just some lines

So as of today I have unofficially been on vacation for half a year,
and officially, for 5 months.
(the extra unofficial month is because there were 4 exams to study for and no classes)

I just thot you'd be happy to know, or a tiny bit jealous :)
In any case...my vacation is coming to a close.
today I got the schedule for this year and here's how it looks from october to christmas:
monday: get up 6 am, leave home at 7, hang around for an hour and start classes at 9, finish classes at 2 pm, lunch, start work at 3 pm, finish work at 8 pm, get home at 9 pm.
tuesday: get up 6am, leave 7am, start 8 am, finish classes and start work at 3 pm and cram in lunch sometime in between, end at 8 get home at 9pm
wednesday: no classes! work at 3pm, get home at 9pm.
thursday: same as tuesday.
friday: get up 6am, classes 8:30 am, finish classes at 12:30, hang around till work starts at 3 pm, get home at 9... crash and die for the next 2 days till monday comes.

who knows

Is there something I can do, something I can say?

For lack of new art or photos I'm going to rant today..and because I haven't updated in a while and no one really knows whats up with my life these days.

It's rare that I get on messenger, and even rarer that I talk with someone. It's like the distance between me and my old friends keeps stretching and then you barely remember who your friends actually were? Then one day someone pops you up and you have a long wonderful conversation with them and remember just how much you loved them. Then just like that they disappear again for a good couple of months or half a year.

Well it's funny how lives change and distance brings people apart. So apart. Worlds apart.

Mine has changed so much and I admit I dont do my part to really keep in contact. I tried, and gave up because it didnt work. Basicaly a lot of stuff has changed and theres a lack of things in common to talk about. If an everyday conversation is gonna be exactly the same as the day before you might as well cut it up and just talk every 2 months so you have more stuff to tell each other, right? Or maybe what I have to say just doesent interest anyone any more. Who knows. Long ago my life stopped revolving around my friends around the world and started to be centered into this part of the world, here and now.

In any case;

I've been on vacation at home for half a year (take that), I've been painting works of art, going out, hangin out with friends, hangin out with family, cooking, doing a microsoft office course, playing paddel, driving, working out papers, summer courses, art museum visits, a week with friends up in a hostel in the mountains, working in the house, in the garden, shopping...

I love my room, I have redecorated and its like living inside a peppermint gum bubble. I love my shower too, it's just an amazing place to be in. I love my house, my car, my family and my life. God is good. How much luckier can you get.

Last month was the "nephews" month. 2 of them spent 2 weeks over, a niece spent a week. I occasionaly babysitted some others and we had the yearly summer family reunion on which we become twenty-something people, everything is a mess and it's awfully nice.

This month I'm goin to french classes in the morning, gotta keep it up somehow or I'll lose it for lack of practice. Hopefully next summer I'll spend it in France and that'll be the apotheosis of my french.

Uni starts in October and my routine of getting up at 6 am will kick off. So right now I'm storing in sleep sleep for the months to come...heh. I love this uni tho...I love the people and it's gonna be fun.

Tomorrow I have an interview for an afternoon part-time job at the uni and hopefully I'll get something cool.

Long days, long drives, short year.

exciting.

well that was good for an update?

keep in touch, all you people.

or send apost card..at least.

Kayaks day

Grabbed some friends and went out to spend the day at a nearby lake. We had water, sun, kayaks, fights in the middle of the lake on top of the kayaks throwing each other to the water...twas great.


ahh, this was a great episode. when leaving the place it was soo packed with cars that we kept going down the road looking for a place to make a uturn, till we got to a point where there were so many cars parked they had blocked the street. SO! only way out was going on reverse 800 meters! what a moment.
