Week 3


Flevopark under the winter sunThird week already in full steam, and Outlook work calendar looking as busy as ever. Amazing how just one more week is sufficient for one already to start doubting some new year’s resolutions. But in any case I’ve kept mine, for the most part :-)

Academically speaking, having a class twice a week is indeed too much, especially when considering assignments from a week to the same week. Easy to conciliate with work, eh, excuse me? Nonetheless the first deadline – review of an academic article – has been met and somehow it is comforting to see someone else’s draft prior to publication. Talk about a rough gem.

Saturday wasn’t at all that productive, but Sunday was good for some thesis planning, and getting started with AWS and Python using boto. Yet far and far away from where I need to be (SSH connection refused anyone?) but at least is a start. And a game plan is ready for the upcoming week(s).

Work-wise all is getting busier and busier, and time to prioritize has come. Great projects going on, nonetheless, and it is an exciting time to be where I am. Lots of talking, lots of training, lots of creating new things. The only reason to complain, I guess, is not having enough hours on a 36-hour week.

Other than that:

  • My oven now decided to short-circuit the entire house (fun!) and needed to be checked by a technician. Solution is… in the air for now. Still need to find a a specific part – and I am in need for non-oven recipes!
  • Started – and somehow kept the rhythm – to do 10 sun salutations a day. Goooo Yoga. Would have just been better not to do them at 3 am in the morning, but what can one do when one has insomnia?
  • Tested a few project management tools for the thesis and concluded that… I will use Evernote anyway.
