Alright, it’s past midnight and I can put in another post safely without looking like a geek with nothing to do, posting more than once per day.

This beautiful town in the picture above is what I am thinking about these days. It’s in fact where I am. Maybe not physically, but in every other way. I’m actually just waiting for the time to come that I can go there, just making enough effort in school to pass the courses. And it’s not long actually… just something like six months? Phuff, that passes fast like an icelandic summer day. Sure, there’s a period of working in the summer until… and a few exams in one and a half months. But I’ll get through that. And I’ll wait out the rest.

The town, in case you were wondering and didn’t know, is Strasbourg. It’s where I’ll be spending the next school-year, if Mr. Erasmus will be so kind as to give me a grant and an entry into the school (Université Robert Schuman). It’s apparently supposed to be a very nice town… lots of students, a medieval centre of town. It’s been called the Heart of Europe, Crossroads of Cultures, City of Science and Poets, and Capital of Europe. But you can really say it is in the heart of Europe: within a 500 km radius are Milano, Lyon, Paris, Bruges, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Munich, and all of Luxemburg and Switzerland… as well as 57% of the European population! So if you think I’m going there only to stay in Strasbourg, think again. Maybe this will be my Europe-year… well, I guess I’ll have to stay there some of the time for school, but there’ll be breaks… and there will be the summer after that school year! Oh, yes there will…

Here, have a look…

A good thing about this is definitely that I can easily go to the near European countries and visit the people I know from there. Even people I haven’t seen in years, since I was in France in 2002-2003… that should be cool.

Well, I’m off to pretending to go to sleep.
