This morning a member of the American consulate of Milan came to University to talk to us about the education system in the US and how universities are there. I was thrilled and excited by his speech, looking at the presentation and all the different opportunities which are there just waiting for us to take them, and I was like "hey, I've got to do something about!" because it would be a dream to cross the Atlantic and live there, talk, listen to AmE anytime, anywhere... It would be a great opportunity to improve my vocabulary and speaking skills!
And now I'm just feeling discouraged because I know it would be hard...not just for the money (quite a big problem, though), but also for the tests and requirements and all that stuff. Sometimes I don't believe in my potentials and I just give up. Next year it'll be the year of my degree (my BA)...and I know there are lots of things I don't know yet! Studying here at home or at university is not enough, I should go abroad and learn and listen and be able to talk about anything in a fluent English. Not mentioning French, of course! I should improve it as well... I don't know. Any advice?? :)
