hi there! these are my new web pages - i originally decided to update my website in summer 2002 in order to try and make it more mature and more user-friendly. i wasn't planning to have it completed and online in english and french until the end of summer 2003 and then in italian the following year. however, in order to use these pages as examples on application forms (it is graduation year, after all!), i have tried to get them to a point where they are suitable to be seen in public. i doubt very much that these pages will change much (at least the online version) between now and summer, and they are far from being completed. some of the pages have been written as if it is already summer 2003 - you'll notice that if you come accross it, and a few of the links may be down. so i hope these pages are reasonably easy to use, and i hope you don't have too much trouble navigating around them. oh yeah, and i apologise for the incredible amount of advertising etc on the pages - if you just shrink the banner up the top, it shouldn't reappear. when i'm rich enough, i'll get pages without advertising!
