Well, it's been hard keeping up: a lot of work and study, etc.
But all in all I can't complain. Things are still going my way, even if I've got still less time to socialize and have a personal life. I won't bother you with all that stuff though

So, how have you been yourself?

Not really... We're still somewhat waiting for my sister to decide on her plans, so we know which day we'll invite my grandmother and uncle over and which day we'll leave for ourselves. We might also be invited at my mother's aunt's, like we've been the past couple of years, but it wouldn't be fair to her to be expecting to be invited this year as well as we can't invite her back (she doesn't want to come driving down to us)

Apart from that x-mas holiday will be spent on fixing computer problems of friends of my parents and on making a introductory movie for our summer holiday videos in Cinema 4D - which has become less fun than it might have been because of the pressure that's now behind it - and if I've got time left I might get to cleaning up my room, working on a web project with a friend of mine and helping a friend of mine build his website. Luckily though I have a real holiday coming up in Januari, when we'll go skiing - and of course Christmas and Sinterklaas themselves won't be that bad as I'd have a valid reason not to work on those days

Figuring out a modest little website and hibernating.

Well, if I had Flash MX and knew how to fix up a decent website I would be happy to swap holiday plans. As is, the website'll probably take me all xmas and I'd still not be done, LOL...

Well, in the case of learning Flash MX, take a look at my current journal entry
Can't help you with getting Flash MX though

Oh, and if you need any advice or have a problem in Flash MX, feel free to ask (either by note, email or MSN). I'll likely be able to help (time aside)

Though it would be nice to have a higher resolution version, it wouldn't be for my desktop. My desktop's only a 1024x768

Thanks for the offer though

Well, actualy I ought to have and would have replied sooner. But apparently I just had too many browser windows open at one time to keep track of which pages I had actualy loaded (some of them waited around for weeks before I actualy got to reading them) And yeah, I just had to add it to my favourites. The image is so very impressive, that it's hard to ignore

I'm not all that sick. Just a minor cold really, clogging up my brain as well as my nose, caughing and sneezing all day long But it's something I've seen coming along for some time now. It's what I feel is inherent to my study. I just can't keep up with all the reading that's required of me and at the same time keep myself in good health (meaning I can only keep up by sleeping less) Rest isn't one of my options though, as I need to read a lot every day. And as my brain is slightly hazy both because of lack of sleep and because of my cold, it actualy takes me even more time to finish all my reading On top of that, my parents and sister are on holiday, leaving me to take care of the house and all the pets in it

On the up-side, I don't have to sit around the table waiting for everybody else to finish and can prepare my meal (which is a microwave meal and is very quick to prepare) directly when I get home from uni, thus cutting back some time


Still, I'm beginning to miss the easy, calm live I had about two years back. I didn't pressure me as much as my current study does The pressure I get from my study isn't stressfull like my previous ICT work though, so I guess I can't complain all that much

Just regular study. I've been working a bit during my holiday too. I even went to Egypt during that time. But now it's back to reading all day long

So, have you got any plans for what you want to do when you finish school?

That's what I did when I finished school as well

It can be tough though out in the working world, especialy when you're still one of the younger employees
