Scuola Holden: A New Start

I have now started school. This is the second week, it feels like Hogwarts! Of course, as all young book worms, Harry potter used to be my reason to live. That said, you can imagine what a compliment comparing “Scuola Holden” to Hogwarts is.

It isn’t easy. I’m not going to say it is. I’ve been offline for a while and the main reason behind this was: I was having fun. I was on holiday, trying new foods, learning to live again… I made it through the summer and now I’m here. I’ve reached the milestone I have been waiting for. I’m starting my new life.

Of course, my old life hasn’t disappeared. Do I feel fat? Honestly, yes. Do I want to lose weight? I’m not conformable with my new weight, I do. Will I lose weight? Hopefully not, but I’m fighting. I have slipped up, but I keep fighting. I want to become a writer, that’s my goal and what I need to remember.

As far as social anxiety goes, I was definitely over worrying. I love this place. I love the people. How many people can you discuss Dostoevsky with? Discuss what the meaning of nothing or discuss Plato and the world of ideas? (Actually, I can answer that question: not many. Who want to anyways? You have to be as quirky as me to crave these conversations). I feel at home, even if I’ve only been here a week.

I’m hopeful. This feels right: the school, the lessons, the writing, the students… I will do everything I can to make the most of this wonderful experience.

On that note: this blog is officially and, this time, not sporadically starting again. I will be posting a couple of times a week and hope you readers accompany me in this wonderful experience.

Yours Sincerely,

Dysfunctional Girl
