Nel 2005, con un' ultimo sforzo, mi son Diplomato all' Università di Parma.
Diplomato in Ingegneria delle Infrastrutture. Un corso di 3 anni.
L' anno successivo ho trasformato il diploma in Laurea Triennale e quindi son diventato Ingegnere Junior con la possibilità di iscriversi all' albo, esercitare la professione e compagnia bella..

E' da quasi 3 anni che vivo in Svezia e in tutti i colloqui di lavoro che ho fatto mi son sempre presentato come Ingegnere delle Infrastrutture spiegando brevemente i corsi sostenuti e le mie capacità lavorative.

Una settimana fa, ad un colloquio, mi è stata rivolta (giustamente) la seguente domanda: " E' possibile avere una conversione dei tuoi voti/risultato finale dal "tuo vecchio" ordinamento al "nuovo" processo Bologna?". E' lampante: si fidano di quello che dico ma anche per loro funziona la regola "fidarsi è bene, non fidarsi è meglio!".

Ovviamente c' è un ente predisposto per queste conversioni (Högskoleverket www.hvs.se) dove prontamente mi è stato richiesto un documento con tutti gli esami sostenuti timbrato dalla mia Università e altri documenti "svedesi" facilmente reperibili in rete.

Dopo circa una settimana mi è arrivato il documento dalla Facoltà di Ingegneria di Parma contenente tutti i titoli dei miei corsi ( a volte addirittura accorciati) e i voti ottenuti, il nome delle mia tesi e il mio risultato finale. Perfetto pensate voi..peccato che sia tutto quanto in lingua italiana.

Ovviamente mi han riso in faccia dicendomi che almeno vorrebbero averlo in inglese oppure me lo dovrei fare tradurre da un ente autorizzato..

Ecco la risposta ottenuta dalla Facoltà di Ingegneria di Parma alla mia domanda di un documento in inglese:

"Si, per avere una traduzione legale è necessario rivolgersi ad ente preposto ed autorizzato.
L’Università rilascia certificati solamente in italiano.
Se non è presente in Svezia, allora bisogna rivolgersi a un ente italiano. Non è sufficiente infatti una semplice traduzione letterale; ci vuole una traduzione ‘legale’ e certificata; nel caso più complicato potrebbero chiederle anche la traduzione del programma degli esami."

A questo punto ho cominciato ad interessarmi seriamente in cosa consiste questo benedetto "Processo di Bologna" . Uno dei suoi 4 obiettivi da perseguire entro il 2010 è "la possibilità concreta per studenti e laureati di proseguire agevolmente gli studi o trovare un'occupazione in un altro paese europeo".

Per fortuna che mancano ancora 10 mesi al 2010..

Hej!
Now we are living here:

LAT: N 59° 22' 30.02"
LONG: E 18° 8' 26.08"

Come and say hello!! 

 I took pictures from yesterdays JWOC men relay start.
As you can see there are lot of runners who cannot stay behind their maps because there' s not enough room for everyone..not so good from the swedish organizers! Look at the british guy..
Hopefully next year in Primiero-Italy it will be much better!

From todays Metro:

Now you can buy dildos at the pharmacy














Così potrai farti consigliare dal tuo farmacista quando in coda c' è una mamma con i bambini raffeddati bisognosi di Vixinex.

E' tornato ad essere Elite a tutti gli effetti. 2 gare ed è già sopra i 60 punti.

La mitica Nubira è tornata in Italia oramai esausta dalle migliaia di km fattasi qui al Nord. Sostituita in un w-e con una rampante Zafira. Grazie Sero!!

Berlusca ha vinto: Sero ha provato in tutti i modi a falsare gli exit-pool con le sue abilità multimediali. Niente da fare 'sto giro..

Ha le caviglie a pezzi. Non passa una sola uscita nel bosco che non prenda una storta. Ormai le Active Ankle gli fanno un baffo.

Sta tornando in peso forma..dopo son razzi per tutti! Il dottore gli ha ordinato un' ultima frazione alla Tiomila (17km) per cominciare la dieta..

Hej,

I' m following a new rehabilitation program for my runners knee. I just added to my daily stretching sessions a few new (at least for me) exercises and every week I' m going for a check and massage to a physiotherapist just behind my flat.
The hope never die!

And tonight The Soap Bar..

Yesterday I started my second dance course with Emil and Sofia. I "refreshed" basic steps with my dansprinsessa Maria. Hopefully this year I' ll be more frequent..

Last week end our club organized the famous LidingöLoppet, a 30km cross-country run all around Lidingö island. The weather was really bad (rain and wind) but anyway I think runners could enjoy the track and the beautiful landscapes.
Of course, many orienteers were there competing. Among them were Martin Johansson and Mats Troeng (8th and 9th). In the girls side (10km run) Lena Eliasson was 6th and Ingunn Weltzien 11th.
Like last year was really nice taking part at this event.
I hope next year I will be able to take part as a runner..

After Italian Champs I went for a medical examination. Prof. Luigi Stecco , with his Fascial Manipulation, tried to fix my painful knee. Actually he did quite well because he found some old problems I have just looking at simple stretching exercise. He hardly massaged on the back of my sholuder and I felt immediately relief. But after a couple of days, when I tried to run again pain was still there. At least I didn' t feel pain in longitudinal movements. I trust him and I' ll fly back soon for another check..
Anyway I' m taking some no-full-training weeks and instead I' m going for shopping and nightlife.
On saturday Sero will offer drinks to everybody because of his salary increase!

2 days a go, during working time, I met a woman who was interested in what I was doing in her garden. Actually I was just working, nothing more. Anyway, she started speaking with me (swedish of course) and I understood immediately her accent was familiar. 5 min later I was sitting in front of a cup of coffee in her kitchen.
She lives here since 20 years and working for a company where they are developing electronic models (I didn' t understand exactly) and they have lot of works/contacts also in Italy . She said they' re looking for a lot of Electronic Civil Engineers: unfortunately my educational background doesn' t match that! Probably someone out there is interested in it..

Next week-end it will be time for the last Italian championships 2007. Long distance on saturday and relay on sunday. We will run in a beautiful and fast terrain in the forest close to Subiaco (Rome) where the WC were held in 2005. We all hope for a really technical and challenging courses..
My club has 2 teams in the relay. We' ll go for a top 5 place for both of them!!

_After a 2h run in the middle of July I started again to feel pain in my right knee. I ran in Scotland but the pain wasn' t so hard..But since 2 weeks it showed up again. I already booked a medical examination for next monday somewhere close to Vicenza in Italy.

_I have a new swedish hair cut

_Weather is changing: last week the temperatures fell down to 10/15 degrees during the day. Yesterday, on my way to work around 6 am I found some SNOW on the motorway!

_The job is good enough at the moment. I' m learning quickly all the things but soon I' ll try to find something more difficult and challenging..

_I' ll fly to London on 2 weeks to take part at the London Open House. I like to be updated about Architecture and to have a look at the built environment.

_Probably I' ll have the possibility to go for some works in the far East..

Non capisco perchè gazzo non si possan leggere i commenti ai post precedenti. Che blog del gazzo!!

This morning Michele Caraglio came back to Italy after 6 months here in Sweden.
He lived in Uppsala and ran for OK Linnè.
He improved a lot his orienteerings skills and he reached good results at the Swedish World Champs Test last week-end.
He' s looking forward to the Italian Champs Long Distance in September!

In less than one hour I' ll leave Stockholm. Finland is waiting for us..
I have a new hair cut made yesterday by 3 syrian girls!
We will be back on monday with a pics-reportage about our trip back on the boat.
Bye bye

In Svezia, nelle strade a due carreggiate con 2 o più corsie per senso di marcia e con limitè di velocità dei 70 Km/h o inferiore, si può guidare nella corsia che più ti aggrada..e quindi anche in quella più di sinistra che dovrebbe esser usata per il sorpasso.
Me lo hanno già detto 2 persone (in svedese) e quindi dovrei esserne certo al 100%.
Ogni mattina vado a lavorare in macchina con un mio collega. Quando ci troviamo sui tipi di strada suddetti lui guida sempre sulla corsia di sinistra e ovviamente fa 2-3 Km/h in meno del limite. Intanto lui può guidare dove vuole..
Però arrivano delle macchine sparate da dietro che ci sfanalano e fanno gestacci. Ma lui, al posto di spostarsi, fa delle frenate improvvise e alza il dito medio. E ci sorpassano a destra guardandoci e scuotendo la testa come se fossimo matti..
Ogni volta vorrei auto-espellermi dalla macchina!

Ho provato a spiegargli che funzionerebbe tutto meglio se lui stesse più a destra. Ma lui continua a fare così..

..those ones on a plane who clap their hands after the landing. 98% of them are Italians!

We saw lot of rabbits who are taking care of roundabouts and parks in the city. But they don' t care of our grill..

Yesterday joined the club another British guy: Graham Gristwood.
He will run with us Elitserien and Siljanskavlen the coming w-e. Between 16th and 20th May the club will be in Finland for a Jukola training camp.
From next spring he' ll live here in Stockholm for 1 year.
Welcome!

I joined my old friends here in Milano. This w-e I' ll run Italian Middle Champs somewhere in a lost valley up in the north-west..

During the last month lot of people came visiting and training here in our flat. We are (and were) really happy and we' re looking forward to see all of you again in the future.
But, as usually, someone lost something and I found this underpants..who is the owner?

I tamarri ci sono anche qui..

Finally we could try our seat on the balcony!

Michael Phelps, 21 years old, took today his 6 gold medal at the World Champs in Melbourne.
And "probably" he' ll win 2 golds more..
Ok, he' s a hero. We knew before..
But I cannot understand why he seems not happy, no emotions in his face when he' s on the top of the podium..
At least, if we can compare him to Simone Luder, she' s always smile and joyfull!

Gösta Berling, an unsuccessful priest who was drunk in the church and thus lost his work, encounter a series of adventures and loves in his tumultuous journey to redemption. Along the way, he meets the beautiful Elisabeth..
This is the beginning of "Gösta Berling saga", a svensk klassiker I read for my swedish course.
Sometimes, I found difficulty when I encountered some old swedish but I could enjoy it anyway!
Soon, we' ll go to Dramaten (Royal Dramatic Theatre) watching a piece called "Dödsdansen".
Hej då!

Tonight I was in Gamla Stan (centre of Stockholm) looking at the Sprint Final Ski X-Country. Lot of snow was carried there because actually there is no more snow in all the city..
Really spectacular competition all around the Royal Palace with 2 "steep" uphills.
Was a pity when, in one of the quarterfinals, 2 italians (Pasini and Frasnelli) had a collision together and they fell down..

From this morning punktSE (gratis newspaper):

"Darling, tonight we' ll do it environmentally friend "

Meanwhile Antonio is on the top of Tour Eiffel, i' m thinking about the development of the web.
If in the 90s internet broke into our houses, how long we have to wait for human teleportation?
And how it will transform orienteering then?

Thanks to Sara I could have a look of this site.
Madeline Gins and Arakawa, an american and japanese artist-architets-poets, show us new built works like parks, residences and neighborhoods (most of all in Japan) where the "..procedural architecture function..help the body organize its thoughts and actions to a greater degree than had previously been thought possible.".
Enjoy that site!
