First working week
Monday - Moving
I thought it would be a good day, to start my first working day with moving from one office to another... But besides that I was moving my stuff around and coordinating the movement, many people came to me and asking all kind of questions... was a crazy day :)
Tuesday - Vodka party
This day I unpacked all, and checked if everything went alright during my one week of absence. Already in the train back from Osnabrück, I called Koen, since no news about a social meeting by mail or internet; so we arranged a post NYE drink at his house with some friends. At eight I was at his place, Patrick from Rotterdam (celebrated NYE in Turkey), Ankie from Tilburg (celebrated NYE also with Koen in Berlin), Alfred from Delft (celebrated NYE in Leiden) came also. We started with a nice Vodka mix with lemon, that was just 12,5%; then we moved on to the one I drunk in Osnabrück the vodka with blutorange 17,5%... then I just poured in all the 4 glasses a bit of drink three, Patrick was not drinking since he came by car, the herbal vodka Aga gave me. Koen thought it was still 20%, and 20 minutes before we wanted to go to the unofficial social meeting, he poured my glass full... and this vodka is 40% :) The real stuff, and so nice :)) Of course I was able to drink all, and we went by car to the social meeting where we met Alexander, Maaike, Paul K., Steef and Job. At 2.30 Ankie and me left, at 3.30 we went to sleep :)
Wednesday - working till late
In the morning Ankie left together with me, and in the subway we said goodbye. My work was finally a bit less stresfull. I could even read a old thesis about lobbying :) I needed that since that evening I would write my final thesis proposal. I worked on that till 02.00.... was a nice working evening :)
Thursday - again working till late
At ten I had a meeting with my boss about the thesis, he gave me some advices but mainly about symantics :) This day I cooked normally, I made Macaroni a la René :) After that I went again working on my paper. I stopped again late, this time at 01.00 :D
Friday - Party Time!
D-Day :) But before I showed my proposal to Nicole, a coworker of mine, and she got me this far that I took the step to finish my studies finally. She was very critical... but she helped me a lot. When I had the meeting with the department boss, where I want to write my thesis, she was so enthousiastic... she is even willing to pay my costs if I would travel to Brussels even to London... why not :) So, I left that meeting with a good feeling. She gave two names whom could help me within her department, when I saw that one was still there working late, I went to his office and talked about it. Next wednesday I have a meeting with him :)
When I was finished with all of this it was 18.45; then I called Lara, since she wrote me an sms earlier. We made a dinner date at the best Italian restaurant, Alberto Getti :) We had a great dinner there. After dinner I rushed to the photoshop, to pick up my colored pictures from Berlin. I was home at nine and just 50 minutes later I left again :)
Since Koen and me do crazy things together, like inviting some friends to go to Rotown for a drink, and afterwards to the Vibes, a nice disco. I arranged Chris the Greek, and Diana the Activity Committee leader :) Koen asked one of his friends from Haarlem to come along. It was a nice time, after the disco we went to the Sjeik to eat some Dönner :) Since Diana is living near me, and she was wearing high heels she couldn't walk home, so we shared a taxi to her place. I came home at 06.10 :)
Saturday - new TV
Since I came home that late, I didn't went to bed. At nine they brought my TV, and I went to bed directly. But it was hard to fall in sleep since it was so light... I got out of bed at 16.00 :)
