the italian way

Sooo time for a quick post.. I am nicely alone in the office, so I can do some blogging.. I just went to the international office to pay for the room they have arranged for me for a week.. (i got an email that said, just come by the office to pay and other info). I go together with the person who arranged it to the economical office, they start an enormous discussion.. After a while we go down and then again there is another large discussion together with someone else.. ending with mr. mazzotta and me walking to the bank (and wait there for a long time) so I can pay there and they put it on the bank account.. Apparently it was not possible yet to pay in the office.. Well, Mr. Mazzotta did think I could, but I think that the others didn't really agree hahaha.. So an hour later i was outside again hehehe.. I guess this is the way it always goes here hihi, it's no problem for me so far..
This afternoon I will go with Francesco and Lucia to a scanner in Livorno (very close to Pisa) and in the evening Lucia and I will probably go look at a room.. I am really hoping that it is a nice room, and that maybe one of the students living there can speak a little bit of english :) so communication will be easier.. Too bad you can't learn a language in four days.. I really want to understand more and be able to speak more (or at all hahahaha) but hopefully I will learn over time..
I think now I will finally start doing something university-related like looking for articles..
Ciao!

Hoi Line, heb je net een mailtje gestuurd maar zag dat je ook weer gepost had. Fijn dat je het zo goed kunt vinden met Lucia, hoop dat het een beetje ok-je kamer is. Is er al een plan, met het zicht op wat je gaat onderzoeken, aangezien je artikeltjes gaat opzoeken, ben benieuwd.

Yay, money is always good, even if it goes the Italian way :-).
