December is here and our class is going to end. I would not have thought that this moment would be so sad for me. I have had great time in my classroom and I've know a lot of good, funny, kind and cool people. I think that they will be good friends for a long time...I hope! Now it s time to great choice: what should I do? Do I have to come back in Italy or not? Should I stay in Nyc? Should I try to built a new life here? I d like so much. I have a student visa so in order to stay in this country I have to enroll in a school. Which school? Ali at nyu or another course? I wanted to do a master degree but it s too expensive but maybe I might attend one non credit course at nyu school of continuing and professional study. It might be an idea to improve my skill and to increase my English. I don t know, but i d like to live in this city and I ll try to figure out the best option.

I'm not that kind of girl who pay attention at her own stuff with special effort. I don't collect my dresses or my accessories or my shoes. I'm get tired about material stuff in few days and after that I usually don't remember where is that black skyrt or where I've hidden that leather coat.
Sometimes (maybe often) I collect my clothes or shoes and I throw them into the garbage. It makes me feel better, I don't know why. But I have a special object that I ll preserve forever. Unfortunately I can't show us my favorite accessory because is in Italy. I didn't bring it with me in the U.S. Because is something that I don't use more. It's a bag, a weird bag that is made by a real coconut. Coconut is split in two, digged and then covered inside and there is a shoulder belt. Even though Is not a precious bag, I remember that I spent 10,00 £ (Italy old money making) in 1999, it has a great value for me. I bought this bag during a sunny sunday in my own town with my best friend Valeria (that she still one of my great friends): one for me and one for her. we were 13 years old and that summer was incredible because I knew all my present best friends. It was for me the border between the childhood and the teenage. I was constantly fascinated by everything, I believed that the whole world could be mine and just riding my bike at sunset was wonderful. I ll keep with me the memory of that time forever: the time of naturalness.

For this reason the cocunat bag is my favourite object, because every time I look it reminde me what I was and how was so happy for everything.

I' m completely agree when we read on  newspapers or on tv that the new technology makes our life more difficult. I'm going to explain my idea better: smartphone, facebook and generally social network could be a problem for our life." Someone is here now", " someone will attend this party" and stuff like that could overwhelming our life. Many of us lead a virtual and lonely life because of this technologyes. We are always under "The Big Brother" control. I think that the social network could be a thing could disappear. Are you thinking about how many relationship could be saved? Or how many trouble could be completed? Nobody in the whole world is going to get angry because of photo that is published, or a thing that is not sayed! Could be a better and chill out world! Let's you think about this! 

In my first post, I have told you that I graduated in law and I have a PHD in law too. I've loved this subject since I was young and I think that working in this area is really exciting and stimulating because everyday a lawyer comes in contact with every kind of trouble. My passion is crimanl law and I'd like to become a judge. I know that it is a work with many responsabilitys, a work when you judge about the future of people; it's not a simple brief. This is my dream, but if I had to think of a job that I've been doing since I learn to speak It's a restaurant owner, because I love cook and I think that managing one is hard but really funny. I used to say: " the cook duty is not to cook food, but to make people happy". The same for the restaurant owner: he doesn't sell food, but happiness.

Hi, I`m Martina and I`m from Italy. I`m 26 years old and I was born in a small town, called San benedetto del Tronto, on the adriatic coast, two hours from Rome by car. It`s a beautiful place with an amazing beach and a lot of palms. Usually we call our city "Sun Beatch", playing with the connection between word "San" (in italian) and "Sun" (in english).

My father and my mother live in the north of Italy, in a nice city called Udine, and my brother, Jacopo, lives in Milan because is attending university there. He study to became a mathematical engineer and he`s 21.

I have lived in Bologna for 7 years, where i graduated in 2010 in law and I attended a PHD in law too.

I love Bologna is the place where probably I`d like to live for my whole life.

I have a lots of friends in Bologna and we like to go out for the dinner o to go to the park for a walk.

I attended an humanistic high school, I studyed latin and ancient greek and the whole classic literature especially from Italy but also from europe and America.

This is the rerason why I love reading: my favourite authors are Calvino, Fitzgerald, Hesse, Eston ellis, Hemingway and Kerouac.

I`m a great cook: if you want I can cook a lot of delicious traditional italian food. I love also ethnic recipes: japanese food, chinese food and thai food.

I moved to NYC in september 2th and now I`m living in Williasburg, Brooklyn: It`s a place with a good vibe, a lot of young people, fancy places and It`s far enough from manhattan traffic and noise.

I`m here because I always dream to spend a span of time in this amazing city and I want to improve my english because a lots of europen work`s applications need TOEFL test. I hope to get it with a good grade.

Obviously I hope to have great time here!

Bye Bye!!!!!!!!!
