While Nygard and Xinola are downing Pina Coladas and relaxing under the Mexican sun, I'm having a holiday of a different nature...
In order to finally finish my studies I have taken two weeks off from work. In this time I'm supposed to dive into the disturbed mind of probably the single most repugnant caracter in human history (no, not Berlusconi or Lukasenko, we're looking for a 20th century German dictator here), and then resurface with a balanced account of how it all went wrong. A task, that seems to me to be deeply ironical in the first place. Well, I only have myself to blame for the topic of my paper.
Anyway, after that paper is written, I can finally say good bye to the wonderful world of academia. Not much of a change really, since I've been working pretty much full time for the past few years while claiming to be a student to save a few cents in museus entries etc. Sad, I know, but there you go.
As you can probably tell, I'm not exactly packed with energy and enthusiasm when it comes to finishing my studies. I mean, a person who rather writes a blog entry about having to write something else is hardly a prime example of the kind of academic determination needed to bring one's studies to an end.
Right, back to work (i.e. sulking, cursing, and utter unproductivity).
N and X, I leave it to you to come up with something positive and life-affirming for this blog.
