Here’s one of my pseudo-weekly blog entries again.
Not a lot of new exciting things to blog about though. My thesis is going ok. I finally classified the images and now have results. Now I “just” have to write down the results (I’m not good with the words – I’d rather just post 1000² pictures 😯 ) and perform the accuracy assessment. After I’ve completed that, I’ll apply myself to writing the summary and further implementation as well as the introduction and the abstract. I hope my proof-readers won’t find too many misleading paragraphs or errors :nervous:
I’ve talked to my professor and asked for an extension, which he approved on. I’m happy! I do want to get done ASAP (my actual due date is January 23rd – 4 days after my birthday), but it’s just calming to know I have a few extra week(s) to complete my work.
Well, something exciting did happen. I have a job! I’ve applied for it in the summer, the company I’m writing the thesis for was looking for a new employee in the GIS software developement department. I applied, told them my experience (very little php, very little Visual Basic, HTML, CSS, Adobe Photoshop) yet I also told them I’d be very interested in learning Java, Php, ASP… and a week later they said “We’d like you in our team” 😀 I was thrilled of course.
So, a few weeks ago two departments of the company and I sat together and talked about my application areas. And… I’ll work for two departments 🙂 Once for the GIS software development department as a webdesigner AND for the RADAR/SAR image processing department. I’m very excited and happy! The contract is printed, I’ll start February 1st, no matter if my thesis is done or not.
I actually wanted to start January 1st, BUT… if I would, I think my body and soul would EXPLODE!
It’s all very very awesome and I’m quite lucky! I want to start working! On the other side, I can’t wait to take a few days off. I’ll maybe take vacation in March (when I’m moving) or April (easter). I haven’t had vacation in years!
My Christmas presents are all bought and wrapped. I have this habit on getting the pressies very early in November. Less stress! I’ll put my brain in “creative mode” and think what for presents I can get. My parents get my contract of employment, my nephew some “CARS” stuff, my niece (the lover’s niece actually) gets a Hello Kitty purse (Hello Kitty is perverted expensive here in Germany, I almost shit my pants!) and something from Diddl. The Lover gets something too any my sisters as well. I’m not going to write what though, you never know who’s reading your blog 😉 I love packing, so all the wrapped presents are lying in front of my Christmas tree (aka my plant).
This month was the first month I spent money on myself as well. My Christmas presents for me are a Wall-E pencil case (which I don’t need, but sooo cute!), a cute planner and little purse from Etsy, a cute purple cardigan from H&M, a lovely scarf from Esprit and a pullover of my favorite band “Die Ärzte”. Oh, and I ordered some tummy-away-panties, too, because, I mean, why work on getting a flat tummy when you can just press the fat away :omg: Also if the things you buy don’t really make you happy for long, I’m very happy with my purchases because they’re all great. I haven’t bought anything for me in soo long, I almost have a guilty conscience that I bought so much… almost.
Tomorrow I have a training in DBMS and after that there’s a XMAS party at uni where I’ll have beer 🙂 Next week (Dec 18th and 19th) I have a few doctor’s appointments (you know, the docs you go to once or twice a year… dentist, gynecologist, orthodontist…) and the XMAS party of work.
The month of December will turn into a stressy one – but I’m happy and that’s what counts :winknudge:
How’s your December?
My December has been as stressful as my whole year. I got a few stuff for family members, but nothing much. The economy has really screwed people up. Congrats on the job!
Oh, heads up: your textarea has stretched to infinity!
Congrats for the job!!! :slide: I hope you get your thesis done soon too 🙂 and cute pants :P.
You’re asking how is my December… uh… I think I want to go to sleep. Well I think it’ll be better now 🙂
@Nat Marie: really? I can’t see 😕
Congrats on your job! It sounds great 🙂
I would hate to have a huge project due only a few days after my birthday D: I hope you get time to celebrate it!
You should always spoil yourself a bit 😉
Well, first of all, congratulations on your new job. Your thesis sounds very difficult and like a lot of work, but maybe cause I’m not that familiar with the subject?
I have to agree with Kaylee: you should always indulge yourself with a little something from time to time, but not like me. I buy myself and my loved ones way too much, ending up broke 🙁
Congrats on the job & extension! The Wall-E pencil case is sooooo cute 8)
congrats on your new job!! i hope everything works out for you with the job and your thesis 😀 Happy Holidays!
Congrats on the new job, you make it sound like it’s so exciting, it must be, because you sound, you know, excited :omg:
Well, make sure you take a little break for yourself from time to time. You don’t wanna feel like you’re 70 before you’re in your 30’s. Or at least I think not. Heh.
My December hasn’t been exciting at all. It’s been full of exams. Lots and lots of exams. And I’ll be done on the 19th. By then I’ll be able to say “Whoo Christmas!!”.
I like the look of the planner; it looks so sweet! 😀 I got myself some presents as well in terms of SingStar songs. Ever since I got that game I have been spending loads of money on it 😥
Congrats on getting a new job by the way 🙂
I LOL-ed at “retarded expensive” and “almost shit my pants” lolololololol.
Congrats on the job, Trayay! <3 Youre almost graduating omg yay! And seriously, contract of employment for your folks? Thats funny haha.
Haha, word on the tummy hiding panties :P. Congratulations on the job, as well as your thesis extension!
