    Okay… so that was fun. Now, back to real life. Somewhat. Good news is, I finally got paid. Four months of stipend, right into my bank account. Yay! Now I’m going to gradually get rid of all the debts. Obviously I expect a lot of bureaucracy in the way, but everything is going to be…

It has been a while ago, but I’m testing this new feature, which allows me to post pictures directly from flickr. Things are starting to get right.
