Venice on Saturday was
dozens of adorable tiny dogs,
women in summer dresses and men in jackets,
a particularly good cannolo (second in my life) from a random bakery,
vaporetto stopping at the other side of the Giardini where we discovered the house with the number 1 (it has something to do with the military),
calmness of Lido,
Mahler's Third Symphony & Oliver Mandić's "Smejem se, a plakao bih" (one of the most mindblowingly brilliant pop songs I've ever heard),
planning to steal a tea bag of Twinings from a bar at Arsenale next to the Greek lions and then forgetting about it,
walking around without any "obligations" (camera, phone -- the photo above is old),
tagliatelle alla busara and carpaccio for lunch,
realizing that Venice actually smells really bad (something I stopped noticing years ago),
frantically scanning bookstores and regretting the limits of my Italian,
thinking that in less than a week I will be in London, skipping university,
and many other things.
Today was my first day of university. I felt like writing this down somewhere.

I hope I can get into uni :)
So nice shots and I wish you the best time at the uni!
Many kisses friend :)
Love the realisations :) and I hope you have a great time at uni
Eva, good luck in this new chapter of your life! Cheers! :)
I've never been at Venice, it looks like a wonderful place...
I wish you the best at your uni!! And thank you for your sweet comment; yes, the fabric of the skirt is gorgeous, I really love it and I think that's gonna be one of my skirt for this winter!
Just some random thoughts / questions on your post: 1) how was your carpaccio? (I love carpaccio); 2) does "Smejem se, a plakao bih" mean something like: I'm laughing but I feel like crying; 3) how was your 1st day at uni? (I always find them pretty nighmarish).
love Venice picture! :)
The last photo is really cool! :-)
XoXo
love that hugo pratt illustration at the bottom. my ipod is my life too!
have fun and good luck at university!!!

1) There's this restaurant on the island of Lido called Gran Viale which has the best carpaccio ever - the rest of the menu is up to par as well and we always go there. So yes, it was beyond delicious, all of it.
2) It means exactly that. How did you know? ;)
3) My first ever class at uni was canceled without prior notice and the rest of the day was strange like that too. I have a ton of gaps between classes so I cycled from home to uni and back 3 times. All in all it was a pretty versatile mix of recreation and literature. :D
I love Venice!!
Olga,
mwwas!
I speak Polish so just guessed :) I had the exact same experience of gaps between classes in my first undergrad year (I studied literature too so perhaps that's what we all have to go through).
I remember my first and only trip to venice, like, four or five years ago?, and not liking it as much as anyone said they did. Like thinking, what was all the fuss about? But then again, i was far too young, and far too distracted, and maybe far too Italian to even notice. And venice was FAR TOO CROWDED. :)
aww Uni. I can't wait until Uni, seriously. Though i guess I'm pretty much enjoying my years at lyceum- these last two, at the very least- but then again i might just be saying this because I ain't stressed yet and I haven't had any tests till now :D

Tania,
This year we were also there on the day of the carnival (by accident) and it was truly horrible, a mistake we probably won't repeat. I actually prefer not to be there at all when it's really crowded.
What do you want to study, by the way?
Beautiful photo.
Venice was one of the greatest expierences of my life- It was lifechanging, in fact, for me. I love to travel and it's great you're experiencing such a fantastic city (:
I remember being lost in Venice with my friends in my trip to Italy with my school in 2oo2 :) it was amazing, I loved it :)
How couldn't I follow you before? Congrats for your blog, it's really great, I'm loving it:)
Good luck at uni, I'm sure it'll be ok:)

Good Luck at the University!!! have a great time... I´ve been to Venice on February for the Carnival... the worst pizza of my life... :)
I like your photos very much....
mene pa zanima, kaj si začela študirat. (:
in tisti ovitek mi je zelo všeč.
no, sem prebrala par vrtic nižje... (:
jaz sem letos absolventka (ne književnosti:) in je kar malo čuden občutek - nič predavanj, nič obveznosti, nič študijskega vzdušja in čajev s kolegi. krep.
AHHH! I want to visit Venice. Funny what you said about stealing the tea bag. ;)
xoxo

Mahler i Oliver Mandić? Otkud ta veza? A Olivera me nakon par godina neslušanja iznenadio visokom razinom produkcije, zapravo svjetskom razinom produkcije.
It sounds like you had an amazing time in Venice. I wish I could have joined you!
Gorgeous images. I want to spend Sunday in Venice.
I hope you had a wonderful first day.

Venice was beautiful with its colourful buildings, different bridges and tiny pathways. Though I agree that it's much too crowded! I wonder how many true Venetians are still staying there!!
Hope your first day in uni went well! Must be pretty exciting:)
That first picture is literally perfection.
tell us how uni is!
bet it will be great

pisanje na hrvatskom, u blogger sferi? mislila sam da je gotovo nemoguće, ali onda sam naišla na tebe, i ostavila ti komentar na engleskom. bit će da je čista navika. baš mi je drago što sam nabasala na tebe :) a što se tiče mog češćeg tipkanja, nekako me nezaposlenost baca u depresiju pa nemam volje, iako bi mi baš bloganje trebalo biti razonoda...
lovely photos! congrats on starting university =)
I started uni monday,good luck !love the glasses
Venice sounds fabulous, minus the smell. :)
Good luck at university!
WOW! VENICE, seems solely CHARMING! I hope your first day of classes are interesting!!!:)))

very beautiful pictures :) and gd luck with uni!
Awwh great pictures, i wish i can visit to Venice someday :)
Ahhh me too i just started a few days ago :D
I love the first picture! What a beautiful place :)
Gorgeous images! I adore Venice. I went there for the first (and only time) a few years ago and I was pleasantly surprised. I was worried it would be too touristy and tacky, but it was so relaxing to not have any cars in the center and walk around the small streets along the canals. It really did make me forget about the rest of the world...
Oh I love Venice ;)
Gorgeous photos! I would love to visit Venice. You make it sound so common and so great at the same time.

u seem to have such a great and busy life ^^
hope u had a good time in london
