Hello again everyone :). *hugs and waves*

Back from university.

ddickinson: How are your studies going?
Can't complain so far in the Masters programme. For the first I am able to choose focus in my studies which in my case is human geography :)

BillyMaysFan59: Nothing much... all I really have "planned" atm is to enjoy the nicer weather (at least when it isn't raining ;) and continue the seemingly hopeless battle against my backlog when I get the chance. Not much going on right now, which is good.

For some reason I prefer ELO's version...
Well I hope you continue to have some good weather so you get the chance to enjoy the sun and the nice spring weather.

I wonder if we have anyone on here who is not constantly at war with that most evil of enemies, the dreaded backlog. :-)

Welcome back!

Do you have a dream job you would like to have after you have finished at university?

Not really. But i was thinking getting into urban development or something along those lines. Alternatively some in the field of foreign aid maybe...or i stay in university and making my doctorate...I really don't know yet...

I think I mentioned I tore my contact lens last week. Well, now I have a new contact lens. Unfortunately, this lens is blue, while the other one is white, which means that I now have a blue circle around the pupil of my right eye but not around the left. It look silly, to say the least. And what's worse, this new lens is made of a different material that dries my eye out very quickly, which means that I can only wear my lenses for a few hours at a time. I'll have to call the optician tomorrow and see if I can come by in the weekend. So, even despite the fact that I now have a replacement contact lens, I still can't wear 'em. Things are going well. :P

You know all these stories about the lenses make me feel right about not wearing them :P

No but seriously. That sucks. Hopefully it'll be sorted out soon :).

Well you still have some time to decide before your masters is up. Hopefully when the times comes something nice will present itself for you and you can get a job doing something you really love.

Sorry to hear you are not having the best of luck lately with your contact lenses. I hope that you can get it sorted for the weekend and everything will be okay. I have never worn them so I have no idea about things like colour of the lens or them drying the eye.

*Big comfort hug*

Complete and uther bore.

One thing that may help backlog battles: stop caving in and buying stuff at sales. It would be very hard for sale junkies, but if accomplished, it would keep your backlog at a fixed size. I might try doing that from now on unless we get a May the 4th Star Wars sale. :P

Haha, most of the time they function perfectly and you never notice them. But sometimes you just have a stroke of bad luck. :P

Thanks for the hug! Usually I don't have any problems with them, but my eyes were being a bit difficult a few months ago, so we switched from lenses that last a month to the ones that last half a year. So far the experiment hasn't turned out too well. Unfortunately, it'll probably take a while to fix this. My lenses are made to order and it takes at least a week to manufacture them. Luckily I do have my glasses in the meantime. :)

Make fun of mentally incompetent people time!

A relative of mine who shall remain nameless drove her dog 500 miles last week to have it examined by a plastic surgeon because the dog has a slight overbite.

Hey tinyE, don't all dogs have overbites?

Yes they do! I now officially have an insane person in my family tree! :P

At least she's committed to her dog, I suppose. :P

LaPtiteBete: Heterochromia eyes ... ? o__< ... (I barely see any eye color with these tiny avatars)... Well, that's awesome ! It's so rare... :)

Although my partner has green and hazel eyes, not green and blue, so the picture is not 100% accurate.
You mean, green and hazel on the same iris, or each eye a different color ? (like Jane Seymour !) :-)
