Sport

This is the last essay of the 2011, so I talk about the sport, precisely about my favourite one, the soccer.
Actually I think american football is pretty nice, but it isn't absolutely comparable with the soccer, obviously to me.
In Europe the soccer is undoubtedly the most popular sport, but I think in whole world too.
I like both playing it both watching on TV it. It's very spectacular, because each game always offers surprises and just as many twists. You cannot know how a game it will finish. Often the last place team tie or beat the first one in the standings.
My favourite team in Italy is the Juventus, the best italian team of ever. They are the team that won more championships and national cups in Italy (29 championships and 9 national cups). The Juventus rival team is Inter (the second team of Milano). Actually I hate them. They could win only by sending panlizing Juventus and Milan.
Anyway, FORZA JUVENTUS!

What is something you find annoying?

What annoys me a lot, is when I have to wake up at 5 o' clock in the morning. I really hate get up so early, when the sun isn't rise yet and especially

What I wish change of myself

If I could change something of myself, for sure, I'd change my character, because sometimes I'm too shy. I would like to be more crazy, talk with everyone without thoughts. Actually I don't care, I think the shy persons are more polite than the uninhibited persons. This is my own opinion.

Plans for the future

For sure, I'll spend my Christmas Day with whole my family. I need to stay with them, I haven't seen the for three months. We usually spend every year the Christmas Day in a house (or my house, or my cousin's house or my grandma's house). I really like this Day. After that, I'll go out my friends on December 26th. On December 27th I'm leaving with my closest friends for the mountain, where we are skiing and we'll have a lot of fun.We likely should be back at January 3rd. Next semester probably i'll come back here to study in the same school, CSUF.

Plans for Thanksgiving vacation

I think i am staying at home for the Thanksgiving holiday. Likely i spend a lot of time with my American family. I think i'm going to gym, like everyday, and I hope to play soccer with my classmates. If I had a car i could travel, go with some of friends of mine around the California, like in San Diego, Santa Monica, or in Vegas, but unfortunately I don't have the car, so I have to stay at home. I think it's boring stay at home all day long, but I hate travel with bus or with tre train.
I really hope to spend a great Thanksgiving holiday!

Something of interesting i learned in the ALP

My favourite class in the American Language Program is the Vocabulary class, because in this class I learned, and I will learn, a lot of words and idioms  American people use. Some of these are similar in Italian language, for example "You eat like an horse" (Mangi come un cavallo), but others are very different, and sometimes don't even exist. Those idioms are widely used in the spoken English, so I learned them, they were very useful to understand what the other people are talking about.

Thanksgiving

This is the first time I celebrate the Thanksgiving Day. In Italy we are not used to feast this Day. I know the American people usually make a turkey. I think I should be thankful first of all with God, because he gave me a united family, parents who love me, a great brother, and wonderful grandparents. I am thankful because I can eat regularly every day. Sometime I think of the poor African persons, who die of starvation. I am thankful also for my cousin, who is hosting me at his house, allowing to me to do this unforgettable experience and to celebrate the Thanksgiving Day. At the end, I would thank my friends, because they are very nice and with them I spent fantastic moments and I'm sure and I will enjoy other ones.

Blog Journal

If i could change places with any person for a day, i would be David Beckham. He is one of the most popular person on the world right now: he is not only a very good player (he plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy) but he is also famous for other reasons. I think everyone knows him, because he has done a lot of publicity for the most popular brands, like Pepsi, Emporio Armani, Vodafone, Adidas a some others. He is moreover appeared in the three movies of "Goal! 1", "Goal! 2", "Goal! 3". He has supported the UNICEF, so i think he is actually magnanimous, not only famous and rich. An other reason why I would be him is that he's married with Victoria Adams, ex Spice-Girls. She is maybe one of the most beautiful women on the world. Anyway, if I could be him for a day, I would play a soccer game in the Los Angeles Stadium and I would try what he feels every game to be a star and probably the most powerful player on his team.

Journal #20

American universities are completely different from Italian universities. In the USA, schools are like mini cities where you can find every kind of thing like soccer, football, baseball field, Starbucks, Carl's Jr, the gym, and the swimming pool. This is unbelievable for an Italian student. We are used to very small universities (like four or five builidngs), so you stay in the school only to study. In Cal State University, Fullerton you can meet and know a lot of people (expecially girls!). It's fantastic because you can meet people from everywhere, not only Americans. In my old high-school, we had about six-seven hundred students, so in a few days i met everyone.. It was boring!The only one thing I really don't like in the USA is that you can't go to clubs until you're twenty-one years old. In Italy you can go in clubs whenever you want. There isn't a minimum age.

London

If I caould, i would spend the New Year's Eve in England, precisely in London. Maybe, at the moment, London is, maybe, the most important city in Europe. Everyone wants go there, because is really beatiful. You can see the Big-Bang, a very famous tower with a clock, which didin't stopped even the Second World War. A particularity of the England is the driving on the left, so you must be very careful. An other thing that you can likely find only in England (maybe in other some country) are the double-decker bus, which have become a national symbol of Britain. England moreover is the "homeland" of the soccer (I'm a soccer lover) so i could visit some fields, like Stamford Bridge (Chelsea's stadium), Emirates Stadium (Arsenal's stadium), White Hart Lane (Tottenham's one) and each other. I would visit London with my friends, with them I have evrytime a lot of fun (last year I was in Prague, Czech Republic, with them). An other reason to go there is because I can practice my English, now infact I can talk with the people and I can understand what they tell me! So, i really hope to go there!

Halloween

{...} We went inside, sat down and started to eat a chocolate bar. When the door opened and making a loud noise, we thought that was the wind. Conversely we saw a terrible zombie, which was more than 2 meters tall and weighed maybe 200 kilograms. He clutched an enormous sickle on the right hand, while on the left.. well, he didn't have the left one. His body was full of scars and blood dripping; the eyes, he was seeing us. Suddenly he started to walk toward us. We attempted to run however we trapped.. there weren't doors close us. The monster cut the head of Kebo, when.. the alarm clock rang. It was only a dream..

Good Leader

Today's Journal - 10/19 - "What are characteristics of a good leader? Give reasons and examples to support your response." Please type this in your blog. You have 30 minutes for this.

The most important thing for a leader is he knows how to lead a group of person. He must have personality and charm, and sometimes also force. He must appeals to the person: so he shouldn't absolutely be annoying or he shouldn't flaunt his position. However he must give the charge to the friends and he must figure out when his friends are in difficulty. He hasn't be afraid to help someone and he should respect everyone, because if you respect the other person, they are respecting you. This is, in my opinion, the perfect leader. I think I am not a leader, maybe because in my company there isn't a leader, but we are all leaders! This is the reason because we are agree for each other.
