normal workday
It starts to feel a bit like a normal workday today.. This morning we arranged my ip-address for my laptop and we will get a password (and an emailaddress also I think) to have access to internet.. I also went to the bank to get my salary which the university deposited on the bank of pisa (Francesco G. knows all about it haha). It took them a while before they found my money haha.. But then I realised that the money came from the neuroscienze department so we figured out together where my money was.. So now I'm walking around with a lot of money :S But I will get rid of some this afternoon when I will pay the deposit for my room. So this morning was mostly about arranging this.. Now I have been looking for articles for a while.. Oh and there is one not so handy thing: there is only one Brainvoyager dongle.. Hehe I am used to having all the computers nicely fixed to a network with a network license.. but I guess I'm not in the Brainvoyager-heaven anymore :D So Lucia is doing a lot of ICA and preprocessing of her and Ilaria's data so hehe I don't know yet how we will do that in the future.. Maybe I can look very nicely at someone from brainvoyager.. or maybe (even better hehe) I should send Marin downstairs :P Just kidding..
It takes me a little while to figure out which articles I can get where.. every faculty has it's own library or something, and we can also access the Napoli library so that's nice..
Ah what else... ah yes, yesterday I was very frustrated about staying in the office till late to try and talk (msn/skype) to my parents and the Gilmore girls groep ;), because things didn't go as smoothly as I wanted, and I was wondering whether I should take the room or not. But eventually I watched a bit of blurry Gilmore girls hahaha which was fantastic ofcourse, i felt still part of the Gilmore girls night haha or at least a little.. And talked with my parents and Lauran about the room.. So I have taken the room for now, I can always look for something better later on. I must say that I feel a lot better now that I have a place where I can stay (from March the first). Then I can make this town a little bit my home.. (really in my head I am speaking italian english! The way Lucia and the rest talk to me, with the accent and all! I mean, take the last sentence, that's no normal english! hehe sorry.. :) it's just a very strange sensation hihi)
So I have money and a room, things start to look better. Ah and I forgot to tell about yesterday! Francesco and I had a little talk about what we were going to do, and I think he wants to start measuring very very soon! And I have to prepare everything! And they are placing a projector and a screen downstairs at the scanner now specially because I am here! Hehe I felt slightly stressed about that too.. The pressure to perform.. I know so little!
However today I am quite relaxed and trying to arrange that I can stay with the sisters for one more week, so I don't have to look for a more expensive hostel..
Anyhow I have to get to work, please keep me updated about everything in the Netherlands!

send me downstairs haha, to do what exactly??? Zijn kamers in pisa duur of valt het mee? pressure to perform, denk dat iedereen de druk begint te voelen, you'll do great! Zodra er weer wat gebeurt, iets noemenswaardig, you'll be the first to know! :)
p.s. tis duidelijk dat ik nu het minst te doen heb, zie aantal comments haha
hee liniki, wat nou pressure? Moet jij presentaties geven? Nee toch? ;) . Ik wilde dat ik een keer een scansessie zelf mocht doen, zoals het er bij claudia uitzag was het geeneens heel moeilijk, met hulp van de radioloog dan...Hier werken ze ook met dongles, geen idee wat dat is, enlighten me! :p
Haai girls!
Kamers in Pisa zijn wel wat duurder dan in Maastricht, maar niet belachelijk duur (zoals in Rome, of Amsterdam) Hehe en ik moet nóg geen presentaties geven (wat overigens geen probleem zou zijn) maar wel een compleet experiment (inclusief een programma geschreven in Presentation) in een weekje opzetten ofzo.. We'll see.. we'll see.. Kheb ook gekeken bij een scansessie waarbij we de makkelijke dingen op de workstation wel kunnen doen, zoals dingen verslepen (de scans op de comp) en aanzetten haha.. Een dongle is zo'n ding wat je achter in je computer douwt waardoor je programma werkt, meer weet ik er ook niet van :P
En fijn dat je niet zoveel te doen hebt marin, dan heb ik tenminste wat leuks te lezen.. morgen krijg je weer een mail terug ;)
oei succes line!!
maar t gaat je helemaal lukken!! tip: kijk op de neurobs.com website voor voorbeeld experimentjes, kopieer, plak en pas ze aan. werkt t snelste, als er tenminste vergelijkbare experimenten aanwezig zijn....
ennuh... sisters >> nuns :-)
Hai hai,
Hoe gaat het met verzamelen van stimuli? En geen zorgen, ik weet zeker dat je het kan!
