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...

Algeria

Am i going or not ?
Don't ask me, i don't know ..

Jogging

I guess i got pretty bored, but i decided to start jogging about a month ago. Of course i am way too lazy, i just do it when i feel like it, so it looks something like this: jogging for 3 days and then nothing for a week. Repeat as needed.
I have this standard route i take. It goes through the forest and through the fields, it's really nice. It's a bit varied with two instanced of uphill running ( not too long, though, otherwise i would have given up ) and some pathless areas, which makes it all more interesting.
Anyways, i have been running against the time, just to make it more interesting. I like to get myself a good run. It's kinda cool when you get a bit tired and you say to yourself, ok i need to stop, but actually you don't and you can keep on running, only if you wish to.
Well, i broke my personal best and now it stands at 24:43.62


When i started running it has been a bit above 30 minutes. So i have made quite some progress. This makes me feel quite satisfied with myself.

So it's been good so far.

Looking good..

As you might have read, i have set myself a goal for this summer, to get my lazy ass out of this stinking and old Europe ;). I decided for Algeria, cause i think it's kind of cool country. I have read a little about it, i liked what i heard and the decision was made.
Unfortunatelyi couldn't find anyone to go with me. People were either out of cash, or lazy non-adventurous slackers, or non-adventurous hard working freaks planning to work the whole summer earning money ( guess they haven't figured out summer is about spending, not earning ) or adventurous people already have their destination in place and it's certainly not Algeria. For a moment there has been a glimpse of hope as one friend offered her to go, but then changed her mind due to school work ( read: diploma to write ).
After that i have been trying, asking people around, but couldn't really find anyone at all. Although i am generally very independent emotionally and don't have problems changing environment people around me, i would still prefer some company, it's just much more fun this way. People there don't speak English (only bloody French), so if you have someone you can chat and support each other in your crazy ideas. So i chose not to travel alone at all. But still, there was just simply no one to come with me.
As all got dark and gloom and it seemed like i am definitely not going anywhere this year, a guy i know gave me a hint to post an offer on this website, backpacking people read. And voila, in 2 days i got an answer. So now there is hope again !
From the response i think it might just work out.

Hooray for the internet. ;)

This is summer ?

14 degrees centigrade in July ?
And that's summer ?
You gotta be kidding me. Oh, and in addition to that i forgot my umbrella in Ljubljana ( I learned from the experience a year ago, and now i have a backup at home ).
Fortunately it will stop raining tomorrow...
