Sorry for disappearing again, but I'm still getting used to the new computer. This afternoon Windows updated and the whole thing collapsed on itself for a couple of hours. It seems like I did some magic and it's now working fine, but I have this nagging suspicion it's just waiting for me to turn my back so that it can throw another tantrum.
The cold didn't go away, so I called my doctor, we changed my meds, and for the first time in two weeks I feel a bit better. I'm not out of the woods yet, and he made me promise I'll call him if I get any fever, but at least it doesn't hurt anymore, so yay. Yesterday I talked a lot, which probably didn't help my sore throat, but I went to Padova to visit two friends of mine I hadn't seen in months, and we had so much to talk about. It was a fantastic, sunny day, we had pizza and ice-cream and walked all over town. Padova is where my university is, and now everytime I visit something else has changed, it's always weird and bittersweet. For example, yesterday I found out they dissolved the Geography Department. It used to be this amazing, medieval library full of maps, but since it was just a couple of professors they thought it wasn't worth the cost, or something crazy like that, and pulled the plug. It was very depressing.
Don't get me wrong, new departments aside I had a lovely time. The weather was so warm and wonderful we went to Prato Della Valle and sat in the sun while eating our ice cream. Then we did a quick stop at the Sant'Antonio Cathedral and bought some sweets. We walked so much I almost fell asleep in the train on the way back! Not as spry as I was when I was eighty, indeed. :D
In other news yesterday we had the Winter Soldier-related Agents of Shield episode, and I found it to be unbelievably boring. Which probably has more to do with me and the fact that I just can't seem to care about these new characters. I love it when they do cameos, and find everything else really boring, especially the love triangles. To be fair I didn't even care what was going to happen to Skye a few episodes back, so maybe it means this show just doesn't do it for me.
