Good times, Bad Times

This very nice Rolling Stones inspired Title is of course totally irrelevand as today I am only going to share good news. Just as the equally Stones inspired motto of my life ‘you can’t always get what you want’ but then again ‘don’t you worry try a little harder’ my life never seems to be easy and yet it never is so bad that I would like to change it radically. I hope I did not manage to totally confudse you now. And in case you wonder what it good about the above, well nothining really, just wanted to share the philosophy of some very wrinkly old men, whom I admire greatly. But here follow the good bits:

I finally managed to finish that d*** chapter, complete with footnotes, bibliography and ready to be handed in for my annual review which will take place on June17. I don’t know why so early, considering the fact that my second year only begins October4. But, of course all the bureaucrats want to fiddle with the documents as well and this gives them a good chance to have done so by the end of August, so that I can re-register in September. But the important thing is, ’tis done! I am so glad that I can finally move on to something else. Not that I will not come back to this chapter. It is after all only a draft, but a change of scenes from the 15th to the 19th century will do me good. I really enjoyed reading all about the history of the time, but in the end I was also quite confused because some bits of the histories were quite repetitive, whereas others weren’t and I could never remember which said what and why. So on to new adventures now!

Also, it is not long till summer now, meaning; I will soon be attending 2 weddings and 2 conferences (sounds like this could be the title of another odd movie ) I will go home and see my family after more than a year. I will miss Ben and Maya loads and loads of course but a bit of excitement will do me good.

And that’s it. Lot’s of pleasant prospects. Life’s good after all.
