In just a few days...

Is it just me, or do I always say stupid stuff like "Only a few days left until I have all the time in the world to... write interesting blog posts, take good photos, work on this or that project, hike, bike, or kayak, plan my life, etc..."

When will I ever learn? Althought the thesis is almost complete and ready to submit, I find myself sitting here unable to write an interesting blog post, trying to sort out the mess that is my apartment. I have not cleaned it for the past month, rationalizing that I will have to do an entire sanitization and pack up my stuff this week anyway. No use cleaning it before that. Well, now is that time. Dang. I wish I had at least taken the rotten apples out of the sink last month.

I did get a chance to take some classmates out kayaking last night. It's one of those things that I had been "planning" since the Baltic was frozen. Somehow, everyone thinks that they are always too busy and now there is only a week left.

Wake up people! You can write a report any time. When is the next time you will be living in the middle of such a beautiful archipelago? Last night was beautiful, despite the wind (and two people tipping over). The ducks are getting bigger, the koots are hatching, the baby swans have almost arrived.
