Learning how to...play Baseball...!!

Pitcher, Umpire, strike, ball, cacher, balk,...they're driving me crazy towards the "foul line"..hahaha
Kika, poor italian girl addicted to soccer...this is the year of the Fifa World Cup
but all the shameful and disgusting business around "italian calcio" (that we all already knew..not only Zeman) are making me curious about other games...

Let's play the game..the real "calcio giocato"..nothing more! Keep off your dirty hands from soccer..the same old story...the usual suspects..

g'night..!

Yeeessss...Uaaauuuu......try harder, kika, TOUJOURS....and you'll get the best from everything! Finally I understood a "quite hidden" option within TeCFlow..
Talking about the ickn website, I guess nobody but my mother knows that there's a short profile of Kika as member of the ickn project...well, I gave P. one of my favourite pictures (I did it by myself last summer, without photographer..I'm too shy to show those piercing eyes in front of a stranger!)

Let's summarize what's going on in my life in this period...
- My full paper "Email may not reflect the social network" has been accepted by the NAACSOS Conference and tomorrow I have a meeting with a team of researchers from Hitachi interested in our research (one of them is a visiting researcher at MIT Media lab). Good luck Kika..hihihi!

- The second part of the project with SHARE and Swissnex is going well (even though people would be more responsive if they received money for the survey - "the same old story, a fight for response and glory"!!!
I feel like one of the 5/6 new italian female Ministers without portfolio!! In Vancouver a famous professor told me about his very encouraging response rate (the study was supported by the NSF..so they paid people to complete the questionnaire!!)...I only have the power of my words for convincing people who even don't know me..!! I'm trying to be dolcissima (as much as I can!) in my professional reminders!

- I'd love to stay more in Boston. P. believes I'd be a good consultant (hihihi!) and that I'm a great networker...next trip Rhode Island as promised??!!

- The personal dimension of my life is finally casting off bad "spells". I had a wondeful, fantastic, magnifique week end and I'm living a sort of dream (the american dream?!). under the Pandora sky.. I'd like to fly, but I know how easily my wings can be burned off by travelling too high..so...I'd like only to thank the main responsible of all the fun I'm having in this period...I Hoppe... as long as we want...Ad Maiora!

Back to Blog, Kikolina!

I need to apologize for my virtual absence in this period (Irene, you're right..my new american style is making me so busy these days...but I always think of you..I'm so lucky of having you in my life..my "third sister"!).

I discovered that a lot of people got to know about my movements from Italy (for few days) to Boston thanks to my blog...(Hi Nouha!!). Please, don't say anything to my boss!! hihihi

I'm going back to work now..my experience of "MySQL self-learning" needs to have a follow-up..!!
