Surely it comes as no surprise to anyone that I am addicted to computers/internet. So having lived the past two weeks without one at home has been life-changing. As a consequence I've discovered some lovely parts of Maastricht, read all the books I brought with me and spent a lot of time at the library. As it turns out, without my laptop to distract me I only have books and the TV to entertain me at home and since my flatmate also wants to watch TV, it is quite often out of the question. So I've been hanging out with Kali a lot (admittedly I do that anyway but now we can't have our catch-up sessions on skype) and generally avoiding home.
We have a rather stupid course at the moment where we have to do a paper and submit a research proposal for our thesis. The weird part is that the essay is 100% of our grade whilst the research proposal is only pass/fail yet it actually takes more time and in the long run is more important... And having to work on both of them only at the library isn't going too well. I hate studying here and writing is practically an impossibility since the keyboards here suck.
Which is why it is a very good thing my mom is coming on Saturday to bring me a new one which will enable me to work from home. I also seem to have contracted bronchitis so I shouldn't really be at the library at the moment but staying at home is not really a tempting option either.
Since this turned out to be one of those "I'm not too keen on studying"-posts once again, I should also point out that I got an 8 from the last course, the one for which I only revised a day. I'm just so damn smart that studying is just pointless. ;)

after reading your blog every now and then I get the general impression that I shouldn't come to Maastricht to study ;-)
