I've been slapped in the face yesterday with the Hong Kong thing and I spent most my night thinking about what I réally wanna do with my life. And what I really wanna do, is move to Tokyo. So I made a list of things I'd need to do to get there.

Biggest issue is money (isn't it always), so I'm going to look for temp jobs for no longer than 2 years ( Read more... )

So far, this has been a pretty good day. I finally got a date and time set for my exam, 8.45 AM on Monday June 9th, which means I can start mentally preparing on getting up at six AM. *snigger* *groan ( Read more... )

Today has been pretty awesome (except for the blister growing on my heel).

I got the official internship goodbye talk (one of my bosses is leaving on holiday tomorrow): both my chefs were MEGA-pleased (and yes, that has to be written in caps) with me and the work I've done. I hadn't even given them the Belgian chocolate I bought them. So YAY ME.

The official countdown has started, though the number of days before I get home isn't clear yet.

My boss walked up to me today, saying I could leave a day early if I wanted, we could have my goodbye-thing (whatever that meant) on Thursday. It would be great to go home early, since I'd be able to go to Leuven myself to hand in both my thesis and my ( Read more... )

I did my presentation just fine -it took two hours, thanks to my chef constantly interrupting with questions and new ideas ( Read more... )

I got online -early morning ritual- and discovered a message from Niki on MySpace. He'd sent me the lyrics to a VNV Nation song that I love. I was the one to get him into VNV in the first place, but I doubt he knows how ( Read more... )

I'm in the home stretch of my translation, but I just can't be bothered to finish it. *sigh ( Read more... )

Next week the CEO of the company in Hong Kong will apparently be visiting my colleague, so she asked me if I'd like to talk to him. Why yes, yes I do.

Today will be spent looking up everything I can on the company and preparing questions I have concerning life in China. I plan to blow him straight out of his socks with my language skills and my ( Read more... )

I've officially finished all my research and I'm working on a big paper containing what I've done in my time here and all the details of all the analyses with pretty, colourful graphics and stuff.  So far I've got 33 pages with two more topics to go (I studied four different fields). Maybe I could hand this in instead of doing my German exam when I ( Read more... )
