I'm doing so many new things. Really, a lot of them. Through June I'm doing an internship. I work at the America Palace Hotel out at the Eur, where there's the Laurentina metro stop. I work at the reception desk. On the first day I worked on making room keys. I'm really happy and my coworkers are nice. I put on my uniform and do my hair. When I need to I tie up my long hair, but I don't like tying it up. The uniform is nice and comfortable—jacket, shirt, pants, and shoes. But I take it off as soon as I leave. I go in the mornings. Except Wednesdays, when I go to the Professional Center. That's what it's called. They teach us how to work. Kind of like school, but not really like school. There's a classroom with desks, but it's not the same thing. I don't like that school is over. I miss my classmates and teachers so much. I had so much fun there. I went with a friend for a walk in Trastevere to see the school from outside on via della Paglia because I miss it. But then I'm doing other new things. I'm taking another music course with the violin where they teach me the notes. I really love it. And I always go to the White Hands choir in Testaccio. Then I do Latin dancing, which is fun too because we go eat pizza and dance. Besides playing soccer and doing artistic gymnastics, I play padel. I did a tournament recently at via della Nocetta. I'm going back because I'm really good and I hit really hard. I had fun and didn't want to stop, but then other people wanted to play on the court. I got mad and said some curse words because sometimes you just have to. In padel you play in groups of four, which is really nice because there are always a lot of us. Padel isn't tiring because you stay still. I get tired running when we play soccer, so I always stay in one spot and wait for them to pass me the ball. Running makes me tired. It's better if I run less. But in gymnastics too you stay still and do exercises.
So Many New Things
