room temperature beer
so living in germany has made me learn to drink beer at room temperature… sadly it is still good!
Cold is better, but when you go to the supermarket and then only have room temp beer and you have to make it to the party or get together in 30 minutes… in a country where ice doesn’t exist (is kind of true… really hard to find) well this is what happens
Prost!
deadly wasps
so i am allergic to wasps… in the pst few day I have been receiving the visit of a wasp, every day one would come in two or three times a day and anooy the crap out of me… and i never wanted to kill it because it is just an innocent animal (mother fuckers)
well today i receive the visit of two and i was like, ok this has to end
so i took one, spray it with some deodorant and then...
So I made it to my office
In the past month, I have been caring less and less for work. One day I decided to do a run to Munich on a Sunday, knowing I had to go work on Monday. Well the thing is that once you decide to skip work once, it happens twice and maybe even more… So yesterday I woke up feeling very tired and just decided to sleep in till 11 and maybe work a little from home… bottom line is that I...
It's been a long time
Wow it has been a long time since I’ve written anything here. Most of the stuff is from last year when I lived in Italy. Now I am living in Berlin, Germany. I wish I would have written more, now I have a lot of memories that are fun, but oh well, let’s see how this goes now.

Here we go again - Mother Fucker!!!
Yeah, I m complainig again. Last time I was in Italy living the great life and I had a boss that would leave me waiting hours, this time, my fucking advisor. I schedule a meeting at 10:30 am, well it is at 10:30 am. I got in and at 10:30 he was talking to this kid! Then at 10:35am he comes out and there is still another kid waiting and well he went talk to him first. WTF, I have other shit to...

This is awesome
So I just got an email from the ex secretary of the Airforce… she is a Professor at MIT… well I just got an email saying that I was going to be a TA in her class, and well I had asked for this more than 6 months ago and she remembered! It just made me really happy.
More stuff
Now I am thinking that I have to start looking for grad schools or a job position… that means high school all over, but this time I have to dress up to impress people. Fillout papers, take more exams… this really sucks, seriously!
I want to try do my life in Boston or close, else I was thinking of just moving over to Europe for a while and go to school in Germany, the Netherlands or...
L'attesa
So I am here in Italy, at work, thinking about random stuff (things to do when I go back home to Boston, things to buy, things to achieve, people to visit and talk to, crushes) and anything else, but making this final report.
I just noticed that I am only 5 days away from going home and I still have to be taught how to drive stick… actually I will text Carla right now. I just want it to be...
Ugh... tomorrow is Monday :(
I just do not want to go to work, I have had something like a 2 and a half week vacation and I have really done nothing, and I think I got used to it… It is awesome to wake up at 1pm and go to bed at 4am. I get less alone time, since I can talk to my friends back in the States…
Good thing is that tomorrow, well for me it is Monday already…, I will be 6 days from returning to...
I am very mad at you...
You have no idea! You know who you are… and I know you read this…
Ooh Italy
I am back in Italy. I was mad, because it is usually hot here during the summer, but this morning it was like 75°F or less, it was awesome. Let’s hope it does not get hot later this week or next week. I would probably get mad and use my one way ticket and go and get lost in Switzerland or Germany again.
Nice, the internet also works in the bar :)
The swiss
I have been here in Europe for almost 3 months now. I complain that Pisa, is really expensive and somehow I have managed to find places where to eat for lower prices, but they are very limited.
In Germany, I can go to the most expensive cities (Münich, Düsseldorf, Hamburg…) and I can manage to eat at prices cheaper than those in Pisa. (Napoli is too cheap to compare though).
But I have...
Most random thing
I am sitting right now in a bench in the middle of Zürich, like 15 feet from the river. It is beautiful, and I just need a couple of glasses of wine and someone to be with. So I was typing in my laptop and a random bird just decides to crap on my computer! Seriously. Thank God it crapped on the side of the keyboard, so it was an easy clean, but still! Now it is a little after that and it is...

The italian washing machine
So I was trying to put my towels in the washing machine, and well, the machine is italian and I do not really speak italian, I mostly get away with Spanish.
At least I can program it, etc, but then there are these options, like do you want a centrifuge or no centrifuge, etc and I am like, where is the auto do the thing mode?
Then, I put the soap in… I guessed, because it does not say, it...
Isn't it just nice...
… when you wake up at 8am and decide you do not want to go to work and just don’t? This morning, that just happened to me. I woke up at 8am, and decided that I was not going to do anything at work, so why bother going?
So today, I just woke up at around 11am. I did wake up sporadically before 11am and had some AIM conversations that lasted like 5 minutes, or so, but still, it was...

Stranded in Orlando, FL for 1.5 hrs.
Mi dispiace (I am sorry)… Orlando Int’l kind of sucks for layovers, the only thing I like there, is that if I actually get stranded, I just need to call grandpa and he will come pick me up 30 minutes after the call. Every time my flight delays I hope for a cancelation so I can go sleep in my bed (My Orlando-Chapter bed) or get spoiled by grandma.
There are only few stores, and a...
foodgasm
If you rub that delicious foodorgasmic cheesecake, like… I dunno… be creative… do you think you could benefit yourself more or even benefit other people?

I just had a piece of delicious cheesecake which caused a foodgasm. It released all the sexual tension I’ve accumulated for months. Thank goodness.

Oggi non ho fato un cazzo...
Today I haven’t done a f (anything)…
Today has been a very unrpoductive day to do work, as in finish my report. I have actually been learning other things on the computer. I was told about this fun game online, which is like a puzzle (engineering type of game), and it is kind of addictive.
I have also talked to my mom and searched for other things on the computer, and of course I...
Lazy Day
Today is awesome… the boss is out of town and, well, I am watching youtube and reading my german newspaper, later I will watch some podcasts or something. It seems it will be a good day. I am aslo planning to go home (to my new apartment) right after lunch!
are you...?
I think you are not the only one with the same problem

I like someone that I’m not even sure likes me (or my kind for that matter). I’ve had this problem going on for months.
I hate it when...

I think I found the perfect place to get my hair done in Boston.
My friend Omar has been going to Acoté for a couple of months now and he recommends it. I even went with him to his first appointment there, and the place is not cheap, but they did a good job. I checked out the website, and turns out they have a stylist who specializes in curly hair and highlighting. Just what I need!!!...
