Deano, there's a possibility my dad might be through San Diego sometime in Jan-Feb. If he does, I'll make him take you out drinking.

It's been going like that for weeks. I need a break. Not to mention today has been a huge disappointment in nearly every respect.
 
You can't imagine how much I'd love to.

I occasionally get to meet some people in the evenings. The first thing they all do is pity me for coming straight from uni. My flat is a mess, I really need to clean it up, I really need to get a haircut and whatnot... I can't find the time. At least I managed to do my laundry on Thursday at 8 AM.
 
Damn, I had the craziest dream.
I think Some alien strain got into earth and started turning people into vicious monsters, and me and some other people ran from them for hours, and the whole thing had plot development and what not.
I think I ended up saving the world, but people still turned after that. Kinda creepy.
 
Hah, doesn't beat my most absurd one.

I once dreamed that I was going to jump in Holmenkollen, Norway's national arena for ski jumping. I had just managed to build up courage to do so, and arrived in the tower on top. There I found myself in a sort of "lobby", where a woman was sitting behind a counter. I asked her for my helmet. Then she told me I didn't need a helmet to jump, but I had to wear a scarf - of all things! Then she pointed out of the window, to the jump itself. There I saw a jumper on his way down the run-in - without a helmet, but with a bright red scarf around his neck. The most absurd part of it?

The jumper was none less than German footballer Jürgen Klinsmann!

I can get that.  I'm not comparing or complaining, but my new job has been an adjustment for me-- I am usually up at 5:45 to get myself and my daughters up and going in the morning, to get them to school and me to work on time.  Then home about 6:15 at night to try to feed them, do dishes and laundry (which is insane what 3 kids can make for laundry!!), homework and bed by 9:30.  Still, I have time to goof off and I have weekends-- nothing like what you are dealing with right now.  Working and school is a hard bit-- it takes dedication and desire (that I have done before)-- but, you'll get there, and have something to show for all your work.  I know you don't need advice, but I have found that when I look at my disaster of a house, I get a little overwhelmed and just bail on the whole cleaning project.  However, if you just take 10 min a day to do something small, it'll all come back.

Anyway, invite to Illinois is always open.  Granted, its running anywhere from +3 to +4 C here, but you can come sit on my lazy boy, watch some movies on netflix and relax with some Bud Light!  Haha!  Just kidding, I don't make anyone but ex-inlaws drink the light beers.  :innocent:

I would really like your feedback when it's over. To me that period was one of the brightest (also darkest: then I was feeling it dark) periods of my life, but I realized it a couple of years after.

I was working full time in my first shipping job and I had to achieve the Certification of the yard according to -then- ISO 9002: 1994. Remember: I was not even graduated. Plus I had to deal with a HUGE, once-in-a-lifetime issue. In addition, I didn't even had a computer, so every night I had to call friends to find where I could type my thesis. For all three (thesis, certification, issue), there was a specific time-frame of 9 months. After that, it was the Army and I could get no more extension, no matter what...
The way I dealt with it, was to push things to the limits. Parties, drugs, friends, song composition, house cleaning, cooking... Never in my life I did more of those. I was sleeping 2 -4 hours a day for 9 months. Finally I was on time in all three fronts. My thesis was a 10.

I'm sure, not sure; certain that you'll make it more than fine. You will kick major asses, mate. The only thing I'd like to know, is your impressions about this period, once you made it!
 
My parents are having my dad's sister and her husbend over for dinner. Maybe the first time in 6 years they've been here.
Gonna be awkward.
 
Oui, ma vie
Ce fut d'être celui qui souffle - et qu'on oublie !
Vous souvient-il du soir où Christian vous parla
Sous le balcon ? Eh bien toute ma vie est là
Pendant que je restais en bas, dans l'ombre noire,
D'autres montaient cueillir le baiser de la gloire !
C'est justice, et j'approuve au seuil de mon tombeau
Molière a du génie et Christian était beau !
