Today I was kind of busy with my father(and with Romance of Three Kingdoms III), but except for that, I think I've been almost productive enough.
I started my paper, bu there is no link between the poem and the stuff I wrote. The link between them will be clear as I will write about An Lushan rebellion ecc.ecc.
you can download the .txt file from here if you are interested.
Today's hours of study: 1,50 ca.

Quiet day of incostant studies
oday I discovered I still have some time before I'll reach the deadline of the assignment(one week before October 15).
I found a new way to learn about chinese history: these amazing documentaries!
I even sent to my professor a mail, proposing her some ideas about the work I'm doing and asking her which ones does she like the most (between a work on the story of Xuanzong of Tang and the An Lushan rebellion or something about Zheng He and the maritime explorations made by the Chinese).
The only problems are:
-here is kind of difficult to obtain informations about the history of China on paper, and professors really like to have "real" books in the bibliography. This is why I'll go to Bologna as soon as I can.
-that professor wants people to study the stuff written on the photocopies she wrote...and I don't have that photocopies.
Hours of study: not sure about that, one or two, but I was not concentrated

2nd day of preparation
Today it was a strange day.
A bit cloudy (it rained also, but just for 2 minutes) but still pleasant. The clouds resembled me the ones in G.B.Tiepolo paintings, and I was expecting something like this to come out of them.
But it was also a productive day: I took a 2008 calendar and signed all my future exams, like this:

I also started to find informations about Emperor Xuanzong of Tang(唐玄宗) and his favourite concubine Yang Yuhuan (楊玉環), because I've been told that that professor really likes gossip.
My next exam will be "Storia e Geografia della Cina"(History and Geography of China) and here you can find the link to the exam description.
Today's hours of study: half an hour (I'm making progresses)

Zia Rita: A New Hope
You all know that, due to
-the financial crisis,
-the increasing power of fascism in my country,
-the low quality of italian universities,
-the fact that I want to start a band and/or be an artist and fuck as many underage girls I can before I get too old to do that without legal consequencies
and
-the fact that I hate northern Italy and italians in general
I decided to quit the university and either find a job or play music or be an artistoid escort in some "northern european rich country".
So I told my parents about my decision and they were pretty much convinced that
it was
-as always in this period of the year an over-intensification of my existential problems
-that they had enough
and
-that I could do whatewer I wanted, but that I always choose the difficult and wrong way and that I am never satisfied, I never finish things, etc.
After some hours of fear and loathing I was still pretty sure about that: go somewhere (possibly the Netherlands), find a job and then study music.
But I didn't realize the Zia Rita factor.
Zia Rita is my auntie.
She kind of raised me, because my mom was often working and had no time.
She loves me.
So, the morning after the harsh argument with my parents, she opened my room door and said, after a long pause, that she was going to give me 5000€ in case I would graduate before my 22nd birthday.
I was really excited and moved for that, and after some 5 minutes I told her to write this will on a sheet of paper, with this result.
This made me change my mind. Immediately. With 5000 euros I can live in the Netherlands some time and keep studying music.
So, I only have 70 credits. I need 105 more credits to succeed, as shown in this chart(the exams in green are the one I've already done).
These are the dates of the exams.
To obtain 105, I need severe discipline.
That's why I'll count the hours I spent studying in one day.
Today's are 0.
