If

Phew!!!

Almost done now, I had my JAVA exam yesterday, and then there's only an oral in litterature left, which will at worst downgrade by one mark. Really can't believe I made it, still it's the same story all over again. I'll start the semester with the best intention of making some drastic changes regarding how and when I'll work, feeling absolutely optimistic that "this time I'll do it right!" Then as always life decides to intervene, and nothing turns out the way I wanted.

Next semester, I'll do it differently...

No Worries

Wine sure must be the solution sometimes. As I've said before, I don't think I'll ever be an alcoholic, I don't have the urge or gene or whatever for that. But what I'm doing right now must be the smartest thing I'll ever done before an exam. Earlier today I took a drive to a friend of mine, hooked up the computer and studied hard for 4 hours. She then lured me out in her garden to catch the last few sunrays for the day, accompanied by a glass of wine. Suddenly I relaxed and realized that by Monday 1 pm, the exam will be done either way, and I'm looking forward to it. No worries, mate, as we used to say Down Under.

Energy Boost

This was exactly what I needed right before the exam. Had a most wonderful evening, listening to some real good music. e.s.t. played at Nattjazz, and they really did a remarkable performance. Excellent, and now I'm happy. Sometimes I think I could survive on music alone.

Hi Angela!

Thanks to you I now look like Babe Ruth! After reading your post "Celebrity Me(s)" I too was curious about which gorgeous celebrity I'd look like. I followed the link to My Heritage, but 'cause I didn't have a suitable photo I quickly loaded my digital camera and took a shot of myself. I forgot to smile and the result was depressing, the two people I resembled most was Leonardo di Caprio and as mentioned, Babe Ruth. I was so unsatisfied with this I didn't even think of taking a screenshot, and I deleted my own picture.

Ok, let's give it another try, I thought, and took another selfportrait which didn't work out any better:

Finally, I had a third go and smiled like an idiot to the camera. Well, how about that? Keira Knightley? I can live with that.
