Happy New Year!

Well, the title say it all. Have a good night and enjoy the hangovers tomorrow. Real life starts january 2nd.

The time for reflections

Claus reviewed his past year over here (danish). A good idea to do once in while, and this is certainly the time for it. So here goes:


In 2005 I:

• Graduated from Aalborg University. I'm now a cand.scient in Computer Science. Don't really feel different though.
• Went to Africa (Kenya and Zanzibar) for two weeks. Traveling rocks. Never imagined infrastructure could be so bad.
• Applied for Ph.D. scholarshop - and got it!
• Realized that I needed to do something else before starting to write a Ph.D.
• Went to Oure 'Højskole" (Sport College). Probably the best thing I ever did. I miss all the people from there, hopefully I will see some of them again.
• Started running and riding moutain bike.
• Had 5 injuries due to excessive training (three from running, one from swimming, and one from Aikido). Also had a strained angle, a bad toe, and probably a couple of other things.
• Started my Ph.D. study.
• Went skiing for the first time in seven years, even though my last ski adventure costed me a twisted knee, which resulted in three times knee surgery. I had fun (skiing that is).
• Moved home again (argh!).

In 2006 I will:

• Get my own apartment (high priority).
• Be less stressed.
• Get into even better shape.
• Run a ½ marathon.
• Learn not to overtrain.
• Spend more time outdoors.
• Climb a mountain.
• Travel during summer vacation.
• Invent some crazycool grid thingy that will make me a world known grid researcher.

Got a blog now

So... thostrup.blogspot.com is me now. All I need now, is to actually write something and have people read it. I'll look into that later.
