Mirc - Well, you're (at least) still going to Italy and the USA, right?
I've been to Italy already.

I returned yesterday. I won a special prize, but didn't make it in the top three unfortunately. However, I do believe I have a very good chance next year, and with such a huge festival it would be an honor even to be among those top 3 without winning anything.
Yes, to answer your question, I'm still going to the USA, and then after 12 days of staying there I'm still flying directly to London and then directly to Madrid, but this is indeed 100% related to my trip to the USA.
And I feel a little, little bit better now, probably being so tired plays tricks on my mind as if I was drunk.

Still, I only have 1 hour to sleep until I have to wake up (I have to wake up ridiculously early since I have school in the morning this year), so it'll be pretty bad when I'll have to wake up. But anyway I can't go to sleep yet... It's quite possible that I won't sleep 1 second tonight. Who cares, anyway, as I said I'm feeling a bit better right now.
Edit: Crosspost with j_eps. Thanks a lot for the reply!!
Well, without knowing what you are talking about I offer my symathy, but not empathy cause that doesnt work in this instance.
Feel better, and
