Jack

fell over my cheek when i read Jim Wilson's email with the pub of the week. I miss the international meeting. However i have to thank my friend in Rome for the beautiful night we spent together.
I'll put photos as soon as i can.

Jack or Iacopo

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?

...and even today i'm here in Heathrow writing in my websit. Today my feelings are slightly different. I know my erasmus is finished. I knew a lot of person, i had really a great time and i will miss it a lot. Mary told me that i'll get used again to the normal life, i am not sure of it. A part of me will always miss the 'Glaswegian' life.

I would like to have had more time with those i met in Glasgow, but i know i'll see them again in my life. Maybe not everyone, but at least someone.
I found some great friends, and i don't want to loose them,i'll do everything i can to keep in touch.

Anyone that will come to Rome have to contact me, I wanna meet everyone again.
I need to meet again some of those who were in Glasgow with me, i need to speak with them, i want to finish some conversation that are still open. I know we will finish those conversations... in Glasgow or somewhere else!
I want to thank all those who were near me in parties and even more in other days.

Hope to see you soon!!!
A big kiss to those whom speak English,
besos para qui quien habla espan~ol(right???i invented!!!)(thank Mapi for correction)
e un bacio grandissimo a tutti quelli che parlano italiano

Iacopo, Jack, Jaccolino, Iapo...

I'm going to sleep!!
Good Night Everyone!

Oggi ha nevicato a Glasgow.. fuori dalla finestra una neve intensa... e io dovevo studiare.. mail mio giro sotto la nevicata me lo sono fatto.
La nevicata è stata intensa ma abbastanza breve, sarà durata un'ora, è bastata per coprire i prati e le macchine, per poi sciogliersi verso l'una di notte!
A presto le foto!

Iacopo

Devo ammettere che mi sto stupendo sempre di più di questi scozzesi. Sono un popolo decisamente strano. L'ultiam novità l'ho trovata in biblioteca. Voi non avete ancora visto le foto della biblioteca, ma ve ne posso dare una descrizione molto veloce pur sapendo che non renderà l'idea.
In biblioteca si entra solo col tesserino, e sono presenti due aree computer. In totale i computer sono 122 e tutti funzionanti. Gli altri livelli sono pieni di libri dagli anni settanta ad oggi, di tutti gli argomenti, da architettura, economia, legge e così via, liberamente consultabili.
Ad ogni piano ci sono svariati tavoli, circa 70 posti per piano, se non di più nelle "silent area" e poi ci sono una sala per piano dedicata alla discussione, in cui ci si può incontrare per lavorare per i lavori di gruppo.
Fino a qui non è poi così sconvolgente.
La cosa più sconvolgente riguarda gli orari di apertura. Oggi, domenica, la libreria era aperta dalle 8.30/9.00 fino alle 21. E già questa è una grande comodità, un orario di apertura decisamente comodo, durante la settimana, in più, la libreria è aperta fino a tardi, o forse dovremmo dire presto visto che stiamo parlando delle due del mattino. Si avete capito bene, la libreria è aperta fino a notte inoltrata, e di gente che la frequenta ce ne sta davvero tanta.

Adesso vi saluto.. domani studio... in biblioteca ovviamente.
Enjoy your night
Iacopo

I'm here again in Heathrow waiting for my connection flight. Today seems an odyssey.
I started my trip in Rome at Fiumicino, where the security check took a long time, the queue was huge, i manage to take the plane almost on time. When on the plane the captain said we have to wait few minutes for passengers at the security check after while the plane was full and ready to leave.
With a delay of a quarter of an hour the plane starts moving and joined the queue to depart. The plane was almost departing when the pilot said we have to go back to the stand for security reason. Then some passenger got off from the plane, and the crew unloaded their baggage. After that we were ready to leave again with one hour and something of delay. Conclusion i lost my connection flight, but it was not such a huge problem, British Airways changed my flight and now i'm waiting in Heathrow to board. If everything will be allright i'll be in glasgow at a quarter to seven, so i think i could stay at home for a quarter to eight (hopefully).

Enjoy your afternoon!!!
Jack

I'm just arrived at home... is so strange the sensation: a lot of thing i used to have in the campus are now missing; there are things I do not feel mine anymore... it is so sad!!!

I miss my Strath friend!!!!!

Enjoy your night!!!

Jack!!!

Now i'm in Heathrow waiting for my flight, which is delayed to 21.2, more than one hour, in fact the estimated departure time was 20.10.
The good news is that i manage to meet Mapi in London, the bad is that I did not know my flight was delayed so we spent only few minutes together because I had to go to the airport. And worst than ever in the security check there was no queue, so now i have to spend two hours in Heathrow and I don't know how.... that's why i'm blogging!
By the way, the security check was really amazing, they said:

• Take off your shoes


• Take out your laptop from the bag


• take out all the metallic thing from your pocket

Then it is supposed that everything goes as well, I passed under the metal detector, it did no ring, and the Security officer said "raise your hand" and started to touch me really carefully! he even asked me to unfasten my belt to check if there was anything inside.
However everything seems to go as well.

Have a great evening,
Jack

I'm again here connectdet withBT Open Zone authenticated with Telecom Italia Hot Spot. I'm in Glasgow airport in front of gate 19 waiting to board on the plane. There are about 50 person in this room waiting for the same flight which id delayed of 17 mins.
For me this delay is not a problem because I will have to spend 5 hours in London Heathrow for the connection flight operated by Alitalia.
I'm a bit sad because I'm leaving a place where I lived three month and i get very well with the other student, and I'm sure I will miss them although I know I'll see them again in 20 days more or less.

I just saw a girl in the waiting room that seems a girl from Management Science 2 class. When I will finish this post i'll go to check whether i'm right or not.... (PS she just turned and i discovered she is not Sophie... such a bad luck i hope i found someone to travel with.)

Yesterday was my last night before Christmas, actually i have not done anything special, W just spent some time with Mary and Gisela chatting and watching a film. Actually we watched two movies Amelie, and The island.
Amelie is a good movie, a wee complicated but nice, instead I think the Island is really a bad movie, not for the story, but for the director.
I hve to go, they are calling my flight.

have a nice day
jack.

A quick post from the Glasgow International Airport to say bye to all my friend, to say bye to Glasgow, and to thank Luiss Guido Carli for paying my internet connection!!!
Enjoy your day!!
I'm going to fly

Jack

Questi sono i miei ultimi momenti dell'Erasmus, volevo ringraziare tutte le persone che mi sono state vicino in questi mesi, nei momenti belli e anche in quelli tristi e più difficili.
Volevo anche salutare tutti quelli che non sono riuscito a salutare prima di partire, e augurare a tutti un buon Natale e un Felice anno nuovo.
Per quanto mi riguarda sono stato benissimo a Glasgow, e spero che a Gennaio sia ancora meglio...
ci vediamo presto, io intanto resto qui per altre:

Have a good night.
Jack

You should have seen my brother tonight, he was really drunk. We just came back from bLo, and now he's sleeping and snoring on my bed, so I think I have to sleep in the sleeping bag tonight.
Tonight Francesca was here for a dinner, an easy one, just an excuse to spend some time together chatting and drinking.
Drinking we got in a good mood for confession, and we spent a lot of time chatting of our life. My bro started to drink vodka and lemonade, and then Irish cream,and he get completely drunk, while me and Francesca were almost sober. After dinner (at midnight) we went out to the club with Stefano, Giulia and Carolina. In the Club there were also May, Silvia and other guys. We had a great night, having fun and laughing all time.
I hope my bro is enjoying his time here as I do.
I will tell you about his hangover tomorrow.
Photos and videos as soon as possible.

Have a good night
Jack

Since three days (or more) I wake in the morning and my first think is "Is hot water working today?". In fact yesterday and the day before, there was not hot water, neither for the shower nor in the kitchen, and for me is a huge problem because I use to have a shower every morning.
These days I found some sort of workaround: when I get up I touch the water, if is cold I immediately call the village office (2434) and say the magic sentence "There is no hot water in chancellors A4!" hoping that the will fix it for when I finish my breakfast.

Have a good Day
Jack

Yesterday night party in Chancellors A4 (my flat). It was so good, definitely one of the best party I've joined.
My kitchen was really crowded of person from different nationalities, drinking and chatting. There were also some couple concentrated in their affair, and someone was completely drunk.
It was 4.30 when the last person went home, but before leaving some friends helped us to clean all the living from bottles. We done it quickly and then in the privacy of our living Johan, Chris, my brother and me cleaned the floor and the carpet.
Before going to sleep we spent other time chatting and listening to some Swedish music. At the end we went to sleep at 6 in the morning.

Enjoy your evening.
Jack

Tonight another party in my flat.
Expected 40 person... I hope there will be more!!!
I also hope it will be good as the last one, it was absolutely fantastic... lot of friend, alcohol, and it finished in the early morning.
This must be better!!!

I will tell you tomorrow!!!
Enjoy your night!!!

Jack

Now I am in a pc area in the faculty of Architecture, is a bit more noisy, but there are a lot of free pc. When I logged into the computer i was not expecting to find any difference between this computer and those in the library, instead here are present other kind of software, like photoshop, archicad and much more.
Is great to stay here looking into other pc screen and discover what other student are doing. There are amazing project of 3d simulation of an house or something like that... is so beautiful.
Have a great afternoon.
Jack

Tonight I called Vale to meet her for a while. When we met we had the idea to make a cake, so we went to my kitchen to do it. When entering in my flat happened the first strange thing, on Andres' door there was a Xmas angel; we laugh a bit and start preparing our cake.
The preparation was made following a secret recipe, I cannot write on internet. We start doing everything by hand, using only a manual whisk.
The first problem comes when we had to put the yeast, in fact, it was for bread, and we did not know the quantity. And here Valentina had the brilliant idea to say..."On my recipe is written 1 bag of Pan degli Angeli", and obviously we don't have that brand of yeast, because it's Italian. Maybe know you can understand the photo... keep in mind that Andres' room is #4...unluckily the angel was disappeared.
However we laugh for an hour while preparing the cake.
We start joking and call the cake as if it was our daughter, and at the end when we took it out of the oven i was not really sure it was my daughter...it was too dark...but inside was great... perfect!!
And then... eating the cake playing Briscola!!!!!

My compliments Vale!!! Thank for your help and cooperation... next time something else!!!!

Have a good night
Jack

Maybe not all of you knows that I am thinking of finish here my degree. I went to speak with the international student advisor, and he said me that he is not the right person to speak to. However he give me some information, about the degree in this university. Tomorrow Morning i will have to go to meet another person, and ask her all i need.
I still don't know what to hope as answer.
We will see it tomorrow.

Have a nice evening.
Jack

Now I'm in the library, and I'm using one of the computer in the PC area.
It's really good here, almost all of the computer works and all have access to internet.
Now that is a bit late there is quite no one here, and is very silent, if we don't consider the noise of computer.
For what i can see on other screen, people are doing different things. Some of them are writing (maybe for some essay), other are surfing on internet, and other are reading some book.
Here we also have some printer and the possibility to use a scanner.
The library is not only for computer, and of course is possible to lend book, and to read them online, which is very useful because we can read them at home as well.
I wold be very happy if the Luiss would have a similar service.

Have a nice evening.
Jack

I have not seen him since almost two months, and when I saw him in the airport I felt my home a bit closer. It was great. This morning we went for a walk in the downtown, and I showed him a part of the city. I still don't know what he think about it, but he seems pleased to stay here.
He was really shocked by my accommodation and I answered him that, for me is normal to live here in this way.
We had a good morning and tonight we will go to the international meeting with Jim Wilson.
I think he will enjoy it. I will write later about it!

Have a nice afternoon
Jack

Questa notte è chiamata "Guy Fawkes Night", e si celebra l'anniversario di un tentato attacco al parlamento inglese. La notte viene celebrata in una maniera decisamente spettacolare. Molti bambini bruciano sul rogo alcuni fantocci di Guy Fawkes per ricordare l'attentato.
In ogni città nel regno unito vengono fatti dei fuochi d'artificio, che da una parte simboleggiano la gioia dell'essere riusciti a sventare l'attentato, e dall'altra ricordano cosa sarebbe potuto accadere se non si fosse intervenuti in tempo.
La cerimonia è stata decisamente spettacolare, anche se sinceramente mi aspettavo qualcosa di migliore, e molto più eclatante. I fuochi d'artificio sono stati lanciati da Green Park, e sono durati all'incirca mezz'ora.
A Green Park era presente buona parte di Glasgow, a quanto sostiene Jim Wilson sarebbero state circa centomila persone, di numeri del genere non me ne intendo, ma il parco era decisamente pieno di gente.
I fuochi erano decisamente belli in alcuni momenti, in altri erano un po scadenti.
Mi aspettavo che fossero lanciati da più parti, invece sono stati lanciati da un solo punto. Anche i miei amici hanno avuto la stessa sensazione, era più di un mese che tutti parlavano del 5 novembre come un evento unico e spettacolare.

Sicuramente è stata una serata diversa, anche se da buoni scozzesi, è cominciata (e finita) decisamente presto, alle 8 era tutto concluso.
Per chi dovesse capitare da queste parti a Novembre, è sicuramente un evento da non perdere, in quanto è molto sentito dagli inglesi: ogni famiglia stava lanciando dei fuochi artificiali.
Il prossimo evento atteso sarà il 19 Novembre, con l'accensione dell'illuminazione natalizia di Glasgow (con tanto di cerimonia pubblica e countdown in piazza).

Buona serata e buona notte
Iacopo

Our Halloween night started in a Spanish flat. I went there with my flatmate Andres, and we spent there quite all the night.
It was so funny to see almost all of us dressed up. I met some new people, and had a good time with them. A lot of girl were dressed as witch, and some one else was dressed as pirate (Jack Sparrow) and other as cat or evil. For men the most common dress was a monster mask or a girl dress. I had a good night in that flat, and about one in the morning we decided to move to a club. We tried to enter in the Bamboo, but there was a long long queue, and we moved to the Kushion and some of us to the Garage. All these club were full or really expensive to stay there for only one hour. So we decided to go back home. In the way back we stopped to the kebab shop, I had a one kebab, but I did not like it, it taste too fat for me.
We spend there some other time, and then we went home.
It was a good Halloween, maybe the best I have ever had.

For tonight, as every Wednesday the plan is the International Meeting with Jim Wilson.

Have a good night
Jack

There was a party in the Todds bar with typical scottish dance. We tried to enter but, at 8 o'clock all the tickets were sold out. So we decided to go back home and have a dinner all together. We managed to cook some Pasta al pesto, and Silvia cooked, or better, tried to defrost a Pizza. After dinner, we spent some time in their flat and then we went to the School Of Art, that is a club behind the School of Art (the real one).
The Club is really great, two dancefloor, quite a nice music, and cheap beer (1 pound per pint). The funniest thing in the club was the population of the club. As you can imagine, there wer such strange people dressed in uncommon way; someone was wearing the tie, other had red, purple hair, no one seemed normal.
They were very funny, and we had a great night.

Have a great afternoon
Jack

Estoy escribiendo este artículo para agradecerle a Mapi que me enseñe español.

I am writing this post to thank Mapi for teaching me spanish.

Scrivo questo post per ringraziare Mapi che mi sta insegnando lo spagnolo.

Have Fun
Jack

Oh my god, this is the best expression for the party, it was amazing, maybe my opinion is not so impartial, i was really "happy". The party yesterday was in Henning's flat, as you understand by the title, there were a lot of people, mainly spanish german and french. I met the same french girl that were in the other party (the one in Victoria Hall) and other people, but sincerly i can't remember all of them.

During the party started a sort of discussion between italian peolple and french, and it was so funny see us and them singing trying to sing louder than each other. The party ended maybe around two or three in the morning, as every party it's ended when everything ran out.

I think you know, but i love to party!!!!!

Guys see you the next party, or i think in the week in some club!!

Have Fun
Jack

Today we went to Stirling. We took the train at Queen station, and in half an hour we arrived at Stiriling. It's a nice city, really small, but do not believe to the map, it is not so small. We went to William Wallace monument, and to get there it takes maybe forty minutes walking, and the monument is on an hill. The position of the monument is incredible, it's spectacular, but we were so unluky because today was quite foggy; I think in a sunny day could be much more better.
Then we moved to the castle, and we did not take the bus to to get there, to have the possibility to see the bridge of the famous battle. To go from the Wallace's monument to the castle we walked around tre quarter of an hour.

Stirling is really a nice city, but there are not so many thing to see, so half day was enough to see the most important thing.
The trip was very tiring, thank also to yesterday night.. but it is not relevant in this post, so i'm going to write another one.

Have fun
Jack

Yesterday night a Party in Victoria Hall. For those you were not there I can just say: you have lost a great night. There were a lot of people, mainly spanish and also some german. Italy was represented by Maria Elena, Enzo and Me for the most part of the night, but later other italian joined us. As always in this kind of party, people drink and chat together, and is a good situation to know other people. I met three new french girl at the party, they are really funny, and i spent a good time with them.
The best part of the night was on the way home with Mapi, we were laughing all time.

Tonight we will have another party, this time in Henning flat. I'll tell you about it tomorrow, if i could remember it.

Have a good day!!
Jack

Yesterday night I went to Silvia's flat where there were other people, mainly spanish, and also an italian guy i had never met before. After beeing there for a while, at midnight we went to the bamboo.ut I was talking to Mapi and she said me the bamboo was the club where we went the last week, and I replied that i've nerver been there, but I think I'm loosing my brain beacuse when i saw the club I recognised it. However the party was really good, we have benn in the bamboo until it closed. It was good to dance and drink until late, and it was really funny to see Eva dancing in the middle of the dance floor. I'm sorry for those who went home earlier than me, they lost a great night.

I hope tonight will be as good as yesterday or perhaps better. Tonight will be international student meeting at Yates's, so see you tonight!!!

Have fun.
Jack

Most of you know my flatmate Chris (Christian), and also you know he doesn't like to cook, and he is often out for dinner/lunch. Today i was surprised when i saw him cooking... yes it's true he was cooking pasta (penne), or as he call them, spaghetti in different shape. Maybe you don't know that he calls spaghetti every kind of pasta.

Congratulation Chris.

Have fun.
Jack

Eccomi di nuovo qui, la sera dopo l'international meeting. Come al solito J. Wilson ci ha portato in un buon posto, economico (molto) e decisamente bello. Questo diversamente dagli altri due non era un pub, ma un club/pub. Era ovviamente pieno di studenti internazionali, e ho conosciuto qualche nuova persona, e chiacchierato con qualcuno che già conoscevo, anche se solo di vista.
Il pub si chiama Kushion, è in stile orientale, e molto economico perchè una pinta costava solo un pound.
Dopo essere stati in questo locale Jim Wilson ci ha dato un pass per il BeLo, e siamo andati li, ma stranamente era deserto.In fondo non abbiamo fatto troppo tardi, alle tre ero già nel mio letto... è stata una bella serata.

Have fun
Iacopo

Yesterday night after the trip i went to Maria Elena's flat. There i stay with some friends, drinking something and then we moved to another flat, where there was a party. A lot of people together, drinking and talking, as in the american movie. The party was funny, i talked to a lot of people, most of them from spain but also some chinese and some italian i had met before. The party ended quite early, and we moved to the union where there were a beach party.
I know there isn't the beach here but it's just a way to have fun. At three am the uninion closed and we were not so tired to go home, and came back to the girls' flat and we had a private party until we were tired and go sleep. When i came back in my room it was about four in the morning.

Have fun...

Iacopo or Jack

Italian Version:

Ieri dopo essere andato al castello, mi ha chiamato Maria Elena e sono andato dalle ragazze e ci siamo messi a fare un party privato. Dopo ci siamo spostati e siamo andati al Party in un altro flat, li ci siamo messi a bere e a chiacchierare, con persone che conoscevo e altri che non conoscevo.
Sembrava la classica scena da party nei college americani, ma all'una ci hanno buttato fuori dal flat e siamo andati a ballare alla union. Siamo stati dentro fino a chiusura, e poi non ancora abbastanza stanchi siamo tornati nel flat delle ragazze, e siamo stati li fin verso le quattro. La serata è stata molto piacevole, sto conoscendo gente nuova, molto simpatica. Ci siamo divertiti molto, e devo anche dire che eravamo leggermente alticci, ma nulla di grave.

Buon divertimento

Iacopo

Yesterday with some friends i went to the Culzean castle. It's far from Glasgow, but we decided to go because it's the most visited castle in Scotland. The trip was very long, it tooks about two hour to go, but the castle was really nice. It is on the sea, in a beautiful garden. Unfortunatly it's not possible to take photos inside the castle, so you can see only the garden and the structure of the castle.

The trip was tiring but definitly amazing. I spent a good day there, thank also to those who came with me.

Have fun!

Iacopo or Jack

... Mapi.

Yesterday was Mapi's Birthday. This post arrives late, but i'm writing this after the surprise Party we have managed for Mapi.
Again Happy Birthday, I hope it's been a good day.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, I will explain You now.
Yesterday was Mapi birthday, and we organized a party in my flat. It was not so big, just few friends. We bought her a chocolate cake and when she came here she wasn't expecting anything, and so she was surprised when she saw the cake. It was so strange because we had to put the cake on the cooker to avoid the fire detector start ringing.
It was a good evening.
As soon as i keep i'll put some photos of the "Party".

Have a nice day.
Iacopo

Ps. sorry for my english.

Come è brutto tornare alla normalità, a dover andare a lezione, ma non mi posso certo lamentare... sono in vacanza da troppo tempo.

Oggi ho assistito alla prima lezione, l'impatto è stato deciasmente traumatico, il professore parla scozzese e quasi a bassa voce. Ha annunciato che non avremo un libro su cui studiare e quindi dovremo studiare solo su ciò che verrà distribuito e su ciò che verrà detto.
Sarà effettuato un test alla settimana, per verificare la nostra costanza nello studio, e questo conterà ai fini del voto d'esame.

Sono stravolto.

Un bacio a tutti quanti.
Iacopo

Oggi sono andato in gita con alcuni amici alla Glasgow University, che è una delle tre università in città.
L'università è molto bella, come potete vedere dalle foto è antica, ma è tenuta benissimo. Dopo un giro all'interno dell'universtià siamo andati a vedere la mostra di Mackintosh, un architetto che pare essere molto famoso, ma che perdonate la mia ignoranza non avevo mai sentito nominare. La mostra è bella, anche se forse è un po' piccola.
Sto scrivendo tutto questo solo per dire che oggi ho passato una bella giornata in compagnia, e che strano ma vero, abbiamo visto un raggio di sole.

Ieri sera il mio flatmate cinese mi ha invitato a una chinese dinner, con altri ragazzi cinesi, norvegesi e una ragazza greca. La cena era molto tranquilla, non buona ma neanche cattiva, completamente diversa da quella che si può fare in un ristorante cinese. Dopo cena sono uscito con il solito gruppo spagno-tedesco, e siamo andati a bere una birra al "Campus".

Oggi ho conosciuto il nuovo coinquilino, e indovinate da dove viene??? Esato anche lui è spagnolo, è una condanna, e tra l'altro anche lui dell'Asturia, e precisamente da Oviedo, ovvero da dove vengono quasi tutti. C'è da dire che gli spagnoli sono simpatici, quindi mi è andata pure bene....

Adesso taglio abbastanza corto che vado a prepararmi la cena...
redo che sarà pennette al sugo, da vero italiano.

Buona serata a tutti...

Iacopo

... prima di cena.
Questo piccolo post lo sto scrivendo prima di andarmi a cucinare, e perciò non potrà non essere di argomento culinario. Non è la solita critica alla cucina scozzese, e solo un sincero apprezzamento per la cucina italiana, che resta comunque la più apprezzata, anche dalgi stranieri. L'altra sera siamo stati nel mio flat per una serata di "Italian dinner". Loro hanno apprezzato molto, anche se devo dire che faceva quasi schifo, un po sarà colpa del cuoco, ma anche degli ingredienti, che non sono assolutamente uguali a quelli che si trovano in italia.

Adesso vi lascio... Vado a mangiare.

Un bacio a tutti quanti.

Iacopo

These are few lines i add for those who are living with me the experience of the erasmus. I would like to thank all of you very much for the time spending here, which is really a good time... made of funny nights and beautiful day.
Thank you.

ps: sorry for my english, but i'm learning scottish.

Ebbene eccomi di nuovo qui, sono un po di giorni che non mi faccio più vivo, è solo che fino a ieri non trovavo l'accesso a internet.

Mi sono sistemato da circa una settimana nel campus, e devo dire che le cose sono andate decisamente migliorando. La camera è decente, una camera da studente, il bagno lascia un po a desiderare, ma comunque sono pulite entrambe (da quando ho passato ammoniaca ovunque).

Finora non ho molti compagni di appartamento, siamo solo in tre.
Chris viene dalla germania e Allen dalla cina; quest'ultimo è un soggetto un po' particolare, non lo si vede quasi mai e sembra terrorizzato da Chris, al quale praticamente non rivolge parola. Apparte questo siamo nella freshers' week, ovvero la settimana della matricola, e qui prendono la cosa molto seriamente. C'è una festa ogni sera, e ci sono i locali e le associazioni studentesche che fanno a gara a chi ti regala il gadget migliore. Ogni giorno torno in camera con una serie di volantini, in cui si annunciano party per la sera e la settimana seguente.

Sono uscito tutte le sere da quando sono al campus, e ho conosciuto tante persone nuove. Io e Chris usciamo quasi sempre insieme ai suoi amici tedeschi, e a delle ragazze spagnole, e diciamo che Chris non è del tutto disinteressato.

A chi dovesse interessare mi sto facendo semplicemente dei nuovi amici, gente simpatica di tutto il mondo.

Lasituazione qui è un po caotica, ci sono molti ubriachi in giro, e nel giro di due notti abbiamo avuto, nel mio palazzo, due allarmi antincendio alle quattro di notte. Nonostante fosse veramente fastidioso stare al freddo in strada a quell'ora di notte, la scena era divertentissima, tutti ragazzi in pigiama o alla meglio vestiti che sbattevano i denti dal freddo.

Le note divertenti per il momento sono finite, quando e se ci saranno aggiornamenti sicuramente finiranno su questo sito.
Probabilmente qualche entry sarà fatta in inglese anche per le persone che sono qui con me a dividere quest'esperienza.

Mi scuserete se qualche parola in un discorso italiano sarà scritta in inglese, ma stando qui alcune parole mi vengono in inglese.

Un bacio a tutti quanti.

Iacopo

Mi è arrivata notiza che sono stato accettato al campus, e che come tale non dovrò cercarmi casa. Sono veramente contento perchè mi semplifica notevolmente la vita, e tra l'altro sono stato uno dei fortunati a finire nel campus con il bagno in camera!!!
Devo solo compilare una quintalata di carte e ho risolto!
Ulteriori notizie a breve.

Iacopo.
