2008 has started… so does my PhD programme

Fortunately or unfortunately 2008 has come!

Even though I found not so nice weather and got a flu during my vacations in Italy, after all I had a very nice time with my family and friends. Fabio has been a great host, he showed me Milano, Sondrio, Como, and the surroundings of the Como’s lake. I had a kind of “Lombardia in a nutshell” trip. :) I enjoyed so much also New Year’s eve, thanks to the company of Andrea, Hilde and all their friends.

But at the end, as expected, I had to come back in the rainy Bergen… And here I am, without being homesick yet. Today is a very important date in my life, I finally started the PhD programme here in Bergen. All the staff at the University was very very kind with me, I had a tour to meet most of the people working at the Department of Informatics, and after dealing with some formalities I got into my own office, located on the fjord side of the building (that will be unfortunately obscured in some months by some new University’s building :( ). To please some of my geek friends I also add that I have a very powerful Dell PC with a 24” LCD monitor, running Fedora GNU/Linux 8. :)

The work environment seems pleasant, I am really satisfied and I look forward to becoming really productive. It actually seems that some people kept the finger crossed for me. Well, if you did so please continue like this, I would like to end the 2008 positive like today!
