exam done

On october 16 i did my exam. Not bad: 26/30.
We talked about internal policy of Yuan dinasty, about esternal influences in Tang China and neo-confucianism in Qing intellectual world. She said my work on An Lushan was "non malaccio" that means "not a complete shit".

I've been so bad these last 7 days. I didn't study a lot, but I sent my paper on time, and the professor looked kind of happy with it. The only problem is that I have to study about 6000 years of chinese history in 3 days.

well.
On saturday every library was closed because of some dumb catholic festivity so I went to a small park in the university area, in Via San Leonardo, and studied on a small and old History of China the periodization of pre-republican China.
time of study:about 3 hours.

On Sunday I woke up kind of late(about 11 or so) but then I studied a lot and my paper is now this big. I also realised that I had to get the Cambridge History of China about Sui and Tang dinasties.
time of study:3-4h

2 days in Bologna

2 october
Just arrived in Bologna, I didn't study at all. I was either on a train or in Rome or in my bed. I just tried to finish "This is your brain on music" by Daniel J.Levitin and I didn't succeed. Not very productive day
3 october
I studied about 4 hours, I'm kind of proud of myself. I almost finished my paper on An Lushan rebellion.

Centro Anziani day

Today my morning was not very productive, but my afternoon was.
I kept writing about An Lushan's rebellion, and I'm writing lots of stuff that I will surely eliminate soon. But I decided that this is my strategy: to write a lot of useless informations about Emperor Xuanzong's life and palace intrigues so that I'll make the paper smaller in the end.
I even started an account book where to write all my unpretentious economic moves.
Today's hours of study: about 2.
P.S.: that teacher still didn't answer my mail
