July, which is usually known for holiday weather, is almost over. Luckily, I'd almost say. July was the first month since two years I had only duties. Although, if everybody else is on holidays, working is somehow more relaxed, too, because you hardly get new tasks. So I worked quite well on my thesis. I bought a book called "Ontology Matching" which seems to be the only book of its kind. And I really think it is, because already in the first chapters are some obviouse misspells in formulas. However, it is a treasure for theory part and defining my methology. My self set task for the weekend is schematic sketch of my work. I even started to program, therefore my master thesis is even more practical than my earlier diploma thesis, - although it should have been the other way around. Well, as long as it is fun, I don't care. And indeed it is a little bit fun.
I also worked further on the project I meant to work at, of course. My program was running so far, but without any use, yet. This week they connected it spontaneously to the main software and it was running fine immediately. Wow. Although I know it is no great deal, I was surprised everything fitted.
The rest of the weeks is not so interesting to communicate. Highlights are sports and Spanish courses. Spanish course is even the highlight of the week. The people are nice and the language is - so - beautiful. Grammar is similar to Laten what I am supposed to remember from highschool. It is a compact course with 2,5 full hours every Wednesday. Since I have to work whole July also in the early morning shifts for my translation job, Wednesday became very late. Working from 6 to 6, one hour eating and power nap and afterwards Spanish until 10. I hope we can as soon as possible the conversation courses. And the more I learn, the more I want to go to Spain for practice.
So, weeks pass and middle of August is coming near when some old erasums memories are going to be refreshed. Older than those I refhreshed during the past months. First I will go to a Phil's birthday barbeque and one week later it is already that Solène and Sebastian from my 1st and 2nd semester are coming to Aken. And as I heard some more people from the 1st semester might join, too. For the following months nothing is fixed. There are only options I hope some will become certain. At least in November I guess that I will go back to Sundsvall for a few days presenting my thesis. And I am grow carefully the hope of still doing my bike trip to the Dutch sea, but that depends on workload's and contract's mercy. But before that I have to let my bike checked. Since I only used it for day tours, I doubt it is appropriate for a long tour. The highest two gears scratch and for flat land they are even too small. I already use them for hills, but at flat land I sometimes hardly can gain speed. And, I discovered yesterday, I need lights and reflectors. I cycled through the wood at night and I could not see anything. Luckily I was not cycling alone so I could at least guess the way in the spotlight of the other one.
I also planned to cycle today through the cycle paths between Aken and Maastricht, but it seems like the long promised rain falls will arrive here any minute. According to the forecast, it stayes like that until Monday. Great. Sounds like enjoying DVDs...
