The Horror of Studying

No responses yet – published on Nov, 09 2007 at 14:49 under Hobby,Holiday,Study.

A long, long time ago I made my last post. One surely wishes to ask what happened to me, or what I was doing. The answer is simple: Not much!

I’ve tried to finish at least all work concerning the bachelor thesis, but failed poorly. Therefore I am now sitting in my study writing unimportant and very vague chapters to get more pages. A horrible and very depressing work to everybody that wishes to write other things – stories or poems or something like that. I never said I am good in writing, but at least I do it more willingly than writing papers, thesis and such nonsense.

Finally I have also some pictures from Paris. They are not so good because of my old digital camera, but I think one can recognize the buildings. ;) The pictures of Alex must be scanned first, nevertheless here are some of mine.

During September and October my father and I worked on a “Weihnachtskrippe”. Since my father already built an oriental Krippe some years ago, this time we built a “Bauernkrippe” that uses the Alps as motive.

I was helping in all phases of the building and I am also painting the background that I will finish this weekend by dyeing the border gold.

Here are now the photos of Paris and of the “Krippe”:

Back again

I am back from Paris again and was in mood to change the appearance of my blog. Finally I could be convinced to use WordPress. It is much easier than I thought, and most easy compared to my own “software” that I have used for the last two versions of Ankantoiel’s Diary.

Nevertheless I encountered problems with the file upload. Nothing that is wrong with WordPress, but a problem of my web hoster. Seems that he has installed PHP on a wrong way and therefore the server was not able to shift the uploaded files to the right folder. Hopefully this problem will be solved now soon after a mail to the webhoster otherwise I am not able to use any kind of file upload and that is really annoying.

As already said I am back from Paris. It was a really beautiful holiday. I have seen just a little of this awsome city, but for sure I will return there. Alex and me visited the Eiffel-Tower, Notre Dame de Paris, Montmartre with Sacre Coeur and the Musée nationale de Moyen Age. Pictures will come as soon as possible. :)

Regards,

Ankantoiel
