Depiction

Here are some of the pictures that I saw and felt related to while working on the thesis:

(Im)possible

My thesis writing has continued way too long (if know me or if you've visited the blog before, there's a good chance you know that).
Finally the deadline is approaching and just as much as I fear it, I anticipate that moment I will press the "send" button and say goodbye to that madness I've been going through.
Until then I'd like to borrow Mr. Mandela's thought and plant it in my mind:

Still around

Since the summer took away most of my ambition to create a life-changing scientific masterpiece, I got to the point of spending Christmas with a pile of books rather than surrounded by the usual Christmas decoration.

That is why, once again, I let a big chunk of time slip away without posting a single thing here. My procrastination and so on let the thesis writing take much longer than I wish it had taken.. So, in order to finally finish, I believe I'd better channel my creativity towards the thesis writing instead of making sure I post here regularly..

However, I used to love filling up my sun-search journal, so don't start to think I have given up on the blog. If there is anyone interested in it, don't worry (, mom, dad), I will still be posting every now and then.. just not as regularly. So, come visit whenever you too feel the need to find some sunshine.. I might have managed to put a ray in here.

:)

Anything new?

Back..

..and still feeling the same way.

Fears for the after-thesis life

Brain working hours: the wrong ones

You know how you sometimes need your brain to get something done, but it just does not respond to your requests for help? And other times it calls you when you least need someone disturbing you...

Reading for the thesis

It's over

My five-day exam is over!
If I did well, it means that my last exam ever is over.
What I've got to say about that?
Yeyeyeyeye-yeyeye-yeyeye ho-ho-ho-ho-hoooo!

2 a.m. and I'm still awake, writing..

I'm sitting in my room, trying to get some work done while fighting with sleepiness.
Music is soothingly flowing from the (online) radio.
I have just noticed that it is 02:00 a.m., when this song starts to play:

So, I start singing to myself: "breeeeeathe, just breeeeeeeathe" and hope for some writing inspiration.

A tank of coffee for me, please

I am going to spend the day at the library, so I thought I might need some coffee.

Years in school 1

Paradoxes, ironies and other unfortunate facts from the last 19 years.

Quite often in my university years I have skipped lectures, so that I have enough time for studying.

Gone for good

Where did you sleep last night

I saw this at school earlier today.
I must admit I admire people that are so dedicated to studying.
But I still prefer my own comfortable warm bed.
Speaking of which, goodnight!

Good old days

Kinda tired

About a week ago, a few days before my second exam, a friend of mine told me: "you know that what you're doing to yourself is called sleep deprivation.. and it has been used as a torture technique?"..

Well, things have changed since his question: 3 exams have passed (two still to go) and now I'm sleeping.. sometimes...

Being a man..

Adding caffeine to the equation

In pieces

I just watched this video..

.. and I couldn't help it ask myself.. what can make me laugh this way now?.. Then it struck me.. I will burst into that same sincere pure happy laughter if I see someone tear into pieces all the articles, slides, lecture notes, researches, exercises and similar sh... sheets of paper that I am reading for the exams..

That will also open several kilos of space in my suitcase.. It's like a win-win situation.. with both "win"-s for me..
