Old school nostalgia.

Last day of school today. Everything seems to have gone by too fast! It feels like only yesterday that we arrived in Milan in dreary winter, italian crash course and being completely foreign in a new country.

Here's Bocconi, painted in nostalgia:

In between classes where everyone crowds at the doorway smoking you have a hard time going through. Smokeeyyy.




The most well known myth of Bocconi: Anyone who walks through the entrance in between the two lions wont graduate! No one walks through really. I was walking out of school with Julienn and heading towards the middle when he pulled me to the side!


On our way to school / the bus-stop



Fashion class with our fashion teacher -she's got the flattest tummy ever.


The new school building: Study corners outside the classrooms (with immovable chairs) / cafeteria


Old building's cafeteria which has loveelyyy chocolate brioches & veryvery thick hot chocolate :)


Taxi Blues! A cafe near school where all the Bocconi students hang out to eat and talk.


Too bad we didn't get a picture of the computer lab in school. The printing there is crazy and a huge headache. Everyone crowds around one printer and it's really messy with papers strewn everywhere. The printer shoots out a paper with the printer logo, time etc in between each print job so you can imagine the amount of paper wastage!

Anyway Sister Jo told us the other day that Bocconi came out in the top 5 of some university listing and that it's really well know in Europe. Yay to us :)

The thing I love about Milan is that something new's always happening :) Sunday was filled with light tans under the glorious sunshine, sports carnival at the castle and iceless ice-skating!

On the way back, we caught Andrea Bocelli practising at the duomo square for his outdoor concert the next day:




Goood sunday with the girls. Milan's pretty cool, imperfections and all. I realised we got to see three seasons - winter, spring and now, SUMMER. it's been a lovely&awesome transition. I'm all ready to take on the world when im back!

Sunny island, hear me roar.
