Almost Done...

Deprivation of sleep is torture. Torture is a human rights abuse. Writing a thesis deprives one of one's sleep. Therefore, having to write a thesis is a human rights abuse and thus prohibited under international human rights law. If only it would be this simple... Two days and counting...

Ugh

I'm falling asleep. How on earth do I do that? I wish it would be this easy every night instead of every afternoon, hahaha. I worked until 1:30 last night, was in bed by 3:00, to get up again at 8:30. Now I'm in the library, working on my freaking thesis, of course. However, almost finished, or at least: getting there. I hope to have new comments on my second draft by tomorrow, so I have a couple of days to just finetune it.

Scotland is coming closer every day, and now I'm almost done with my thesis (praise the Lord for the existence of fixed deadlines) I suddenly start to realize it more and more. Last thing I REALLY need to do is to get my loan for studying abroad at the IBG. I moved everything to next week though, first things first!

9 Days...

... until I have to hand in my thesis for the MA in Conflict Studies and Human Rights (Uni of Utrecht, NL) I'm currently finishing... It's gonna be some hard work the coming days, but I'll have it done on time. And then, one month of working fulltime, bartending, waiting (@ cafe Le Journal, Neude, Utrecht) until I leave.

I'm looking forward to going to Scotland together with my 'chillmattie' Just. The fact that we have everything arranged by now, including an apartment for the two of us on a brilliant location (5 minutes walking to uni, 10 to centre), takes away some of the tension.

I booked my flight. The 3rd of September I'll be leaving. My dad is joining me for the first couple of days, so I can take extra luggage and show my dad around. Soon after he leaves, Just will be arriving. Hopefully, his father will come by later that month by car, to take stuff we can't fit into suitcases, like our guitars, more clothing, etc.

The year in Scotland will probably consist of studying, going out, playing soccer (4 times a week), playing guitar (Just needs some lessons, although he has a better guitar than I do hahaha), drinking whisky, some occasional golf... Oh, and how can I forget... RAIN, LOTS OF RAIN...

Leaving will be strange though. So many people to say goodbye to (although Scotland is close), and very little time... We'll manage!
