FarFireworks

The far sound of fireworks...that's the end of LaMercé. Tomorrow I will be at work at 8.30am and I won't even remember I have been on holidays for some days. Coffee, cereals, emails, phone call, orange juice, yellow post-it, another call, a magazine, a meeting...hopefully Friday will come soon.
The last two days were good! Yesterday I finally saw Elisa after two years, she has just moved to BCN thanks to an ErasmusScholarship and she needed a friend who could tell her that moving to another country is difficult at the beginning only. It's true...I mean, on April, 10th 2005 I packed up and left Italy with a one-way ticket, not with a one-year scholarship, and I was very happy I was brave enough to do that, but at the same time I was really scared by the big question mark that was waiting for me in BCN. At the passport control of MXP I wondered if it was a smart move, if I would be strong enough to build a new life on my own, if I could make it in business school...but the confusion lasted 60 seconds only. I was sooooo ready to go! Plus Ben was waiting for me in Spain...that was the sweetest thing he has ever done for me in more than three years. I will never forget sitting on my red suitcase outside his building when he finally showed up, Ben and his long blond hair...
I don't know if I have ever thanked him for coming to BCN with me last year in April, for giving me a don't-worry-everything-will-be-fine hug, for having me, for taking me out with Manu, for making sure that I was ok, that I had a nice house and good flatmates, that I was doing fine at school, that I was ready to start a new life. Maybe I have never told him how much I appreciated that hug and that smile on the first day of my new life...
Well, I don't think Ben will ever get here, to this Blog, but in case he does...

Thank you for being here when I needed you, you're a special person to me.
