holidays, at last

Tomorrow by this hour, I’ll be on the Netherlands, having my first real vacations in four years :-) After five exhausting years fighting to finish my graduation, I’ll finally have a break, now that my six month internship is over. And I can tell you this for sure: postcrossing has been helping keeping myself sane and to keep my goals intact all through this last months. More than ever, I really needed something to give a meaning to all the bits&bytes, and the huge stack of cold mnemonics that I have to deal daily on my profession. Postcrossing has made this for me - it kept me smiling in the end of the day, nonetheless the constant time juggling to find bits of free time for me and my friends in the between. It worth it all the way.

So for next days, I’ll be on a far far away country visiting friends, places and reviving the old erasmus spirit that I long for so much. Altogether, I’ll be displaying again mine and ana’s photo exhibit tips at the Groningen University. (I miss shooting, me and my camera, - we’ll get even this holidays :D)

On my return, I’ll be starting on a new job, hopefully, more interesting than the previous one - I’m still firm on my decision to go work abroad, but until I find something suitable, I must have a way to pay my bills. (gosh! I start to sound like my father on this one.)
