Done !

Contrary to my normal state i have been pretty productive during the last two weeks.
Last year in december i applied for a research project competition, which is sponsored by our faculty. They wanna encourage students to try and do some chemical research so they offer this reward of about 350 € for the best ones.

As I have been doing research throughout the year i had lots of material to write about.
I have been fully aware of approaching deadline, but i just kept on postponing till 10 days before the deadline, when i started thinking that i was too late already and wondered if it made any sense to start at all..
Then some people encouraged me, saying it was for sure possible but i would need to try really hard. So i started writing on tuesday. On day 1 i thought it was impossible..
Then during the next two days i made some respectable progress. After that i didn't feel like doing it anymore, so i haven't done anything till late sunday evening.

Anyways the idea was, i managed to write it within 5 active days, which still impresses me, cause i never thought i could write 50 pages in 5 days.. If i start thinking i was writing EE ( ~ 10-15 pages, i don't remember ) for about 3 weeks in total ( the whole period ) i really become proud of myself. Also EE wasn't on the level at all. On the other hand, i think this one is quite OK.

So this has become a really good starting point for doing additional stuff..
Now i am kind of proud of myself, full of optimism and eagerly awaiting following challanges ..

cheers

p.s. somehow i cannot upload a photo to blogger..

will add it later if i remember to do it .. ;)


YAY ! I remembered :D

I am posting, increadible right ?

I think so as well.

There was this feeling deep inside.. saying :" you should post something on the blog.. " and i said yeah sure. When i get home i am posting.. But when I finally arrive home, there are about 5 ppl wanting to chat with me on MSN , and I just feel like reading some of my daily routine stuff, maybe one of those emails i should have answered two weeks ago, check all the computer news sites, reading some random computer rants on slashdot or osnews or digg, or some other tech realted site, checking a couple of blogs, etc..
and then all of a suddenly i say to myself.. i can do it tommorow, or the day after.. or maybe i will post something if somebody else posts something as well..
So i kept delaying and then there was more and more stuff to write about and i said to myself.. well i need loads of time to write it so i will do it later.. later.. later.. but for sure i will do it.. someday..

Luckily i started chatting with Roman on MSN, and while we are chatting i am writing this blog entry. Obviously i like multitasking and don't fell like doing one thing only.

Well, the trip ( hitchiking round EE ) was fabolous. We ( me & a friend ) thougt it would take 3 weeks, but actually we were in Gdansk ( the hole we aspired to reach ) in just 4 days.. 1550 km in 4 days - not bad at all ;). Especially, since we barely moved on the 1st day. We didn't even manage to get out of Slovenia. Knowing how small country Slovenia is, 1st day made us depressed a bit. But on the 2nd day everything started to turn out great.
Among other things we managed to see cities as Budapest ( capital of Hungary ), Prague ( capital of the Czech republic ) and Wienna ( capital of Austria ).
The good thing was we commited ourselves not to visit any museum or art gallery. That decision can really make your holiday enjoyable.
We managed to met almost 40 wonderful people, who were respectful enough to take us onboard. Some of them ( like Hungarians ) didn't understand a thing, so we communicated by poiting different locations on the map.
Others managed to speak only a little bit of english or german - enough to be understood, but yet sound very funny ( read some of Xiangming's quotes and you will understand what i mean;) ). With some of them we had interesting conversations about their country, which you will never learn or read in any encyclopedia or tourist guide.
For example if you go to a pub in Poland and say something bad about John Paul II, they will probably kick you out. They are proud of him that much.
I mean that's cool.
So if you don't like someone, send him to poland and write John Paul sucks on the back of his/ her T-shirt and see the results.
I liked the trip - it was very spontaneous and we got quite lucky on several occasions. It really makes you feel good if someone stops after waiting for an hour.
You can see a picture of me chilling on the Baltic shore.
Othwerise i was doing more or less nothing.

You know realxing, waiting for classes to begin..

Oh, yeah ! I forgot !
There was a really nice LAN-party here 2 weeks ago. It lasted all the way till morning.
It reminds me of happy times, when there was a gaming activity.

I was going to write a little bit more.. but i need some sleep in order to be productive tommorow. I need to finish some things..
I will write about it.. later .. later.. later on in life ;)


p.s. All ex Finland housers 102, post something up here.
I wanna know wassup with ur lives.
