Nome: Eleonora Rivolta
Lola is my nickname since i was a child. My real name is Eleonora, i was born in Como, Italy, on 15th October 1985 and i am studying Literatures & Languages in Milan. I study English and Scandinavian Languages (Norwegian and Swedish) and was in a 6-months Erasmus in Kristiansand, Norway, from august 10th 2006 until december. I decided to create this blog to tell my experiences during it; the best time of my life! I love music, metal (my fave band is Blind Guardian) , and playing bass. My main inspiration are Cliff Burton (R.I.P.), Steve Harris, Lemmy' s raw style, and Faso from Elio & le storie tese , withouth any doubt Italy's best bass player and a true idol. I also play keyboards and I read a lot and my fave authors are Wilde, for his style, Goethe, for the emotions i find in his books, Tolkien, for his stories, and Nietzsche, for his truths. I also love movies, from Dead Poets Society, Lotr, Braveheart and Almost Famous; to American Pie and Road Trip. Even though i study Norwegian, my biggest dream is finding a cool Finnish boy and live with him in his beautiful country,which i think is magic:P I also did some journalism job in the musical field and i'd like to keep being metal journalist, and maybe to teach italian to foreigners... in North Europe, of course!

june: swedish, written parts of norwegian and english exams
september: english oral, italian language lab.
october: norwegian oral, history of english theater
december: scandinavian medieval literature, norwegian monographic
january: russian literature, english literature, asking for the final essay
february: history of philosophy
... and i managed to respect it perfectly!
For someone who has a weak will as me, it's really a satisfation... considering the fact that in Erasmus i practically lost 6 months, if i manage to get my degree this year (and i hope so... if not in jun e, at least in december) would be a great success!!!
When many aspect of life go so and so (i refer mainly to love 
, but also to some friendships and to the fact that i'm not the most active and positive person in the world, even if i try not to be depressed when it's not necessary) seeing that in some other fields you are doing good (university, travels when i have the money XD) is so great 
The 2 exams that i miss are quite hard (germanic philology and scandinavian literature) but i'll try to do my best!
to Erasmus friends: I MISS YOU!
to everyone reading: why you never comment? but thanx for reading =)

I finally did that thing I should have done about 4 years and a half ago and I feel sooooooooooooooooo light...
Egoism can have many shapes, it can even look like its opposite. And sometimes it's way easier to suffer than to decide not to suffer anymore, because it implicates a change, the death of a part of us.
but at least I learnt the lesson, or I hope so... not to hide feelings or think it's too late to say something!
Now I' m a new Lola and ready to fight again (or maybe, for the first time) for my happiness 
because I finally accepted the fact that I deserve it, as well as any other person!
The path is only at the beginning, but a journey of thousand miles begins with one step...
Here i am again, after a quite long time...
I just want to let you know how my life is going, and also cause i need to write something in english, or my use of this language will gradually disappear=P
It's not a very exciting period i'm going through... i feel it more like a period of "preparation" for something, a period of change.
Not many things are happening in my life but the actions i'm doing now may become very important in the future.
First of all, i "only" miss 3 exams and the final paper to finish my University: and so I' m hoping to finish this summer, or more probably this winter. In every case i can finally see the end of this road and i'll have to decide what to do later. Continuing with my dreams of going abroad, to do some language course or a work experience... or trying joining a master in Italy to teach italian abroad when i finish it... or just looking for a job here and when i have more money trying to move somewhere. We'll see 
By the way, my final work should be about the Pre-raphaelites and especially the work "Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti. It's a great poetry, it looks like a simple poetry for children but it has a strong message towards the victorian moral about sexuality.
One other thing i had to do from about four ages is i wrote to the guy that i like from all this time, all the truth about my feelings towards him. I don't know if he read it and i'm quite afraid about it because I hadn't chanches with him and he could treat me with indifference from now on... but I had too many remorses not to do anything, I had to do it, sooner or later.
And just as 2008 started I also started a diet... and maybe now it's the right time. I lost 3,5 kilos in the first month, it will be a long way, but i have faith. I' m also reconsidering starting again some sports... i would like so much to start again karate, but I'm not ready for this yet=P 
What else... In this period a bit of my frustration depends from the fact i 'm not travelling since november. For me it's too much XD But when i finish the exams i have in my plans Berlin, Finland again, and other things, can't wait =)
And if anyone is still reading... Cheers
