been a while...

Lots of things have happened in the past month. I haven't really felt like writing...still don't kinda. I guess I do this thing for myself. I'm starting to get used to the idea that I'll be entering university soon...I'm kind of nervous, to be honest. It's weird entering the next phase of my life...daunting. I'm a little bit worried about how it will strain relationships that I have and how I'm going to come up with money and whatnot. I think in the end everything will work out..things are going good so far. There's been a lot of support from my family, my boyfriend and my friends lately that help me deal with the task of entering university. I'm excited for it...I think I'm ready for a change, that's why.

I had to go through death once again recently..my beloved great grandmother whom I called Nonna Peppina, passed away at 90 years of age on Friday, July 31. It's a bit weird not having her around..she was old, but 100% healthy until the day she died. She was a force to be reckoned with..not many people can say that they knew their great-grandparents, I was lucky enough to know her until I was 18. I think now that she's gone I realized what she represented. She was 90, lived alone until her husband died 14 years ago..she's really an inspiration for me and my family. It's sad to leave her, but I always say that everything happens for a reason and I think that gets me past the pain of losing a loved one more than anything. Something good will come of sorrow..I know that much for sure.

In the past month, I've met new people..not really done new things but I really like my life at the moment. That's really all I have to say anyway...I'm happy.

And I got a new laptop for graduation from my family...bombb!
