Hello Folks!
How are you doing?
Here everything is going very well!
There are several stuff that I would like to share with you and the matter is that I don’t know exactly where to start!
Last time I wrote you was before the Spring Break (end of march, beginning of april).
For that period we had a week off and we planned to move toward the South of California! Angela, a friend of mine from Italy (one of my best friends who "lived" with me the years of University overcoming together small and huge difficulties!!), joined Emanuele (my Sardinian flat mate) and me in this adventure!
We drove all along the coast on the “highway 1”. What’s wonderful view!!
We did the “17miles drive” a nice private road among unbelievable mansions, beaches, woods and golf courses.

We stopped also in san Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Santa Barbara where we rented a funny bike for driving on the path near the beach!
Then we moved to Santa Monica (where we got lost in the middle of a film set on the Pier), and to LA, where we met Miguel, Spaniard Fulbright scholar, known in march at the Fulbright seminar in San Francisco (thanks Miguel, you have been a really professional guide!!!!).
Finally we drove to San Diego(is pretty drive in the LA nearby!!!) where we met Elisabetta e Valentina (I was missing them so much!!) and Chiara,a friend of Elisabetta from Italy.
On Saturday night we flew back to San Jose, on Sunday Angela left and on Monday our”normal life” started again! I don’t think that we could define a really normal life the experience we are living here in these six months!
Anyway, we started the spring quarter and we are attending three courses. These are very interesting and focused on the reason why we are here! In fact, among these course(strategic marketing and accounting) we are attending a Business Planning course customize just for us! It’s both interesting and very challenging! First of all because we are only five students, that is to say that the professor could really help each one of us in our specific project (and also it means that you have to pay attention every single second!!!??). Moreover the final aim of this course is to create the business plan of our scientific project and to prepare ourselves for the famous Elevator Pitch!!!!
