This is what my bike looks like these days. Sometimes I wonder if I did move to Lappland or to Uppsala..!

Happy Birthday

Wow!
It sure has been a while since I was last here..
Can't quite believe this fall is already over and we're approaching the end of the year. I guess, the busier you are, the more swiftly time flies by.

School is a challenge. I think mostly because most of my class mates are very ambitious and so am I. And thus, we don't want to leave anything unread, and that's gonna kill us in the end! The course we just started after having taken the first two exams last Friday, is going to mean no spare time whatsoever. I don't understand how they think sometimes. The head of the department who runs this class is not my favorite man in the world. He surely has no sympathy, and it seems like he wants us to suffer, not to learn.

Today it's my birthday. I must say it's been rather weird being on my own in a new town on a birthday. It feels like I'm further away from all things familiar today than on any random day. Strange feeling to wake up without anybody there.

To conclude this post, I need to bitch about something. I don't think it's OK to, as a close friend, wish somebody happy birthday via facebook or SMS unless you're abroad or something. Do you? I think that today's technology has taken away from real friendships. Facebook is for keeping in touch wíth people far away, or finding out what happened to friends you haven't seen for years. Not for maintaining close relationships..

Over and out.
