My beautiful,different summer 2011!!!!!! by benedetta =D

31th of May….This year has passed too fast!! It seems yesterday that I was in september,wearing shorts,ready to start my third year of high school…and now,blinking my eyes,I am 10 days before the end of the school!!!
These months have been fast,full,stressing…but also beautiful,funny,important….The 10th of June, school will officially finish,and we can say goodbye to all these things!
Writing this,I feel a little sad,and very much excited and curious,insecure,stunned,ready to take my life as it comes!
In fact,this summer will be the most important, a different summer from the rest. The 29th of June,an airplane that will leave from Rome will take me to….Thailand!!!!
I will leave my lovely Italy for a really different,smiling,eastern world,where people love Buddha and the king,and eat rice everyday. A place where climat is always hot and solar ( except for the monsoons!! xD),to reflect the character of thailand people,it’s the place of my “always summer”!
So,this year I will have not one summer,but two,really different eachother!!!
My dear italian summer,will be really short!! But I will try to make it very full!My projects  are to go to the beach everyday,morning and afternoon,to go in the sea a lot, at midnight too! To go out everyday and every night,to  dance,to take many,many pictures,to eat lots of pizzas and ice creams,to have lots of fun with all my friends,to live it without any thoughts!!!!!!!! I love my little, beautiful Italy,and I want to enjoy to it the full,with her inperfection,with her magic sea,with my adored food,with the most important people of my life !!!
My thailand summer,on the contrary,will be much more different,and probably,difficult!  I can’t nor imagine that aspect me,and as the fantastic volunteers of AFS say,I mustn’t have any expectations. But anyway, I hope to learn thai language very well, I hope to tan….. And when I will be there,I will tell you about the other things!!! =D
I’m so excited,but in the meantime I don’t realize it yet!
So…for sure,I will miss my italian summer! The summer that has always taken a part of my life from 17 years ago until now,the summer on the beach,at my friends’ house,or wherever there is a beautiful company ,the summer always spent in amazing,boring,wonderful,happy moments,the summer with the typical Californian tv series watched on the sofa,the summer with the ice creams,the solar creams,the travels,the summer friends,the outputs at night without returning home,the beach volley, and still the beautiful boys,the kiosk,the karaoke,the summer with the swimming costumes during the day and with short dresses during the night, the summer with the mountains of homework to do that nobody does, the summer that always seems too long and too short,the summer that we never want to stop!!! But…... I will be in Thailand!! It’s my big dream,and I’m going to realize it! It is not an attempt to escape, I love my life here,in this place,with these people… But it’s the desire to know,to know and to live something very different! There will be very bad and very beautiful moments,but although I can have 1000 reasons to renounce, I will always have a one more reason to go forward ! So, probably I will lose my whole summer here,my usual fun, and I will not stay in the same  big,my grandparents’ home at the beach with all my relatives,my big family in which everyone makes the affairs of other…but I will live the most important experience of my life! I don’t know if I will be able to do it ,but this attempt is already a big thing….
So,these are all my projects, and I don’t know if I will realize them or not…..but I accept everything,it will be anyway a big experience,my big experience! But now,it’s really late and I must go to school,to face my last days ! I have lots of interrogations….wish me good luck! =)
