Friendship

Who are true friends? People you meet become an acquaintance, stay just people you have met, become an 'enemy' or they become friends. Why do certain people become friends and others don't? As the text in the picture says: "A friend is someone you can be alone with and have nothing to do and not be able to think of anything to say and be comfortable in the silence." I absolutely agree. There aren't much people with whom I feel this way. A true friend is so valuable!

It's not always easy to make friends. You feel a certain 'click' or you don't. With some people, it's rare'  I feel a certain calm attitude which instantly makes me feel at ease. With others it's not that way. They can be very nice and very friendly, but when you're with them, you feel this need to keep a conversation going. To say "fine and you?" when they ask you how you are doing?

A true friend is really rare. So cherish those you have met. Let them how you appreciate them and value them for what they are and what they give you by just being them.

Poem

Love is light and love is true

Every dream shows the light in being with you.

Today, some moments let the sun in too,

For which the nights have way more value.

Gran Canarian pictures - Puerto de Mogan

This year I went to the Canary Islands, Gran Canaria to be more exact. Visiting this beautiful and warm island I also visited Puerto de Mogan. This lovely little picturesque fishing village is set at the mouth of a steep-sided valley on the southwest coast of the island. The canal-like channels linking the marina to the fishing harbour have led to it being nicknamed "Little Venice" of the "Venice of the Canaries". It truly was astonishing.

Back again - Final presentation thesis

Long time no blogpost. it's been a little over 3 weeks I guess. But there wasn't much interesting going on to tell you. After my holiday (which was just wonderful!) I had about a week to prepare my final presentation at the research company, which was going to be the last activity in closing my thesis. Last tuesday was the day and I was expected in the management-team. I was really nervous, but my two supervisors and my classmate were also present as a back-up. After some technical issues with the laptop and beamer I was ready to begin my presentation. In the beginning my nerves almost got the best of me. When I'm nervous and have to tell something I'm always having difficulties catching my breath. I just had to relax, take a sip of the water and continue. Then it went fine :-) At the end I got nice feedback that I was very clear and did a good job. Even though I wasn't pleased with the start I happy with the feedback. So now my thesis-period has officially ended! Kind off strange also. My contact at the research organization revealed that there would be a vacancy in my field of expertise. So today I immediately wrote a letter and sent my job application. Keep your fingers crossed!

Ciao!
