Long ago since my last post, long ago since there was something big to tell. Routine sets in. Waking up in the morning, if I have to translate, then I have to stand up even 90 minutes earlier than usual. After translating catching the bus. One day I had a little bus adventure. First I overslept, second my bus was not going, third the busdriver of my new bus did drove into a wrong street and had to find his way back through tiny ways. Afterwards 8,5 hours at Atos and back home. If the weather is like now, warm and high humidity, I am only tired when I finally arrive home. Maybe a nap then and afterwards coming through the evening somehow.
But of course there are more interesting things. Once I spent a weekend at my parents place making a small cycling tour and once I was in Netherlands again. One day I had to go grocery shopping in Vaals (Netherlands), because I figured out too late that I cannot get meat for barbeque in Germany on a holiday.
Work is going so well. This week I had high motivation. I worked alone at the project, because my supervisor took some hours off. So I had to get through everything by my own. Software engineering you have to imagine like this: you have problem, you think a lot, you read a lot, you draw a lot, you program a little bit. Afterwards the problem is solved and you like your solution in the end so much that you invest even some extra time in it to make it even neater. It is your little pet. It is clean, it can walk, it can carry things. It helps, it works. You are happy and you always believe in this damn illusion you did something well. And at one point you have to admit that your solution is only neat in your believes. Suddenly there is another technique which you could have used, if you would have known it. A lot work for almost nothing and your favorite pet turns from a stallion into a jackass. This is pretty much the story of this day. Only that I lost even a few pets. Now I have to learn again stuff to do it well this time - I hope. And here it starts again...
But I can announce some good news: I booked my train and plain to Sundsvall. So from 21st of June evening to 24th of June early early morning we could meet in Sundsvall, if you are around. If you can make it one day earlier to Sweden you even can experience the actual Midsommar night from 20th to 21st. I do not have any further concrete summer plans, but I already heard from some possible visitors. Anyone who wants to spend some days in Aachen/Aken/Aix-la-Chapelle/Oochen/Oche is welcome. Oh, by the way: Everyone who wants to live in Aachen/Aken/Aix-la-Chapelle/Oochen/Oche, too. My flatmates are moving out soon. Anybody interested in one or two rooms in a bright appartment in a historical city next to Belgium and Netherlands? If you give me a call, you're in.
Until then, I count the days until Sweden. Exactly 3 weeks to go until my trip starts.
