My Self Reflection :)

Hi!! Today it's my last day of classes.
I am happy because in two day I take the plain and me and my family and our friends are going to Miami and then to New York. So I'm so excited.
But at the same time I am sad because you were not with us anymore although I hope to see you again in Miami.


If you could have lunch with anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be?
I think it would be with Harry Potter, and maybe after that we met leads me into his world and I became a part of Hogwarts, instead of going to school here in Italy with all the matters to be Muggles. Perhaps I also bring you my best friend for lunch but I know that after we should go to the hospital because she would faint. ;)

If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be
I think I would eat strawberries because they are my favorite fruit but then I'd be bad for a long time ....

The two moments I’ll never forget in my life are… Describe them in great detail, and what makes them so unforgettable.
1- a year ago we bought a puppy home to grandparents (Achi) was small and had not yet trained and made her laugh because he ran on all sides then stopped sniffing and I, my sister and my uncle bought him one for Christmas sweatshirts and red wool now if I look at it I do not recognize more has only nve months but is already very big and it's beautiful!!
2- we were in Mazzola from my aunt in Tuscany for a week of holidays together
and the home side had the pool while we do not. At one point the neighbors seeing more and watched in their house invited us in the pool and it was great because we had entered all divertevamo us a lot, it's a memory that I will never forget, we samo enjoyed a lot !!

Make a list of 16 things that make you smile.
1- ice cream
2- strawberries
3- summer
4- pool
5- birthdays
6- concerts
7- dogs
8- Christmas
9- shopping
10- do stupid things with friends
11- sea
12- travel
13- visiting new places and have fun
14- You love Me
15- NYC

16- read

The words I’d like to live by are… honesty, love, friends, family.

I couldn’t imagine living without… peace, love, happiness, books, puppies, the war because, in spite of the people who die, we will not know peace if there were no war, sadness because we would not know the happiness.

LAST DAY OF CLASSES!!! HAPPY BUT SAD.

Today is Friday and it is the third to last day when Leah is here with us. I'm very so sorry to think that in only two days she'll be gone...
Now I am writing on our English blog and later this morning we will go over some of my IB work. I got to choose the book and I chose to work on Spanish with her. She took the same class when she was in school.
in this moment I'm happy, sad, and enthusiastic.
Happy because on Sunday I will go to Miami, sad because on Sunday we will to say goodbye (I hope to see you again in Miami) and enthusiastic because I'm so happy about this experience I got have with her. I really think that I have improved my English. I went from not really speaking English at home to hearing it during the entire day for the past three weeks. I have heard new words that I never knew before but also heard words that I did know but in a more normal way, in a conversation. Leah speaks about things that I like to speak about in Italian.

In this month of July, I hung out with my best friends Francesca and Federica.
Francesca was very happy and kind, while Federica was happy and in good shape.
I had to say bye to Federica unfortunately because we we will be attending different schools next year. She will be in Lecco and I will be attending school in Como.

I have been thinking about my dream house a lot these days. I think that it must have 14 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms. I would love a big garden WITH a swimming pool. It will also have a big kitchen, living room, a big dining room. In this house of mine there will be 20 waiters, a driver and 3 gardeners. I want to live in this house with my husband, Cameron Dallas.

On Sunday I will go to Miami and if I had to choose only 3 things to bring it would be my phone, money, and the best clothes. If I was ever stuck on an island, I would choose to be with Francesca, Federica and Cameron Dallas. We would all have fun with eachother.

Thinking about the school the subjects to end at school. I would probably get rid of History, Art, Science (in general) and Technology. On Wednesday afternoon, I visited my grandmother and her dog. If I were to have a dog, I would choose to have a maltese. His name would be Pongo!

Love,
Martina

St. Moritz: A Weekend in Switzerland

This weekend my family took a trip to St. Moritz, Switzerland. We went with Leah and our family friends.

We departed on Friday evening and ate at a restaurant called La Florida for dinner. This is a very good restaurant.

The second day we drove to St. Moritz town to give Leah an idea of where we were! There were a lot of shops and restaurants.

At 3:30, we drove to Zouz because my best friend is currently at a summer camp there. She is studying English and at camp until next Sunday. After picking her up, I went to the supermarket with Francesca (my BESTFRIEND) and our fathers. We bought groceries for dinner on this trip to the supermarket. Then, at 21:00 Francesca's mother took us back to the campus to drop Francesca off at camp! After we returned home, we ate dessert with all of our friends and went to sleep very late. We were in bed at 0:30.

On Sunday morning, we walked up to the glacier: MORTERATSCH!

In the afternoon, we went home. For dinner, we ate the watermelon. I enjoyed this weekend, it was very fun and funny!

Mini Post :)

I am not going to write a long blog post today. I have to run some tests because I have had a pretty bad asthmatic cough allergy for a while now.

This weekend, we went to Switzerland to visit our friends. It was Amazing! We went to the glacier Mortarash and it was fantastic show to Leah what landmarks we have near home.

The weekend was very relaxing and I got to spend a lot of time with Leah and Alessandra. I showed her the show we have been obsessed with, Gilmore Girls! She really enjoyed it and even asked us to play it in English with Italian subtitles. That was very interesting because she is so little and barely speaks any English. We ate a lot of cheese and chocolate, two things that Switzerland is famous for. I was sleepy during the car ride home and we had a relaxing evening before starting our school week.

After doing our blog posts today, Leah is showing us something called Mad Libs. Basically, Mad Libs is this game and activity where you fill in the blanks of a story without reading the story first. It is a good way to practice some new words we have learned. It also makes us use different types of grammar because of the past and present tense switching during the story. At the end, we will read the stories we helped write!

I am excited for this activity because the two topics Leah picked are especially interesting for us: one about Disney World and the other about someone's first day of school.

Schedule Change!

This morning instead of to write on the blog, we are going to Lecco for to do shopping on Subdued.

I bought a sweatshirt and a white silk shirt. It's so very pretty. Then, we returned at  home with my mum because it started raining raining. For lunch, we ate Cotolette and now I'm writting on the blog! I am not sure of our plans for the afternoon but I'm sure it will be fun.
