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.
