All my planning and work has finally paid off, and I am leaving for Rome on tuesday. Unlike some of my previous ideas which have become failures (If anyone remembers some of them, like moving to the Czech rep. or going to QLAN in 2004) this has all worked out.

My main goal was to study in Italy due to me getting citizenship etc. Unfortunately I couldn't apply for any courses because I couldn't speak any italian. Luckily I found out about the government offerring scholarships for italian nationals abroad, which I applied for and received, so this means that for the next 6 months I am going to be intensively studying italian. I am assuming I should be able to speak farely well by then ;)

My long term plans are to enrol in a university to study engineering in 2009. In between now and then however I will be trying to save up as much cash as possible (I have a good amount right now, but no where near enough)

The bad side is that I haven't found a place to stay. I have sent emails everywhere, even some faxes, spoken to people etc. etc. I can't find anywhere. I don't suppose anyone knows someone in Siena?

But it's ok, I'm just going to arrive and see what I can do, I should be able to find something on the spot.

Other cool things is that I am going to Slovakia for christmas, and I'll probably be back in the UK again the middle of next year. Yay! Adventures!
