Working or not ?

Well, i have gotten a bit lazier than usual. I am anticipating the result from my biochem test for 3 days now, there are still none. Hate that. I hope i will manage to get something decent, regardless of my non-studious nature.

I have been in Amsterdam last week at some sort of a meeting about a research project i am participate in. It was very nice, i thought it would be more dull and boring or stresfull, however it turned out to be informative ( i got to learn some new stuff ), not too informative ( i could grasp the vast majority of the stuff they talked about) and relaxed. I had the time to explore a little bit of Amsterdam in the evenings ( i was there for 3 days ) with some other young people from all over Europe.
The organizers even took us to a Chinese restaurant, and they managed to run out of Heineken ( and all other Dutch beer as well ) so, i tried Chinese beer. So that was yet another international experience. Marvelous :)
I realized the Dutch and Norwegian are quite similar in the way neither of them care much about the weather. They just ignore everything, but the really heavy rain. If they wouldn't do that they would need to sew their umbrella onto their heads or something. It was raining allmost all the time i was there + there was more rain forecasted. And just when i managed to get home the low pressure zone ( read rain ) has just managed to reach Slovenia ( after something like 2 months with almost no rain . Isn't that lovely ?

The year is coming to an end, and so the exams are coming into the play. I feel reasonably confident but really need something to motivate myself. The subjects in general seem far less interesting than the ones in previous years. I guess i will managed to pull something good out of it. I always have, at least partially.

Attempt to make some proper plans for the summer. The problems is not many people around here are travelers. They just go to the seaside for a week and that's it. I would like that and also add a week or two going backpacking somewhere unknown, keep on moving and do not know what will happen during the day - i want something spontaneous and unpredictable.
Where to go, it's the ultimate question - oh and also - who should i go with ?I think 2-4 people is the best number of people to travel. Yet i can't really find anyone.

I lost my sunglasses two weeks ago. If you happen to see them somewhere do let me know ;)

what kind of research programme is this? i assume it has something to do with chemistry?

good to hear you had a good time!
