News from Evanston
Hi guys,
is it all OK, wherever you are?
I would like to give you some updates from Evanston, since I've some time. But, to tell the truth, I'm quite tired, perhaps due to the jet-lag, but more probably because I've spent all day walking into the Campus among several offices, in order to have an account, an ID... but it is just like in Italy, everyone says to go to the next office, and no-one solves anything... At the end, they told me to wait until Monday... I'll see...
Moreover, I see two apartments, and I just choose to join into the second one, with a young guy who study biology... at the end, also in US I'll be in the same room with another person... but I'm sure I'll be all OK.
I will give you more precise information about Evanston and Northwestern University as soon as I discover, until now I know NU is really big (obviously the offices where they send me time by time were on opposite side of the campus...), while its Statistics' Department is very small, nothing compared with our...
Take care!

I miss you so much
Dear all,
I miss you so much. I think I start working on December-January, for one year. They will give me some datasets to analyse about the tourists appreciation of Venice-museums (Osservatorio civico dei musei). Meaby we get also a variable which is the mean-time in which the tourists look for a given picture, it's amazing. I'm in love with Menardo il Rosso.
In the meanwhile (waiting for December to start my job), I go to all the public conferences. Yesterday evening "Psycoanalysis conference" in the public library. I learn a lot of things, for instance, the greek term "Entelechia" it is a very marvellous word, foud out by Aristotele. In psycoanalysis it means that the person follows his own interior rules to develop himself without looking at others. Since I am in love with my city, tomorrow I will go to partecipate to some courses at the University (we have our own university in Mestre!!), one about Art History, and the other about Psycoanalysis.
So, that is my program.
I really hope all of you are fine, I really appreciated the last two years with all of you and I have to thank Monjed to all the things he teaches me about his beautiful culture.
I wish you all the best,
Marlies

ALMOST BACK TO ITALY!!!
Hey ragazzi,
is everything fine? I hope so for Monjed, who's the only one I don't really talk with if not through this blog (Monjed, skype!!!!), for the others I know it already, you're all fine (bloody Tony, he never dies!!!).
I'm also fine, and preparing myself to come back to Italy. I still have two weeks here; next friday there's going to be my goodbye party, then I'll spend the last weekend (23rd-24th) in Germany with my friends and on the monday morning (25th) I'll take my super Focus and drive back to Padova.
This was just for you to know my plans; I know I'll find only Bustra and Monjed in the office, Riccardo is leaving the week before (maledetto, you could have waited for the last spritz together!), luckily Tony is still in the middle of nowhere, Maestro I'm looking forward to see you (December, right?), and Marlies we see each other very soon!
Ah, yesterday I bought the helmet and the jacket for the motorbike, now I only need to buy the motorbike itself... and then all the parking spots at the depatment will be Bustra's and mine!!!!
Ciao semi (tranne la Marlies)!!!
