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.

cycling season is at hand

Last saturday, the first big classic of the new season took place in Italy. I found it a very interesting race with a good performance from some ofthe Belgians. Philippe Gilbert was the only one who could answer a furious attack from the new Italian wonderboy Ricco. Too bad, the didn't make against the furious peloton.
The other Belgian, former Worldchampion Tom Boonen, lost the sprint against Davis en Freire. Though it has to be said, Freire was simply the best. I think Boonen will be very good in the classics he like the most, The tour de Flandres and Paris-Roubaix.

We belgians also have a soccer team. For rather obvious reasons, I don't wanna talk about them today ;)

First post

Yep,

I finally got around to create a bloggie thing. Let's see, I think, it'll only be appropriate to introduce myself first. I'm jevaly, though you probably guessed that already. I'm 21, living in Belgium, an imaginary country north of Disneyland Paris, and studying at Hogwarts highschool for engineers, also known as UGent, faculty of engineering. I'm currently in my fourth year, so soon I'll take the step to the business world.
As a matter of fact, I already had the opportunity to taste a little bit from the business world, as I competed in the BCG strategy cup. Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the finals, but hey, it's the experience that counts!
I'll probably tell another time about my various hobbies and interests, cause I'm too lazy to write anything else right now.
