There is something with how the light shines upon colours, making things glow.
Autumn. What else?

*learning new stuff*

Oh, apparently I don't have to apply for the next course within my study programme, it's done automatically (they transfer the people from this course to the next one...). Interesting, so different from what they did at my old university where you had to apply for all courses throughout the entire study programme (except from the courses during your first semester).

Am currently slowly working myself through the books & everything else that I need to learn right now, before the exam in the beginning of next month. Should also soon need to start with the short essay (due 23rd or so)...Focus is set to different learning processes and the basic use of them - most of it feels like psychology though! ;)

*learning*

Time to bury someone again

Heading to John's funeral :(


Surprisingly I got two of the books for my next course today (library books though). Wow, they can be fast if they want to. I also found out that I get to keep them for 6 days longer than I expected, niiiiiice ;) Still need to start reading them next week though. Exam on Monday morning, new course starts couple of hours later...

Also managed to fill up my bus card with some money today, a nightmare if you ask me. At least it is if you haven't registered your card. I seldom use mine (only use it to get to uni when we have our "campus weeks") so I never registered mine since
  1. you don't have to, it works perfectly well anyway;
  2. I seriously don't like the way they handle the information they get during registration;
  3. I don't like that they keep track of your travel history & link it to your profile (if you have a profile);
  4. they keep the records for longer time than they have to keep them by law (twice as long in fact...).
Additionally their signs (at ticket offices etc) say that you have to show them your ID card before you can buy a ticket and/or fill up your card (you can no longer buy tickets using cash at the bus either, that I can understand since they had a lot of robberies). However they managed to not check my ID card as I filled up my card, goooooooood! ;) But jeeeeeez, this world is going mad. Soon we won't be able to go outside of the house without that f***ing ID card. I am so tired of the fact that they soon monitor every step you take :(

Yet another Tuesday...

...goes towards an end.

...aaaaand it is still the same old story. Yet another week has passed by and we are still waiting for some kind of reaction that is not (yet) coming: We waited from mid February to end of May, without getting what we asked for - so we moved on. We still haven't had any feedback with respect to that. Now we are once again sitting here, waiting for things to arrive. It has been yet another THREE weeks now, we still see nothing moving and we can no longer even get a short reply upon an email with some simple questions.
How hard can it really be to just click upon reply and at least send a short "I've got it, sorry but I am busy at the moment. I will get back to you as soon as I have some time for it"?
We have been waiting patiently, more or less, for years now. Question is really if we are soon stepping over the invisible line between what's still acceptable or not...? It's close, damn close. Hmm?
