Dear all,
It has been
more than a month now since I arrived back in Lincoln, so I figured it was high time I gave
some signs of life.
The break
was, simply put, fabulous. I managed to meet almost every important person in
my life, and to hang out with friends and family. I am especially glad that I
was able to spend most of it with my beloved… I could get used to having her
around and hope that this state will be perpetuated in the not too distant
future. Overall, it was a blast and I cannot thank you all for all the great
conversations, fun times, parties, and the positive energy I received.
And back to
the present. I feel compelled to point out that little has changed. The work
part of my life (which makes up the most in terms of time) is pretty much the
same, which means the same good. My classes are cool and I am still surrounded
by smart and nice people in the intellectually inspiring environment I always
dreamed of. My project and the article(s) with Ági are also coming along
nicely.
Yet, there
are a few minor changes. For one thing I try not to worry too much about
planning and ruminating about my past and future and guess what? It seems to be
working (at least better than last semester). I also work from the office and
not from home. The latter can be, and in fact was (especially around the end of
last semester) a very soul-crashing experience in the long run, which makes me
especially glad that I switched on to this new system. I guess there has to be
some wisdom in the notion about the separation of different spheres of life,
after all…
All in all,
I can say that my everyday life has a pretty normal rhythm. And what about the
special, the extreme, the extraordinary events, you ask? I will tell y’all about it… in my
next post;)
Greetings
from snow-covered Lincoln,
B
