Carnival

Yesterday one of my classmates held a carnival party. Of course we had to mask ourselves. I dressed like a sort of cowboy (actually I looked more like Indiana Jones). A photo of me is included. At the party there were four others guys dressed like cowboys, but I think that my costume was one of the more natural ones, because, apart from the hat, I was wearing exactly the same clothes I wear everyday.

Anyway, the party was good, until they decided to look House of Wax. It's quite a good splatter, but it still is a splatter, and splatters are always telling the same story: group of youngs finds psycho guy who kills them all except the protagonist, who kills the psycho in turn. Boring.

I'm happy I stayed home.

I'm really, really happy I'm not gone to ski. In fact my friends who went there had a strong argument with some of my schoolmates. That's how it happened: Friday morning my philosophy teacher noticed that lots of people where missing. She asked if there was an interrogation or test that day. One of us answered that there was a biology interrogation. Up to now, nothing strange. But that afternoon my friend Pater (that's his nickname) phoned the guys who where in the mountains and he told them that the girl who had told the teacher that there was a biology interrogation that day had instead told her that these guys had stayed home to avoid the interrogation. The guys who where gone to ski phoned this girl and insulted her, without giving her the possibility to reply.

No ski for me - Biology interrogation

My friend told me that departure time for going to ski was 5a.m. , so I decided to stay home. Anyway, tomorrow there will be the first biology interrogation of the second half of the year. It is about cellular respiration ad fermentation. I'm not particularly worried about it, but half of my schoolmates will not go to school in order to avoid it (actually they will be interrogated next week, but they think they'll be ready by then).

My video card is still having problems.

Skying and Aristophane

A friend of mine invited me to go skying with him (and a bunch of others guys) this weekend. I'd be very happy to go there, but my school organizes a trip to Milan to see Aristophanes's comedy "The Birds", which is wonderful, and which I probably won't be able to see another time. So I really don't know what to do. Any advice (given before Thursday) would be very welcome.

Big News

On the 24th of January I got my A1 motorbike driving license. This means I can finally use my trusty Fantic on the road!

Anyway, this summer I won't be able to use it very much, because I'll spend one month in Australia and one in Sudtirol.

This year my class will go in Sicily for five days in March. And I'm going to the York AES conference in April. It's going to be quite a busy year.

I even started to attend a scuba diving course, although I'm terribly out of practice (not sure it's said like this).

I'll post news more often than I did up to now.
