This and that
My freelance work came to an end today as I’ve fulfilled all the hours (plus more) me and my employer agreed upon. It was nice to see their new offices today (the people I did the programming for finally moved into the offices of the company that took over their company); they’re in a really nice location in Rotterdam. I wasn’t too impressed with the whole ‘we are a modern company so we put everyone together into a single but large and spacey room’ office design (what’s up with that trend?), but it wasn’t as bad as I had expected.
Now that I’m finished I should really concentrate on my studies. It’s important that I take care of certain things before I start my graduation internship (which I also still have to arrange). I’ve been putting it off for the last few weeks; partly because I’m not good at multitasking, but also because I’m not really looking forward to it. Thinking about it, it’s really even not that much work, so starting next week, I’m planning on giving it my full attention (read: as much attention as I can possibly gather).
This weekend there’s finally another Fonzie Lan. It’s become increasingly difficult to get everyone together lately; it’s been almost a year since the last one! Although this lan is shorter than usual and won’t have many attendees, it’s better than nothing. Besides, I get to hang around with my friends for two days, which is always nice. I really need to rest though, because I haven’t been sleeping much the past few weeks. It’s not that I’m exhausted (I slept less than six hours last night, but I wasn’t even tired). but I just don’t think I’ll be able to keep it up this weekend if I don’t get a good night’s sleep now. For some reason I never sleep very well the day before a lan, so it’s probably best if I sleep in the next few days. I don’t like going to bed early – it almost never works for me because I just can’t fall asleep – so I’ll have to settle for getting up a little later. But I also don’t like getting up too late – because it’ll feel like I’ve wasted half my day – but every once in a while I still enjoy sleeping late.
Well, I’ve finished eating my carrots and I’m out of useless things to write about, so I guess I’m going to watch some TV for a bit and maybe fall asleep in front of it. I’m actually pretty tired after all…
