Hopefully you will be able to get some time to relax and enjoy your weekend in between work.

That's the only reason I can keep going. If it wasn't for them enjoying it and actually being happy to see us, then I do not think I could cope with it, as it can be very depressing, especially as some of them do not realise how ill they are, or seeing how bad some of them have things.

Hi Tyger, that was funny. Having spent years working in an academic environment, I can really appreciate the humour of that. Wonder how many of his students (apart from you) understand what he's saying, if he employs that humour in lectures. Although at your academic level, you probably don't attend lectures any more? Not sure how the system works in the Netherlands.

Still fiddling with the infobox on my user page on the wiki. How do i embed an avatar to it?

Thank you! And a big +1 and my sincere admiration for what you do for those children and their families. You must be an empath to relate to them and their families so quickly and so deeply , but that means it's extra hard, and very draining, for you to deal with their pain and loss and bewilderment. They are blessed to have you there.

Aww, if I could send some your way I would!

I think people pick up on his sarcasm pretty quickly. I had him as a professor for one of my very first classes, and for two weeks I was convinced he was a complete asshole. Then I discovered he just has a very peculiar sense of humor. Humor is basically the trademark of our department, and jokes are the order of the day. However, for someone who doesn't know him at all, I guess it would be harder to pick up on.

I do still go to lectures. I'm currently finishing up my bachelor's degree, but even the master degrees have lectures here. Does that work differently in your country?

Little one's birthday party times two...

Tomorrow with family and (our) friends, Sunday with the kindergarten friends. That's why I spent most of the week tidying this place ;-)
Considering my battle with Chaos this week, I think I've earned a promotion... ;-)

Thank you, that is very sweet of you to say. I do not do anything really, I just spend a little time with them and try to cheer them up however I can. It can be quite draining, but overall it is worth it, and it definitely helps me put things into perspective in life.

I would take them but i think the university might refuse them....

I was already preliminary enrolled in the masters programme when i finished my bachelor's degree last semester...and since yesterday I'm officially enrolled in it :).

That sounds like you will have your hands full. Hopefully your week's work will not be for nothing, hopefully they will not trash the place over the weekend. :-)

You have in deed. Did you have a promotion in mind?

Need to upload the image to the wiki then call it out in your info sheet.

I love everyone here.*opens pseudopods for hugs*

Well I got 3 stars now, but I really don't know what that would mean in Imperial ranks... Maybe it's just a regular level-up:

Vacuuming +1
Dusting off +1
Mopping +1
Throwing away stuff not used for years +4
Ninja-gifting +2

;-)

It depends on how many students there are for the higher degrees. In my field (Philosophy) there were only a couple of us, with very different topics, so it was more 'one-on-one' tutorials.

Glad there's some humour there, some academics can be so puffed-up and dry and pompous that one can hardly resist going after them with a pin.

Almost missed this.
That's a pretty awesome thing to do! Let alone considering that your farm work keeps you busy as hell and doesn't care for weekends and holidays.

*big awesomeness hug*

Need to prepare dinner now, see you all later :-)
