Back from Milan

This week I had the opportunity to go to Milan for work. Unfortunately we spend most of the time doing what we were supposed to...working.

We also stayed about 40km outside the city so there wasn’t really much to do. We did get the opportunity to walk around the city for about 6 hours on our last day. We did surprisingly well to navigate the shuttles, trains and metro. I guess if you can do it in Londen and Paris you can do it in Milan. We further walked a lot and got to see the Opera house, one big ass castle and the famous Cathedral. We tried to see the Last Supper, but unfortunately it was too busy and we were running out of time. Italy did intrigue me enough so that I'll make a return visit one of these days.

Currently work has become seriously hectic and I’m still hitting the books every day for my UNISA exams. Maybe I should start studying and stop hitting my text books. It might help.

My social life and family life is basically non existent. Anyway, if things go well, a month from now everything would have quiet down. I just have to keep at it.

Sounds hectic! My boyfriend worked in Pisa twice and NEVER even went to go see the leaning tower. This is a crime in my view.

What are you studying via UNISA? I am studying with them too, but took a break this year and am thinking of quitting cos I am not so impressed about certain aspects of their courses.

BCom - Final year. Working and studying at the same time sucks.

If you want to make it for the last supper you have to make a booking. ;-D

We did a tour around the top half of Italy in July & it was awesome. Try & make it back again skat, you'll definitely enjoy it :-)

Good luck with the studies!

All the best with the studies. living with a fulltime student and seeing his stress, I can't begin to imagine how crap it is to fit both work and studying in!

I'm jealous - I've always wanted to go to Italy! And good luck with those studies!
