Not much happened since my last update. I went to Nijmegen on Saturday with Tim, since internet told me they have a bookmarket there every week and it's only half an hour traveltime. Well, that was a dissapointment! There were three stalls, which were all three owned by the same guys. The books were hardly impressing. So we ended up doing a bit of shopping. Nijmegen has some nice places hidden behind the uglyness. I think it's worth a photo-trip when it's not a market day. When I've got time again...
Sunday was spent taking strange picture during a p52 photomeet. It was amazing! I had a wonderful time, taking pictures and having them taken. And of course learned a lot about studio-shooting.
Even though I'm not really happy with the result of the most, I'm quite glad with this one:

And, thanks to Ork, this amazing picture taken of me (I hardly recognize myself!):

Yesterday found me in a car for my first driving lesson. Spent the whole night awake, pondering about tens of dozens of different, unimportant, things, but didn't really feel nervous. Yeah, maybe about the fact that I had to be in Arnhem at 8, which meant getting up at 6.30... But lying awake especially made me really frustrated about the fact that I couldn't sleep, resulting in only more sleeplessness... But, I survived, even though I'm still not feeling too well.
My instructer said I was doing "average", which I don't really believe, but ahwell, it makes you feel less of an idiot. I absolutely hated it. I think I've seen every neighbourhood in Elst and Arnhem, taking every possible corner. It felt so useless and environmental-unfriendly... I know it's usefull to take a turn, but blurgh. You're just not _getting_ anywhere. Not looking forward to the rest.
Took the afternoon off (though I had obliged practicals) because I just felt too crappy. Slept from about one till five, so I think it was the best call to make.
And now back in the normal rithm. Mornings filled with thesis and tutoring (and sometimes driving), afternoons with colleges, practicals and pc's... I can't wait to start my internship! Thesis is almost done, so it's getting closer. Will be glad if I can finish it, I've seen enough of hedgehogs for now.
Oh and NaNoWriMo is at 3646, not nearly where it should be, but I'm finally writing!
