As far as getting back into a routine, I have finally begun working. Therefore my weeks will be taking on a new element, and I couldn’t be happier. After looking for a job for months on end, I found something that will probably be temporary (at least until I figure out what to do with my visa). But it feels really good to have somewhere to go each day, and responsibility and making some much-needed money. It really gives me the sense of building my own life here, and relying on myself. I love that.

This week will be a busy one, what with working 6 days a week and my impending visit to the Questura to pick up my permesso di soggiorno. While there, I will try to get some information about changing my visa. Cazz will go with me for moral support. I hope then I will know more (about the visa, that is). Only time will tell. Until then, today is my day off. My big plans include a gym class and cleaning my room. It’s a bit too cold to spend the day outside, but then again, it’s a bit too cold to spend the day in this cold apartment, so perhaps I will go and enjoy the bustle of the city coming to life in time for Spring.
