I have to write three reports in less than 1 month..... The first is a literature review on my new project topic (I have no idea what I want to research on) The second is an academic conference article which is due at the end of November (this conference is in France!!! I've always wanted to go to France what good way to travel for free only thing needed is an article for the conference) And the third is a correction of a journal paper I already wrote (some nosy Prof didn't understand what I wanted to convey to the general public).

Holiday
My sister came to visit a few weeks ago from Nigeria. It was a blast (some pictures on the side). I realised how much I missed home and never have time for a holiday.

I do ask myself that some times never really get a good answer. After my sister left it dawned on me that I never take out time to just relax, there is always a deadline to meet or some studying to do. And if I spend time just relaxing or having fun I feel guilty. So I have decided that from next year I will start what I call 'day saving' account. It wont be in the bank but I will set out some days every month just to have fun, relax and not feel guilty. After all laughter is good medicine for the soul.
