It's that time of the year again

Exams are approaching, so I should be working. Instead, I find thousand of other things to do, like watching as many episodes of "that 70s show" as possible (mail me If you got the first episode of season 5!), watching Edmund Blackadder throwing insult after insult to whoever is standing near him, following the giro d'italia (which is boring so far), joining clubs of crazy single woman who are apparently desperate to find a boyfriend...(allright, the last one is not entirely true, they're not all desperate)
Meanwhile I got more and more responsibilities. Word arrived from my Kazou camp in summer, they're is some kind of meeting the 28 of june, in the evening. Guess who's got an exam the 29th?
For the lot of you who don't know what kazou is, there is a vid to the right, If you know me, you can spot at some time in the movie.
I really should be working now.

busy times, busy times

As the end of the semester draws near, the usual rush to end all kind of projects is bigger then ever. Last week I managed to complete four, this week I'm stuck at 3, but I'll hope to increase that number tomorrow. If they only would be interesting, that would make things much better. But alas, they are not: construction of a CMOS-transistor, temperature dependent resistors using for temperature detection, semi-conductor lasers and others are driving me mad.
On top of that, they expect us to choose a subject for our master thesis. We got a whole bunch of possibilities, so I've really busy to read them all (at least those of which I didn't fell asleep after reading just the title). After that I went to some profs and assistants to hear what they expect from their subjects. After long consideration I've selected "slot waveguides for biosensing applications" as my first choice. I hope that turns out good.
Meanwhile, the spring classics are over and the belgians managed to be the losers of the peloton: Boonen third in the primavera, Hoste second in "de ronde", Leukemans fourth in P-R, and they didn't play a role in the Amstel and the doyenne at all. And the giro doesn't promise to be any better. Poor, little Belgium (and there are still some lunatics who want to make it even smaller, fools!)
Still have a lot on my mind, but I'll save it up for another time.
