The sun is shining

Ej.
Okay.
So.
Mhmm.
That came unexpected.
I made it.
The whole graduation case is over :)

Today I had my presentation, in front of a handful of collegue students, two teachers and my mum. Afterwards I heard the judgement of those two teachers, about my presentation, my report, handed in two weeks ago, and about the article. They actually thougth it was all good enough for a (n almost) bachelor.
When Veerle and I were in our beds last night we talked a bit. We were truly convinced we would have to rewrite both, at least a bit... And now this!!
Don't cheer to fast, still have that exam to do. The worst option would be the end of October, but I'm gonna try real hard to arrange something else sooner.

So:
The sun is shining...
And no one's gonna stop me now!
(At least not today; also soccer practice tonight...)

By the way, tomorrow morning I have a meeting with the student coordinator of the master Nature and Forest Conservation, at Wageningen University. I (kind of) know for sure I want to do this. Two years, but Wageningen is very international, so I don't have to stay in my (first) home country the whole time.
But lectures are starting this coming Monday, while I'm still not a bachelor.
This year, or next year, that's the question. I'll keep you updated.

Title

Last days I was working on a little assingment I needed to write about all practicles in the past years plus my recent graduation-thing, and they're asking me to give an answer to the question if I'll keep on studying for my master degree or if I'll start working... With motivation. Grapjassen.
If only I would know the answer to thát question...

I've been busy with my graduation report till last Wednesday, a night of Malawian fun at my place with Veerle, Leonie en Joeri followed. Then from Thursday till Saturday night I've been working at a Christian festival called Flevo. The government actually paid me, through some organisation, to make people aware of the fact there are milleniumgoals. (I hope you ever heard about them?! Lots and lots of people had no clue what I was talking about). So I got into the festival for free and at night, and even also during the day, I had more then enough time to enjoy a lot of great live music, some sun and a relaxing atmosphere. There were some bands I'd never heard about, but I wont forget them soon; Christafari (christian reggae; completely fantastic feast), Over the Rhine (good voice and very enjoyable tunes) and The Gentlemen, from the UK (decent rock/punk with good lyrics).

And this week 2000 fresh students are walking and biking around in this little city I call mine. All (even slightly) student related organisations, associations and other ations open up their doors. At C.S.R., my student association, for tonight, we have a lecture, some live music, a bbq and some drinks. Tonight I have all the time of the world, because today was the day of two other deadlines (an article and that little assignment)...

There's still one exam, a report and a presentation about the project in Malawi to go (and probably correct the graduation report + article)...

Recognition

Working for graduation many hours. Drowning in loud music. Future-things. Confusion. Thinkings. Recognition.

Everything is open

Nothing is set in stone

Rivers turn to Ocean

Oceans tide you home

Home is where your heart is

But your heart had to roam

Drifting over bridges

Never to return

Watching bridges burn

You're driftwood floating underwater

Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces

Just driftwood hollow and of no use

waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you

Nobody is an island

Everyone has to go

Drifting under bridges

Never with the flow

Drifting now forever

And forever more

Until you reach your shore

You're driftwood floating underwater

Travis

I'm a weirdo.

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here.

Radiohead

Is there a place I can go

Is there a light to get me there

If I've forgotten what to say

It's because all words are dust
Snow Patrol

There’s certainly uncertainty in all our eyes
Five for Fighting

I will not fail I will not silently give in
Take a chance take it twice catch your dream
Suceed in life become a star
And lose yourself in fantasies

I will burn and I’ll learn
From the thorns in my eyes I’ll rewind, and I’ll find
My own way to the sky
Saybia

I could close my eyes it’s still there

Close my mind be alone

I could close my heart and not care

But gravity has got a hold on us all

Jack Johnson

Last night I woke

Lost, scared and soaked in sweat

I lay in bed still falling from a rooftop

I'm still trying to get closer to who I am

Enchant me with the courage to believe

And grant me all the wisdom that I need

I'm still trying to get closer to who I am

Who am I?

Enchant me with the courage to believe

And grant all the wisdom that I need grant me

All the wisdom that I need enchant me

With the courage to be free
Saybia

Time exists but just on your wrist so don't panic

Moments lasts and lifetimes are lost in a day

So wind your watches down please

'Cos there is no time to lose

Travis

When I consider your heavens,

the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which you have set in place,

what is man that you are mindful of him,

the son of man that you care for him?
Psalm 8

Give me a chance to hold on

Give me a chance to hold on

Give me a chance to hold on

Just give me something to hold onto
Snow Patrol

Where do we go, nobody knows

Don't ever say you're on your way down when

God gave you style and gave you grace

And put a smile upon your face

Coldplay

But you are a shield around me, O LORD;

you bestow glory on me and lift up my head
Psalm 3

True?

"Growing up is, after all, nothing else then realising that your unique, incredible experiences are shared by everyone."

Do you believe this is true?
