the Emperor of Hearts

Just loved this song!

was away

Hey everyone,

i was out of brussels for a week. it was gorgeous. Back to Germany, Fulda. conference with many smart heads from former soviet space, reunions, tough debates, nice convos, bloody brilliant to be back to fulda for a while, with so many compatriots (i mean CIS)
back in Brussels... started raining immediately after i got off the train, in the morning i could hear loud noises, traffic, someone screaming something in french... rain dropping on the window... i woke up, in brussels.
new week in brussels: caught a cold, feeling rubbish, trying to work from home, on the same thesis, with less and less enthusiasm
top: last tuesday, reception of the Uzbek embassy... enjoyed watching various uzbek national dances, and eating uzbek national food... (bloody word 'national', i start disrespecting this word)

issues on my mind:

workshop on EU's external borders. the first panel. very interesting. i could follow. many specialists, scientists and practitioner from all over europe;
discussed are: what are the borders? do we need borders? where do borders begin? border control, borders as areas of insecurity, migration as a threat, and activities of many fancy organisations like frontex and bla bla bla... well quite interesting and useful for my thesis.
well the second panel is still going, and i cant be bothered to go. it is an interesting issue, no doubt. but i am dying for sleep at the moment, and working hard on myself, on the way to convince myself to go at least to the third panel.

family:
it's my bro's birthday today. he is going to be 20. 20???? i cant believe it.
Thesis: have to work, and it doesn't work to work...
dreams:
i dream to sleep, the whole eternity... okay, at least an hour.
i want to see my nieces and dance with them.
want to laugh with kamila.
want my thesis to be written already.
want more energy.
want really nice uzbek strawberries and sweet cherries
want to go hoooooooooome... (be it here in brussels, or in germany or in uzbekistan)
