Once Again, Goodbye

I don't mind all your bad weather 
The Donkeys 

Time is over. From now on, no matter where I live, I will miss at least two places in the world. Thank you SoCal (and Northern California too! check out the video I made below), it was like sooooo ààà!wesome.

A new chapter is waiting...

Goodbye, Amsterdhome

Time it makes you old, experience makes you wise 

Strung Out 

And that's it: back in Rome, tired, sleepy, killed by overbooking and risen again with the refund issued by KLM. Quite a hell of a day.

So I'd let the pictures speak for me! More can be found here. Goodnight...

With the right drapes, the right paints,
the right frames, this could really work

Quick updates from Holland. Bring the popcorn.

It's been exactly one month since I started working, and I (almost entirely) realized the first step of my thesis described in the last post. On one hand this meant something like: well... what's next? The answer came today. We had a videoconference with my professors in Rome, deliciously outlining a couple of new steps that will keep me busy for at least one month or so. Wonderful.

Non-office hours? Of course. Rebuilding my life from scratch is quite tricky, but funny. By the way, I'm slowly falling in love with cooking. Not that I am really good at breaking a couple of eggs or other elementary stuff - but it's still a nice way to spend some time, hopefully getting nice results and even expressing oneself... And afterall, look at today's dinner! It's (actually was) so real.

Extra picture today. Before going to bed, I'd like to share with you this bleak one taken in the elevator. Someone should keep me from stealing that nameplate before leaving this place...

Home Sweet Home

I wanna live in a wooden house

Live (and most importantly alive) from Amsterdam! I'm currently seating at the table in the living room of this wonderful apartment, fighting off sleep while trying to drop a couple of lines.

My journey was quite killing. The plane landed in Eindhoven over one hour later than expected, so I missed the (conformable) direct bus to Amsterdam and had to come by train. Nevermind! My landlord let me into this house at 17:30, then I went to the nearest Albert Heijn to buy the essentials - including my first dinner: dried beef (at least that's what it seemed to be), cheese, bread, tomatoes, Bertolli oil. Really essential.

The house is very nice. I would have put some photos here if only I had brought my mini-USB cable from Rome. That's what happens when one's in a hurry. I will buy it as soon as possible.

In the meantime, say thanks to my MacBook and just take a look out of my window...
