    Feeling really low today. The last month has been really tough, leaving Venice, the first city where I made great friends and felt like I belonged. Then, right before Christmas, I lost my beloved Nonna. I have been so busy I have just been pushing through and not thinking about it, but I feel it today. At least the PhD work today is funnish finishing off the speech and PowerPoint for a conference next week, I always enjoy making powerpoints.

      Do you think you’ll head back to Venice in the near future? It sounds like you’d love to go back and stay for a while. If you’re under 30 maybe you could go on a working holiday visa.

        In the midst of my citizenship application (it was actually approved, but nonna dying means I need to resubmit the documents), I am doing everything I can to be able to go back permanently it’s where I want to spend the rest of my life. Just difficult cause there is only one Uni there, so academic work is limited, so I need to really get in the good books with that one uni lol.

          I totally forgot you had citizenship by descent as an option. Well it sounds like you’re on your way there and ticking all the right boxes - that’s got to be something very exciting to look forward to once you’ve finished your PhD! Would you be trying to take the cats over?
