Wanted

I'm back to the Internet

After getting some reasonable time off the Internet, due to returning home, I am back to posting things here.

This first after-vacation publication is about a nice facebook page. It is called Urban Art in Bulgaria and has a lot to offer.

Despite the name of the page, there are pictures of street art stuff from other countries too. You will find some of the posts in Bulgarian..., but, hey, images speak the Universal language.

Go check the page and bring some sunshine to your soul. :)

Did I mention where I'm going?

(Reversed) countdown done: Wait for me

I am coming back home tomorrow!
YAY!
Sofia Airport, Terminal 2, 11:15 a.m. - in case you really feel like hugging me straight after getting off the plane. :)

Tomorrow I'll be gone

Early morning I am heading to Copenhagen - one step closer to being home! Yay! :)

Looks

This is the famous "American girl in Italy" who was walking the streets of Florence in 1951, just the way I am walking the streets of Aarhus these days.. hehe :)

Clean and neat

This is how I usually clean:

 And this is how organized I am:

And despite all that, I still haven't started to break into people's homes to clean them. But Susan Warren seems be be unable to control her cleaning passion.. and she wants to get paid for the service.

Good idea?

While waiting for a teacher to say if my idea for a master's thesis topic is good enough, some thoughts are occurring..

Gone for good

Final preparations, closing some deals, packing the bags.. aaaand going home. :)

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!

Graduation

Today's cartoon by Doug Savage is dedicated to a very joyful moment of every person's life.
In addition to it I am uploading yet another positive message for the fresh graduates.

(Reversed) countdown: 12

Exam - Danish style: 2

Today is the fourth day of my last exam in the MSc program. Yes, you read correctly, 4th.

This is a 5-day take home assignment and it basically works like that.. They upload a case, (usually) describing a company and important relevant information about it, plus the exam questions. Then you have a certain amount of time (I have had from 12 hours to 5 days) to write your solution and upload it back on the website.

Meanwhile you can use any source of information you can think of (including your classmates), but trust me, even this does not make it easier than the ordinary exam.

Well, now the end is near... but, please, keep your fingers crossed for it to be a happy ending! :)

Shake it!

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.

Comfort taken to a new level

This is a bus stop in Aarhus.
No, no, they don't normally look this way.
That's just a great symbiosis between a Scandinavian practice (to leave your old furniture on the street, where it gets collected either by furnitureless students, or by a garbage company - whichever finds it first) and some lazy genius' mind.
Hooray for creativity born by laziness!

Sunny afternoon..

..after a sunny morning.. after four sunny days in a row..
 Am I dreaming? :)

Exam - Danish style: 1

This is how an average open-book 4-hour exam looks like in Denmark.

You are allowed to use any source of information that you find appropriate.. including the internet. You can also write on your laptop, instead of paper. Then you upload your file on a USB stick (which they give you on your way into the exam room).

I suppose that's not something that one can experience in Denmark only.. but I never heard of such a practice in Bulgaria. Also, for my open-book exam in Belgium I was forced to print some 1000 pages, because: "if you are reading from your laptop, I can never be sure whether you're not on the internet"..

* Roberta, thank you for making this (though blurry ;)) photo for me! :)

Be happy

The Danes are once again the happiest in the world. Norway, Sweden and Finland are also in the top 10...
The more I think about it.. the more I get convinced that I've got to be missing something in the picture..

 * I found the photo by searching "happiest people ever" on Google.
 

Time to sunbathe
