Ok, I am now obsessed with this pianist. Like, he's literally Liszt in Kafka's body...I love him.
Day 6, second quadrimester
No school today. Slept till 9, about, and then...emergency. One of the most important guys in the Dante Day project left it (my deskmate). We were desperate, and spent all the morning trying to reorganise everything. Luckily, we found another guy and managed to get through all this.
Not much to say. Revised some Physics, English Grammar and Chemistry, but nothing special.
In the evening, went with a friend to a Lectura Dantis, and honestly, my opinion on that is...bruh. It was about Inferno, Canto XXXI, maade by an UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR. Still it was...a bit more than a paraphrase. Yes, the Canto was beautiful, interesting, but...the explanation was pretty scholastic. Not, absolutely, deep, a few references to classics and nothing more. Sincerely, my Italian Literature teacher (not the one who I have now, but the previous, who is temporarily replaced by this one) has made widely better and deeper explanations on various Canti, and I am in high school. It was also a social event, though, so somehow useful. The deconsacrated church where it has been done was so beautiful, I took some photos (not too many, didn't want to seem a tourist in my city), and visited the crypt.
It was raining, and we only had an half-broken umbrella, so we went in a chocolate and coffee shop nearby, which also has board games, cards, chess, etc., and played chess while sipping a delicious hot chocolate with halzenuts and biscuits. I was about to win (she's not that good, I had hundreds of possibilities to end the game before, but I wanted to teach her some techniques), when we looked at the clock: we had to go, it was so late! We took a picture of the chessboard and promised to finish the game the next time.
Strange day, tiring... but, after all, definitely worth it. And, I really felt like an academic, walking in the rain with my friend and talking about Dante, between ancient buildings and churchs, going to play chess in front of a hot chocolate... to be made more often!
So..bye : )
