I kinda knew this was coming...

Funny that I should mention in my first posting the fear i had about not having enough time/energy to make postings to this blog --

Lo and behold - I haven't contributed in two whole months...

I think we're all due for an update... so here goes...

1) My Studies
My study grants was suspended in February - but some fellow students pointed me to the possibility for a loan (so called End-Term loan) which apparently can be granted for all people who are less than 12 months away from attaining their degree - so I've applied and was accepted for this loan for 6 months
The up side: I get to complete my bachelor
The down side: I get to pay that loan back, with interest.
Anyways I'm ok...

My Grid Scheduling project was accepted - and the exam in programming languages was also passed - so now I'm down to 22 ECTS - and I'm pretty sure to have all those earned by summer...

I have an exam in Algorithms and Complexity on Saturday, but I've  joined forces with a nice study group so I'm not that worried about this...

2) Lambda - the local GLBT association
At the AGM, I chose not to run for treasurer... but if I thought I'd be getting off easily, I was wrong!

I got elected on the board - but thereafter I was rooted to run for (and was elected) vice president ...
-- but at least I'm done pushing numbers (for now) - although in retrospect, it was kinda pleasurable...

3) The next Prog Rock-artiste??
One of my friends is a guitarist in a prog/pop band - and he's their main composer as well... He's not the best singer, though, as I've come to learn from some of his demos -- but some time ago he asked me if I could/would  help him with the vocal duties for some of his more prog-oriented compositions (his band is primarily pop-minded)
 -- That's going to be an interesting challenge... I've been a church singer for 9 years - but one thing is to sing hymns and motets - another thing is to do a Derek Shulman... It won't come to anything before the coming summer (see #1) but I'm very excited about this as well ;-D

Oh ... and by the way : Gentle Giant rocks! ;-D

ta ta for now

Off topic ... a little

Thanks for adding me to your friends list. There seems to be an unusual pattern in your choices. All three of your friends are Sagittarius.

Spooky ... No?

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps ;-D

But I would be sad to realize that 'The great cosmos' would limit it self to only 'create' interesting people a 1/12th of the year - and do nothing (of interest) for the remaining 335 days... ;-D

Thanks for the compliment, but I can be fairly certain when I say that there are interesting people born in other times of the calendar year.

HUGS!
