One per month, ha ?

Today I thought of writing an entry here and realised it's exactly one month since I have written the previous one. I guess 1 per month is maximum my current laziness allows me.

Well much has changed in 1 month. For one (and I guess most significant change) we are not together any more with Živa. We broke up recently. While I am not going to go into details here, I can say that I in some sense understand and agree with her reasoning but on the other hand I simply cannot. Despite the fact we haven't been together for a long time It still felt pretty bad for some time. Hanging out with some people (unaware of my current emotional state therefore not trying to encourage/comfort/cheer me up - I really hate when people try to do that ) in good mood and celebrating some birthdays has slightly improved my mood.
As usually hitch-hiking has proven itself to be the best cure ( yet again ). I have chatted with completely unknown people about random stuff and felt much much better. The sun was shining and I realised there is more to life than the pain I felt that moment. It calmed me down (so I guess I will probably OK, before I manage to produce another one of these posts).
On the last part of my hitch-hiking journey a friend has pressed a horn repeatedly, so I noticed him and sat in the drivers' seat, because the back of the car has been filled with plastic bags and different kinds of other stuff. When the driver returned he said - you drive. So I drove myself home with Ford Focus Diesel with 130 HP. That was pretty sweet.

Other than that, the stock market has crashed in Slovenia ( as everywhere else ). This means I have lost quite some money (about 17 % of my total assets since 1st of January). Not like I really care that much right now ( have other things in my head right now ). The thing that bothers me is that I have 0 ( zero ) money to buy new stock and actually make some money one day. Oh, well.. not everything can be perfect.

Also, I am taking note of Democratic party's presidential primary elections. My bet is on Barack Obama. What about yours ? I guess everything will be known in two weeks time.

We have exams period right now ( no classes ) and since I don't really study I manage to find time for different kinds of stupidities and time consumers like this one. Next week will be a bit different, however

Peace

Better late than never

It seems i have gotten in the mood of posting something every two months or so...
It's only because so many things happen and i want to write about them all in detail. After one hour of wasted time behind computer i slowly realize i don't have enough time to write the entry properly and it's late in the night and i need to get some sleep... so i postpone... and then it only gets worse because even more things happen during the time of idling, even more things happen, even more to write, more possible excuses for me.. It's a vicious circle and it seems i manage to stop the habit about every two months or so ( does it coincide with breaks by coincidence, i wonder... )

Here i started to write some thoughts about the meaning of new year and new year resolutions but i have managed to catch myself at doing it and delete it. If i wouldn't do that, i would probably die of hunger and lack of sleep behind the keyboard ( phu, that was a close one :p)

So, yeah, what's happened since November 8th ?
I celebrated my birthday. Unsurprisingly nobody threw me in the fjord this time. Don't worry about me. I am not becoming a pussy here. I have been in Rakov Škocjan (check out the 3rd picture, there is some water on the right bottom part of the picture - there i was :D) in the last week of November, so i have been swimming in cold water practically every month of this year (besides december - so i can still do that one and february).
I am still showing no sign of the end of hitchhiking, despite the cold and relatively short days. In fact, hitchhiking has once again proven itself to be a marvelous form of transportation, generously offering numerous presents and prizes to anyone willing to see and accept them.
Manny great / funny / interesting / absurd things have happened to me ( in fact i could say one happens about every week or so ), but due to size of my memory capacity and laziness i will describe only one, which has had the biggest impact on my life.
I have met this girl who studies biology, we talked about different things and during the 20 minutes ride she managed to convince me to apply (last minute of course, what would it have been otherwise ?) to this biologist field weekend about deer (the fact i was a member of seren ( what an awkward name for environmental service indeed) , helped here). We have done a number of interesting things there ( the above mentioned swimming in Rakov Škocjan was one of them [ well, actually i was the only one insane enough to do it, and the organizers have actually awarded me with a pack of uno cards, so here is a tip - always take a traveling towel with yourself ]. I have managed to meet a lot of interesting people, but most importantly i have met Živa ( which is translatable as "alive" ), this really really nice girl, i made a quick decision and soon it's going to be one month since we have started dating.
I guess i don't need to mention how incredibly happy i am because of that, and i get happier with every passing day. I hope the trend continues. She really is something special. But i really must stop now, otherwise it will take too much time. You must be aware of the fact that i am mostly reliving the events i write about, so it takes quite a bit longer than it seem

Despite that i feel happy and perfect seems depressing compared to how i feel right now, there is one thing, which i thought of last week. I have had a dinner with my ex classmates from my high school. ( it works like this every year in June a picnic, every year in December a dinner ). It's been fun to site all the faces and chat a little bit, but at the same time i have realized i haven't seen a single RCNUWC person for more than 6 months. The last person i saw was Katka in April. That is kind of sad, especially considering almost all of us hang around this tiny little piece of land called Europe. ( BTW, does anyone know if xaingming has managed to get his passport yet ?)

I am going to pretty busy throughout 2008, cause i am hoping to finish my studies by September 2008. Usually people need 5 years to finish their studies ( one year is for the exams from the past and the experimental work + thesis ) and i am trying to squeeze it into 4 years. So it's going to get a little bit stressed.
This year i have been to Mexico & Guatemala in September, but if your offer still stands (meaning you still have that possibility) it would be very much cool if i could visit you in the end of September @ LSE.
Let me know

So now i am done. I have written something in here, so now i can go and feel food about myself :p

Please do write emails, or even better post in this blog..

p.s.
to able to see how handsome i am, i add this photo of me being suspened in refreshing water, right under little bridge of Rakov Škocjan.

slightly annoying

i Hate how facebook doesn't let upload more than 5 photos at the same time. I guess it's something wrong with their script. i have java installed for sure..

Anyways.. i have uploaded some photos from my 3 week trip to Mexico and Guatemala on facebook, you can check the out there.

peace

little update

As of now it's certain i am not getting to Algeria this year. On the other hand i must ask myself, would it be even smart to go ? Sure it would have been a hell of a adventure, but according to every tourist guide it's quite dangerous there. Keeping in mind there was a suicide bombing in algeris this April, killing 33 and injuring more than 200. So i am in some sense happy i am not going.
I decided this year has come to enjoy and spend some money, so i am definetly going somewhere. As of now Mexico seems most probable location. A friend of mine found a round ticket for ~ 380 € from Munich. If i can get a hold of that one there is no question about it, i am going. Otherwise i am not certain.
I have been to the seaside, enjoyed it a lot.
And it has happened.
i was going to post something, something meaningful and maybe even interesting and yet again i have been chatting for 1 hours over MSN right until now, i am going to the cinema..

maybe some other day...
