This is pretty much the quintessential Hubski post. Chewy content, a reminder that people out there are thinking about and remembering the lives of other Hubskiers, a reminder to me that there are other people out there whose delights and tribulations I missed, a post that itself aspires to be a Hubski sub hub around which Hubskier can create a hubbub, a demonstration that we're not just text on a screen with no memories or empathy.

For those asking, this is why Hubski is Hubski.

To address your question, TNG, the #hubskiliterarything is on schedule to reach the end of Phase One ('Acquire Literature') in the next couple of days. Just two of the eight-wait-no-nine books are still to arrive at Literary Thing central.

Originally the number was fixed at eight books, one for each dot around the central hubwheel. Seven people responded in the original thread leaving one free seat in the selection thread which GorGorGorillaNeck snapped up.

However in a subsequent related thread about marginalia, veen pointed out that _refugee_ had arrived late to the party and maybe we could squeeze her in. Thus she, Veen and fate cashed in her Golden Joker, which corresponded with my entirely arbitrary realisation that the central hubwheel was a bonus ninth seat on the bus.

And so we are nine.

Fate willing, next week is Phase Two ('Disperse Matter Globally') and then it's a waiting game until things arrive at their destinations. Which is sad for me as I started to leaf through a few of the books I hadn't read and almost immediately got sucked in. They will fly from my hands too soon, too soon.

Which reminds me: kleinbl00 and _refugee_ PM me addresses please.

_refugee_ -Did you just get a new tattoo? I recall seeing something like that while trying to peruse Hubski on my phone, while my daughter was at dance class. How is the poetry coming along? Any new publications on the horizon? It seems 2014 was a good year for you in that regard, right? How is life with the boyfriend? All good?

I am late to the game on this one. And if anyone has noticed I may be a little late to the game at Hubski in general, or may have been. I am juggling things including a growing hate of my current/new job and I find that I have less Hubski time (or at least it seems to me) as a result.

I did just get a new tattoo. Take a look:

I am very happy with it. There is some background information here but I figured I'd elaborate a bit more and do it justice here, so mk here is a better answer. I'm sorry, I don't Hubski mobile well, and I responded to you on mobile. This is generally the summation I've gotten down to tell people (it still takes a few minutes, it's a complex story, but all the better for such a tattoo, I think):

So, Jimmy Fallon's father, James. He's a scientist, he studies brains. One day he was in the science-y medical place where they look at brain scans. At that time he was doing two studies: one was a familial, casual personal study looking at brain scans of his family members, I think for genetic diseases or trends, not sure. The other was a formal study of psychopathy. At this point it should be mentioned that the brain scans of psychopaths are visibly different from those of non-psychopaths; different areas "light up," to be a layman about it. Anyway, James is in his study, lookin' at a brain scan and he thinks "Aha! We have a perfect example of a psychopath here! Wonderful!"

Then he looked at his notes. Turned out, that scan wasn't from the psychopathy study. It was from his family. So he looked up who it belonged to, and it turned out to be - him! Well, he was nonviolent, he'd never killed or tried to kill anybody, but he did indeed otherwise fall into classic psychopath behaviors. So they interviewed him, and I think he wrote a book.

In the first link I provide the Hubski link for the article I read, in which they interviewed James. One of the things they asked him about was love, and romance. And he admits that "even the most hardcore, cold intellectual wants to believe in the romantic notion." He calls it a "disappointment," when he realized he would never have that. That specific paragraph in which they discuss this "romantic notion," as he terms it, really resonated with me. Why?

Well, because I try to think I'm that cold, hardcore intellectual. That I don't need love or want love. But deep down at the heart of it, I do. I know I do, though I may deny it or say I'm not capable of being in a relationship or anything. But you know what? If a psychopath can admit that even he wanted love - a person who genuinely probably isn't capable of it, at least as we know it - then I can too, or at least, I should be reminded of that. To me, it means - everyone wants love. No matter how we deny it.

:)

Poetry - it's coming. Got a really exciting opportunity tomorrow actually, I'm going to go to a poetry workshop group up in Philly for the first time, see how they are. Maybe I will join. I am hoping it's a good opportunity to get regular feedback on my work by people I trust to "know" poetry. (It can be hard to swallow poetry advice from people who don't read it a lot. I admit. I have my sensitivity there.) Nothing new to announce about January 2015, besides the Deer Skin poem which I know you saw went up and my poem over at Cider House Review. Bop Dead City will put two of my poems in their January issue whenever it goes live but to spare the expectation of any of you buying it I may re-post them online once it goes up - linky

I still have the goal of self-releasing a hand-bound small selection of poems by end of 1Q2015 but there are 2 poems I want to have feedback on before I'll feel totally content with them so the project has been on hold waiting for tomorrow's workshop (where I am being brave and asking them to look at the first of the two).

2014 was extraordinarily good for publications for me. I am hoping 2015 will match it but not optimistic and as usual not enjoying the submission process.

:)

Uh, the boyfriend. Hmm. It's not great but I'm hoping it'll improve. Long story short is he thinks/feels we're at 100% but I am not at 100%. I am hoping it gets better. He's making some life choices I am sure he feels are very necessary and important but I am having a hard time agreeing with them. Because he is a dreamer and I am not. But they won't harm him if they don't pan out, it's just frustrating to watch him 'try' knowing he will most likely get nowhere. However I suppose he has to feel like he's done it instead of just - wake up and smell the coffee. Haha. Hard to sum. Not really worth going into more, though.

Overall - things are OK. I hope they get better, but they aren't bad and could be much worse.

Best wishes to you TNG and thanks for the care.

I DID IT! Woo!! It was quite a rush to be able to play. I'm on a train back to Boston now, so I'll have time to write the trip report and let you guys in on as much as I can! Thanks for keeping in touch. IRC soon?

Dude I AM still roasting coffee. Also my palate is developing to the point where I can tell the region the coffee came from more or less by taste. That is ridiculous and kind of funny to me. In spite of myself, I now have strong origin preferences (love me some Costa Ricans) from various roasters, and the stupid flowery language people use to describe artisanal roasts make sense as a descriptor and upon tasting. I'm still a bit surprised by this.

DC is great! I'm the "heir apparent" for the officially designated full-time job that will be opening very soon, as a good friend and helpful coworker will be leaving. So from there I will go from abject poverty to... A level that I would consider comfortable at any point in my life, I assume. I will be making more than my mother ever has, and more than my father ever did while he was still around and before keeping us financially hostage. I can't fathom going from making less than 15k a year to what it will be. It will also mean that I am entitled to tuition remission, meaning free education finally. I'm chomping at the bit, but it's still a month or two away from fruition.

arguewithatree and I will be getting our own place probably in the next year, which is exciting to think about after years of living in shared houses under, in my case, abusive and bloodsucking landlords, or in her case, almost being made into a skin suit by a violent and clearly unwell roommate (she can fill you in there.) She also has a car now, so we're going to be free to explore the states around us soon. Perhaps NC will be in the visitation queue soon.

I hope you make it out here soon! Having a second DC meetup would be fantastic as well. The city is lovely around March when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, but winter is still my favorite when everything is covered in a fine layer of snow.

psst...tng...your inquiries are magic, two poems were accepted today unexpectedly.

I also told the bf to please also apply to bank jobs and not just graphic design and that he was equally qualified for both. I think he's mad at me now. I don't think me getting poems accepted this morning helps.

Bet it burns pretty hard when the person who tells you that "it's worthwhile to follow your dreams but only if you've built a foundation of skill" basically demonstrates the truth of this statement via a fresh success in her dream/passion the exact same day that statement was made. Bet it does.

You know what doe? When it comes to making my dream the realest I can make it, I fuckin' do that shit and I make it happen. It hurts, it sucks, it's never enough, but I git 'er done. If he should listen to anyone about how to achieve his dream career - well, I'm saying I'm a good candidate for that, is all, but the man don't want to listen. The man wants to reach out and be handed his dream, and that's not how dreams happen.

Hei Steve! So nice to round up folks -- du er helt topps!

Viking camp is purchased and I've moved in to the really great apartment over the business. We've begun taking out stuff we don't want and decorating with math artwork. Meetings continue with the county and state to get contracts to bring in teachers and classes in the fall. Looks like the money will be there.

It's an amazing property. It has a value of $1.3 million. I bought it from the county for $0.27 million. I think I just became a millionaire. Weird.

There's a lot to do right now, and I'm still working full-time at my day job. I'd post some pictures when I get the time and energy. I've just made a couple of sculptures I'm proud of. Here they are. The pair is called "The Fox and the Mouse", one is made from 60 wooden salad forks and one from 60 wooden spoons, they are polyhedral duals of each other so they have all kinds of splendid symmetric properties, and they're about 1 meter in diameter and cast the best shadows.

I have a lot of ideas for other art projects I'll be working on to make this place special.

Here's my company's website if you want to see some funny Norwegian letters. And a cool animated logo.

No shoutout, but I'll share anyways. Started running again, went back and forth across the smoots.

I've normally been a: go-slow-do-hills-don't-pay-attention-to-pace-just-don't-stop-running runner, but I figure if I'm starting from scratch again, I might as well try something new. I've heard before about HIIT, but I've never tried it before for running. I'm gonna try doing it 2x a week in addition to other exercises. Will report back if I don't end up breaking / fracturing / spraining my ankle within a week!

Hi! I've also been off Hubski more than on as of late, school got pretty busy there at the end of the semester. I'm done now, thank goodness. Hopefully I can spend some more time here in the coming weeks.

I'm so looking forward to fleeing this desolate hole! OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but seriously, I can't wait to go see the world. Or at least New York. Did I mention how pumped I am to be a short bus ride from NYC, the cultural hub of the western world? I kind of want to spend half my weekends at Blue Note. Gah! 7 months, man. You better believe I'm counting down. Nothing about it specifically freaks me out, but I guess just the idea of being totally independent is a bit daunting. I really am excited though.

Re: drums -- I still haven't found my mic, it's a real bummer. If it takes much longer I may just have to buy a new one.

PS Soundtrack to this thread

I just want you to know that flattery will get you absolutely everywhere.

Not much to catch up on. The semester is just getting started so I have nothing to bitch about except my apathy towards all of my classes. I use Trello to keep track of all of my shit now. Everything. Everything.:

But also classes and projects. I need to buy a physical board to put notecards on, though.

I was going to write (read: word vomit) a chapter of Hubskina but I'm drawing for it instead.

Haha sorry about not not posting any photos as of late. I wanted to post on the photochallenge but the timing was not the best. I keep thinking I want to revive the photochallenge but I feel like there's no way I can keep it "regular" cause unlike many of you people, i'm shit at time management.

Unfortunately no travel planned anytime soon (unless you count the trip we have planned to burlington for a concert) cause I gotta get some work experience going. Looking for an internship this summer but I've been told it's a bit too early to apply. So networking time!

Printed some business cards this morning:

Quality is not great (laser printer on paper made for inkjet) so I might get them printed at a shop.

Last couple weeks have been great, I like my classes for the first time ever and have a rock climbing class tomorrow!

How is little Atticus? Getting into toddler territory?

I really appreciate you reaching out and am honored that Papa Hubski is interested in the goings on of my life.

Living in Oregon has been incredible. I'll try to sum it up as much as I can.

A week after I graduated, my fiancee Kathryn and I packed up and drove West. No plans, no jobs, no housing. We stopped for a bit in KC (where we grew up) to see family and friends and continued on. We stopped in Cheyenne (which I don't recommend, Sketchiest place I've ever been) and in Boise before arriving in Portland the next day. It was as we pulled into a hotel in Boise that we received a call that we'd have a place to live for July. The housing market in Portland is very saturated and it was only because someone dropped out of a sublet that we had a place to stay. The day after we arrived Kathryn had an interview at a Montessori school in the SW where she nabbed a position as an assistant guide (in Montessori they're "guides" not "teachers").

We had a few days to spare before moving into our sublet in SW Portland so Kathryn and I went to camp on the coast for a few days. The Oregon coast is unlike anything else I've ever seen. It's so ominous yet majestic. I highly recommend seeing it.

We moved into our sublet and had such a great time hanging out with our new roommates. We were taking the place of a med student who was going to Peru to study a specific bacteria and our roommates were two med students and a recent transplant from Ecuador. Kathryn got a job for a few months working at Sur La Table (where she had been working weekends in IL) and I got a gig working at a cell phone repair shop in NW Portland. Since I had done that for three years when I was in school it was a cinch to get the job. It was about a 15 minute bike from the SW sublet through downtown Portland to the cell phone shop. Biking in Portland is awesome. There are so many bike lanes and cars are very aware of bikes. Biking is the fastest mode of transportation in Portland, unless you're going from one extreme to the other.

Kathryn didn't have too many hours during this time and I only worked two days a week so we explored as much as we could. I networked like crazy and really got to meet some cool musicians. Before moving I had contacted a guy on Craigslist about playing with him and the two months before I moved to Fossil him and I played weekly, performing once at an open mic at a hostel in the NW.

After our sublet in the SW ran out, we moved to a sublet in the SE. Again, the housing market is so saturated we interviewed the last day of our sublet, were accepted, and moved the next day. Whatever notion you have about Portland is materialized on the East side of the Willamette River which runs down the middle. The West is suit-and-tie, the East is as free-spirited as it comes. At this new sublet, we lived with three rats, four cats, a rabbit, a dog, and six other humans (two of which slept on the back porch). They were a vegan household, which I’d have been cool to try out except that the cats were always on the counters, getting their tails on everything. It’s good to mention here that it was while living here that I learned I have an allergy to cats. Our room was sick though. It belonged to a couple with a son and the woman was a painter who had filled the room with her fantastic works of art. In fact, Kathryn got me one of her paintings we always admired for my birthday.

This new sublet was a bit further from work so it took me about 35 minutes to get to work each day. But man, was it worth it. My route took me along the Eastbank Esplanade, a beautiful path that runs right along the river. It was beautiful. It was on a bike that I realized, similar to in Paris, lovers put locks in the bridge. Later on Kathryn and I put a lock on.

Towards the middle of July, I got a call from a job I had applied for in May. I was to continue interviewing for a position with AmeriCorps teaching music in a rural Oregon town. Fast forward a few months, and I’ve now been living in Fossil, OR since August. I have K-8 (amounting to 32 students) Monday - Thursday (the school district is can’t afford to have school on Fridays). I teach private lessons to about 15 students on a variety of instruments I’ve picked up along the way. Working with kids is incredible. They’re so positive and so full of energy. What the school system does through their domestication is a true tragedy.

Living in a rural town is quite the experience. The population of Fossil, including those in the hills, amounts to about 475. Aside from my roommate, 30, and myself there are two other young adults in town. Having this amount of free time has resulted in so many new discoveries, both in talent and personal.

With all this time, you’re really left along with your thoughts. I most certainly had a fair amount of inner demons that I couldn’t have worked through without Kathryn’s support. Truly, without her love I may not have been typing this right now.

I’ve picked up many hobbies. I’ve rekindled my love of reading. I’ve dabbled in charcoal pastel and acrylic painting. I’ve written a lot of music, of which I recorded most when I went back to KC over Winter Break. Life is good when I allow it to be.

Over Winter Break, Kathryn and I did find a venue and set a date for our wedding. It’ll be on a farm right outside KC on July 19th of this year. In an effort to save money, her and I have been hand making our save the dates. They’ve really turned out awesome. We split the work and then swapped when we got halfway. Wedding planning takes a lot of work, but it’s so much fun.

I think that’s about everything since I’ve moved to Oregon. I may have left out a few details, but if you read this much you’ve got a pretty good idea about what I’ve been up to the past few months.

Haha, yessss, I am at the end of the list! That means someone else was at the end of the list but you were afraid you might offend them, so you put me there to shield poor AshShields because, like a supernatural godlike being, I am beyond offense. That's what I'll tell myself as I rock myself to sleep with a bottle of wine in one hand and a loaded pop-gun in the other.

Hum, next book! I'll have to get back to you on the date, but I'm hoping soon. It's been three bloody years in the writing, so I'm keen to get it out there. If you PM me I can give you the super secret details. I think this one has the same sense of humor as Radium Baby, though there are more explosions. You'd hope so, at least. No-one wants a second book that's not as good as the first. Probably why Harper Lee never wrote anything else — poor woman knows no-one is ever going to write a novel that's better than To Kill a Mockingbird.

TNG! I've been a little busy as of late. Semester is over in a week though, then one more and I am free of the prison high school I have been in for three and a half years. I've been accepted to four colleges, waiting to hear back from the other four. They're all up in the northeast so I can continue to ski. I'm really excited to leave but terrified I won't make any friends or be motivated enough to go anywhere. I get to go out west to ski in a month and later in the year I'm going to Spain and Portugal for a week, so that should be a lot of fun. Other than that, I'm not doing much. Just the same old stuff finishing up the school year.

How have you been? What plans does the upcoming year have for you?

Hey tng!

Not in Washington yet, I still have one semester of college left, then I'll be home for a month and then I move to Washington and start working in July. However, my first week of work is orientation which is at their corporate headquarters on the east coast, so there will be a lot of flying in early July.

I'm very, very excited to start because I'm lucky enough to have gotten a job with a company I want to work for, in an area that's exciting to me. Plus, the benefits are great and it's a career development program which should be an amazing first job that will give me a leg up in the future. That said, I'm also kind of terrified because it affords me the opportunity to completely reinvent myself if I want to. There will be a lot of exploration, that's for sure.

How have you been? Outside of busy. How did working with the VP you had never worked with before go? Seconding asking about AshShields.

Anecdote that illustrates my life in general:

Last week, August (our son for those who care and I don't talk to on a regular basis) came down with his umpteenth lung-fuckage and had to be taken wheezing at seventy respirations per minute to the doctor. Turns out he has asthma and needs steroids whenever he gets a cold. Until he's like five.

But it wasn't too tough to take him, since we'd already scheduled a dr. visit for our oldest daughter, who felt like she had to pee every ten minutes... for the last ten days. Don't judge, time is scarce and we got to it as quickly as we could.

Our dog picked that exact day to shake his head so hard he broke a vessel in his ear, filling it with blood and swelling it up to the size and approx shape of a beautifully stuffed empanada, requiring a trip to the vet for a very involved and very expensive surgery, and leaving him with a shunt dripping all sorts of juices into his e-collar. For five days. Leaving our home smelling like a slaughterhouse.

Our youngest daughter escaped all of it free of any health issues, but it turns out she's fucking terrified of our dog when he's wearing the e-collar, and she's spent the past five days screaming in horror every time our poor beleaguered Banjo gets too close, which is like always since our house is "cozy" and our dog is "a horse."

That's how my week was, Steve, and that's how my life has been, and that, coincidentally, is why you haven't seen much of me 'round these parts.

But I'm having a damn good time working on some music that's been kicked my way, so there's always something to look forward to.

And while I'm updating, rezzeJ, re. New Years resolutions: I've been talking less (for proof, check comment history), listening more, and I've cut my drinking down to maybe one beer a night, with a two-drink night once a week if I'm feeling cray.

Steve! How's it going? I hope work doesn't grind you down too much - glad to here that the kids are good, though! It's funny - I was just tidying up in my room and was looking at the two TNG albums, thinking about how I haven't been on Hubski in so long, and the first thing I see is this post. I kind of drifted away a while ago and have only lurked occasionally since.

My bare feet are currently hibernating - it's been really cold over the past few months; I think I've only barefooted outside twice since November. But with the weather just about starting to get warmer, my feet will be coming back out.

The longest trek I've done is the Camino de Santiago which I'm sure I mentioned when I was last on Hubski - about 950k, I think, or something like that. we started in early October and finished in mid-November. My initial plan to do it entirely barefoot was thwarted when I discovered just how gravelly the paths are; in the end, I did about 350k barefoot. I'm still happy about that, but I intend to do my next camino entirely barefoot - and I'm definitely doing it again, because it was a fantastic experience. The country was beautiful and the people I met were wonderful; I really think some of the friendships made will last for a long time. In fact, we had a meetup here in Ireland at the start of January. Actually, two of our friends who we met on the camino - and who met each other there - have gotten engaged! And the fiancé is opening an English school in Korea that my girlfriend and I plan on teaching in for a year or so.

It's very hard to talk about the camino beyond saying "it was amazing!" because it all really amounts to "we were in a lovely place" or "we met a really cool person" or "we had a great time"; kind of had-to-be-there stories. Still, I highly recommend it to anyone. I was going to make a Hubski post but most of our photos were lost (along with the camera).

Not much is happening lately - after the camino, I had to settle down to a cold and uneventful winter; the camino ate up more or less all of my funds, and with English teaching being so seasonal I basically haven't worked since September. Thankfully, I got a bit of odd work in January and some weekend stuff back home, but more importantly I'm back teaching tomorrow! At least for now. It's finicky work. That's part of the reason why I'm excited to go to Korea in a few months - somewhere different, but also with consistent work so I'm not broke half of the year.

I'm glad to be back working and feeling productive because lately I've been in a bit of a slump. I've been waking up late and spending most of the day farting around doing nothing; I also feel like my brain is turning to mush since I left university. But I've started getting up earlier and reading more, so I'm starting to feel better.

I missed your annual New Year's Resolution thread, so I'll make up for it here. I have the same goals as the past two years - running (and sticking with it) and playing mandolin (and sticking with it). I also want to read more - I think last year I read something like ten books - this year I'm hoping to read five times as many. And lastly, I intend on giving up smoking - I don't want to be a Closet Smoker any more! So, basically, I have the most stereotypical New Year's goals ever (and apparently have learned nothing from those of the past few years).

That's pretty much it. It's great to see that things are going well with other Hubskiers.

I hope to see more of you around here!

Howdy tng! Sorry, been busy as a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest lately. Been doing all of the above generally, but not time enough for any! I've no doubt missed lots of good hubski discussion due to simply skimming it for a few minutes per day. Bees are doing fine, I'll probably rob them of some honey soon. One hive only - did have two, but one absconded over the winter for reasons unknown. The boat trailer needs some work so sadly I've been unable to enjoy that (no time anyway so maybe it's for the best). Thanks for all your great contributions to the hubski community, my friend!

Thanks for checking in thenewgreen! I appreciate your dedication to the site and had noticed that your use had slowed down a bit I figured it was due to a loving family and a real life. I am glad to hear that I was right!

The podcast is much more than a regular podcast (i.e. an interview format or similar) and I'm currently in the process of finding money for studio time and hiring actors. Our second story's script is pretty much done with some retouching needed and our first story's script ... well I gotta make some noise about it cause I'm getting anxious.

(EDIT: the coolest hubski thing you may have missed while you were busy.)

You rock, man.

My short term travel plans involve Iceland. Longer term, who knows? I'd love to move to Germany; I'm taking steps to make that happen. Next week I'm gonna take the Foreign Service Officer Test, which is the first step toward doing that as a career, which I have no idea if I want but it sounds damn cool so I'm doing it. It's glamorous like being a spy right? Whatever.

Life is pretty much the same. The sicknasty Cajun place around the corner from my apartment started doing dollar pints of the local brewhouse's ales, so I've been there a lot. Ya know how it is. I'm just livin'.

Hope everything is going awesome for you -- how did the day with the company veep go?

My applications for grad school are in and the teaching is going pretty well (though I am getting bored with it again). I just started working more hours and was in a position to start saving some money but it turns out that I need a root canal, which the temporary Massachusetts healthcare does not cover. It does cover an extraction, but no implant or anything and as I am in a face-to-face business, I can't afford to be missing a tooth, even if the state says I can.

As for the ladies . . . well . . . I have to say that I am not a fan of internet dating, though I can see why people do it. I've met some women I've thought were attractive enough, but no real chemistry so far. There seems to be a whole lot of fear in Boston's dating scene and it's kind of bumming me out, to be honest.

I'm hoping that all the groundwork I've been doing since moving back to Boston will start to pay off, but if not, I'll just have to come up with a plan B (again)!

Hey brother. I'm psyched as well. Will definitely take a day off to show you around. The weather will be fantastic outside so there will be plenty to do and see. I'm especially excited to beat you at tennis, so bring a racket if you can. I have a spare that you can use just in case but I don't want it to become an excuse for your multiple, multiple losses in a row. Don't forget your swimsuit too. We can go swimming in the ocean after the match. And who knows, we might run into a few beers along the way.

Life as a skeptic, never trusting anyone... must be rough. -Just kidding. How is the Michigan Skeptics group doing? Have your numbers grown over the years since we first met? That's quite a lot of work to keep something like that going. My hats off to you.

Hey long time no chat. MISkeptics is going well. We're set to pass the 500 member mark in Meetup soon (currently 496) and we're starting to make the push to go non-profit. How are things in your universe going?

I have a few projects in the hopper. Nothing to really share yet, but hopefully soon.

Hey Steve! It was no trouble at all making the best of 2014 list. The opposite, really, as it was nice to read the best that this place has to offer.

I'm back home safely, but I'm already planning for a summer roadtrip to Sweden / Norway with my friends. Gonna a sweet two weeks if it all works out. Before that, though, I'll be busy with graduating and writing my thesis. I won't be bored, that's for sure.

Thanks for thinking about everyone!
