While Lourien still is down under, a couple of my former classmates went to southern America to do some hiking, and they seem to do pretty well 🙂 Their travel-blog can be found here, yet it also can be reached by clicking the appropriate link on the right. Marita & Martijn: Enjoy! I am pretty envious of the fact you’re

Continue readingOn a regular basis, but slowly, the documentation needed to apply for mortgage is coming into our possession. As it is a painstakingly slow process, we’re hoping to complete it on May 2nd; just in time for our May 5th deadline! Mortgage-people: the first batch of paperwork is heading your way!
Continue readingIf all goes well today, I’m due to hand in my thesis this afternoon, around 3pm. About 4 to 6 weeks after that, I will graduate after a graduation-session, where my supervisors will try to ask all kinds of tough questions. I’m looking forward to it! 🙂 Until then, I’ll be working at Ordina. My first week is also nearing

Continue readingWhoa, that feels nice! I’m (finally) done waiting for the approval for my graduation! I’ve set up an appointment to deal with all the bureaucratic hassle that has to be dealt with at the university, but I’m not going to change a single letter of my thesis anymore. Done! yay! *celebrates* Update (2008-04-07): I’ve had to reschedule the appointment to
Continue readingThis kind of sums up the last week. I asked my supervisors at the university to accept the semi-final version to be the final version, for me to hand the thesis in officially and to finally graduate.
