with my friends at Yabboq in Milan... I will have to find an amazing dress and take super pretty pictures! :) By the way... I have to invite people here otherwise it will be too late ^^
Bye Guys I love you so much! You are the best!
*Follow your bliss*

Hey Hey Hey! Here I am again during my computer keyboarding class... (I should play games but typing here I believe has the same effect).
How are you guys doing?! Everything is going pretty good for me.. Jayme left to go to Florida and Dwight will meet her in Orlando for a vacation in SOUTHERN Florida to fish and have fun with Kile, their younger son. Tammie will come to our house to take care of us...
I am kinda stressed because of my assignment in US gov... I have to do a video and I have to hurry in order to finish it in time.. Plus we gotta do a funny video for film as literature... Oh well... I guess that I will work about it during the week-end!
Big news of the day: I joined the Twitter community yesterday!
I haven't posted something yet but I guess that once you understand how it works, it can be as useful as Facebook to stay in touch with your friends abroad...
Second Big news: My mom and my dad are trying to figure out how to spend my birthday party and especially where! I personally want a quite big thing because it's my 18 birthday party and for us it is a big deal (here in America for example there is the 'sweet sixteen')... But at the same time I just want to spend time with my friends, laugh and be thankful for what I have! So, we'll we what I'll get! I also asked Neus, my sweet Spanish friend if she wants to come to Milan for my birthday and stay there 4 or 5 days! That would be so much fun I swear! But since it's the end of school, she has to check that everything is okay with her parents and stuff like that!

Newark?!
I am so busy in these days cause I have to think about the insurance, the Final Transcript and to prepare things to come back to Italy.
Yesterday Dwight asked me when we are leaving in May and, since I didn't know I sent an email to my Italian organization.
I DID NOT KNOW I HAD TO GO TO NEWARK AS THIRD AIRPORT!
THAT IS SOOO COOL!
Anchorage, Seattle, Newark, Milan!
Parto alle 00.30 and arrivo alle 8.50 am

Night to Remember [SAHS Prom 2013]
I remember 8 months ago watching High School Musical and imagine how my prom would be.
Time flies so fast that after 8 months I had my prom and almost everything was perfect: I picked out the perfect dress (red with sparkles), I went to a nice restaurant and ate a really good meal (TGIF-Chicken, Caprese and Tortellini) and the place Prom was set (Captain Cook) was really amazing (even better than the movies I swear to God! I have never seen a well-organized Prom Night like that before!
The room was red and gold: red rose petals on the tables, red carpet, huge gold lamps and gold tables.
It was really amazing.
The day started pretty good, we went at 11 to Nordstrom (Rinascente kind of place) where Marta and Sandra had their make-up done; they both looked really really good but I did not want to spend 50 dollars for make up... It was kinda useless for me... Then after they both had make up we went to the hairdresser to the diamond mall to get our hair done and they did a good job with Marta and Sandra and at first with me too but I lost all my big curls on the way home basically...
Then we went home and I did my make up that it would have turned out pretty good if I remembered to put mascara on.... (Yes, in the pictures I have almost no make up.. you can notice just the eyeliner and just a little bit of brown cream, not foundation... all the rest is me basically).
We took pictures and even though I hoped I lost weight I didn't... And I am kinda sad for that but at the same time I tried and it did not work... That's part of the experience, our bodies tend to get all the calories from the food because of the change of diet and stress. But there are really cute pictures where I look almost normal.
When we were done with the pictures we went with Sandra's parents car to TGIF (thanks God is Friday) and I had a really good meal for just 16 dollars!
Then we went to Captain Cook, the nicest hotel in Anchorage and we danced (it was so funny because everybody was so dressed up that they could barely move) but that was the fun part... Prom Queen and King were elected and danced a little bit!
At the end of prom, around 12 we went to Carrs to buy food since the others were hungry and we kinda had fun watching all the videos we made on our way to prom. :)
It was overall a fun day because we had the chance to dress up nicely for the last dance, the one that we can only dream in Italy basically...

Acting as an experience! #fun #useful #creative
When you're used to the Italian schools that don't allow you do anything else but studying and then you attend just one here in an American school, you have the chance to try tons of new experiences and activities that you never realistically thought of.
For example I had the chance to be a part of a parody movie of the tv program "what not to wear" and I found it to be extremely funny because I was one of the two "fashion stylists" from Europe that had the task to help a girl with a horrible fashion sense.
I had also the chance to be Hermione for a scene of the first "Harry Potter" movie and I found out that acting takes you into the character problem and you have to pretend to actually have a problem of huge importance without laughing and putting 100% of your effort and professionalism in it and I also found out that it's amazing being another person, learn from her mistakes and way of living and seeing yourself in another prospective. The most amazing thing is that I had also to edit the entire scene and make it exactly like a director would do it.
I had the chance to be a part of a horror movie where I was the dead and creepy girl and use the body language and loud screams to scare the good guys that challenge the Death and I found out that It's easier to be creepy that being sweet when shooting a movie.
I had the chance to make a parody of the song "Physical" of Olivia Newton John and dress up with many colors and useless jewelry and I found it out being extremely funny because I had to act like I was tired and couldn't do more than 3 squats.
This stuff are funny to make and everybody can contribute to make it amazing, from choosing the song, the scene, shooting it, editing it... To presenting to the class being proud of your work! :)
Viva il futuro e l'arte!!! :)

Prom in 3 days
Hello everybody again! It's Gaia here, from the computer keyboarding class! How are you doing today? I'm fairly good. My locker just broke today and I was told to go to talk to the security guardians but unfortunately I don't know where to find them..
Prom is near, just 3 days left, and I have everything I need but the ticket ahah I love my dress, even though it's a little bit long, I have pretty rings and a bracelet!
Marta and I got along for 2 weeks almost and that's definitely a record... Probably we are feeling like this experience is gonna end soon. We definitely had our pus and downs but I believe it's because we live together all the time, and it's hard!
This entire experience is gonna end in 2 months or so and in this period of time you start thinking about all the important decisions you will have to take when you come back.
While I was here, I thought about my life in Italy and I know what I can improve and fill my life with, How to use the resourses that a big city as Milan can give me and could have given but never taken...
The problem is always that you never know if it's worthy to follow your bliss, work hard and see it positively or Choose the smooth way but never be' totally Happy and Proud of yourself cause you never gave a single chance to the other way.
It is true that in this world you're not always able to achieve what you want easily, but it's Also true that it delenda on your skills, strenght, determination, support from other people and hard work that determine where you will end up being...
What I learned while I was here is that you can't just wait days to pass and live your life with out goals because you will lose every joy. You have to have a goal in your mind that pushes yourself and keeps you alive. That is the best way to not die while you're still alive. So... Do I want to live with a huge regret or even collect them alone the way or just work to make my dreams come true? That's a tough one... For sure, knowing myself I have a hard time working hard for stuff that I don't Like to do, I don't understand or that don't help me achieving my aims.
The truth is that we need to be clear with ourselves and don't lie. We Also need to be' clear with people around us and have the courage to say what we want from our lives. That's a Great beginning. And That's where I want to start from.
You Also cannot let people decide for you because They have no idea of what you're skills, abilities are, simply because They have some different from yours and They think about the best solution according to their abilities... the result? We'll never be the best.
I am excited to Go home and fight for what I want to see in my life using my experience here. At the same time it will be hard to do everything but my Secret Is to not waste time. I have done it before.
I hope that you will take this suggestion and make a change in your lives. :)
I hope you'll have an amazing day and start ma king a difference Now! Don't just hope, wish and pretend or imagine. Plan instead and start to work for it right now! :)
