First day at skewl

At age of 26, I am back taking classes. The experience is nothing new. it seems like i have taken a time machine back to 16 years ago when my family moved to Vancouver Canada.

Walking to a classroom full of new faces. The only difference is this time the teacher speaks italian. I felt very helpless. It seems other students already know much of the language except me. Honor student at Highschool, graduating top 10% in University and finish 1st at Berkeley yet I was being sit aside when other was participating in little number games. This is a feeling hard to discribe and i hope none of you ever of experience.

I think it is the super Rowena side of me comes out. I want to be the best. Miss know it all. sitting at the desk today did not make me feel comfortable at all. Yet i think i will improve the most in class since that is what happen 16 years ago.....

School is expensive 710 Euro. not cheap. So i decided to at least give it a month. Did I mention they only gave me an excerise book and not a text book.. ummm where should i start studying.... On the brighter side, at least my day is going by faster now....

2 more days to my Birthday , yet this year i am not looking forward it at all.... not because i am getting older!! just because i dont feel like there is much to celebrate at.

I am really having a great time here in Italy, I have Fede. I know things will get brighter and better as each day goes by. I think for now going by each day is too big of goal for me. .. i think going by hrs is my new goal....

dont worry i am really doing better each day!
