2010 - drawing to a close...

And a white one it seems to be !

Ever since I returned from Sri Lanka late November, the surroundings in Copenhagen have been more or less constantly white. Does snow beat the the pouring rain....? Beats me!

All I know, is that it was quite the rude awakening to return to temperatures well below zero, boots, coats, mittens, skarfs, sweaters, beanies..... You name it, and I'll be wearing it!

On the 'bright' side it does add a certain christmassy feel to the everday life, which otherwise does not exactly ooze christmas. We are well busy trying to deal with all the information and empirical data we collecting in Sri Lanka during SLDF 2010. It is offical though, that Sandra has written almost 30 pages of our Thesis, which honestly, is a bit surreal!!! But nice : ) I've been trying to grasp and come to terms with the ever lovely Foucault and other entertaining theories, which we are pondering on using. Monday, we have a meeting set up with our counsellor, and hopefully he'll be telling us that we are on the right track..... We are making sure though that ALL communication is handled on-line, when we're are not meeting up face to face. No need to get our selves into further....let's say...awkward situations!!

I would say that my life atm bears quite the resemblance to Bill Murray's in 'Ground hog Day', but I guess, it'll be like that until the 4th of April 2011, when we are, hopefylly,able to hand in our test piece!!! What a day that'll be : )

We are quite the pair by now though, Sandra and I, so I'm sure we'll be able work through it with our heads held high (most of the time at least!).

Apart from that time is just passing... My mind wanders off daily to Sri Lankan skies... Despite the unreasonably amounts of rain you've seemed to be 'blessed' with for the past month. Crazy, is what it is! But still, I'm pretty sure temp's are still pleasent, curries harry rasai, and what not :)

This New Years will undoubtedly take on a different form than last years spent at Wijaya's (this year two of my girl friends are spending theirs the exact same place - am I JEALOUS ? NOOOOO, not ONE bit!!!!). I have no plans yet, I reckon something will come up. All that is fixed is a short x-mas holiday with my parents starting from the 22 until the 29th. I'm looking forward to a bit of family time, though. Due to my time in Lanka last year, it has been awfully long, since I've seen all of my family, and as much as I enjoyed my x-mas last year, I did miss all the family traditions that x-mas involve, so this year I'm going all in ! : )

I guess along with the year waning, so is my time as a student and well, other things, leaving 2011 open for new beginnings and adventures.

Only one thing left to say:

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR

Ps: I was lying, when I said, I wasn't jealous ; )
