Yesterday, the workmen have finished the bathroom as far as they could. We’re really happy with the way the room has turned out even though it’s not finished yet! Due to the fact that some things have been ordered but could not be delivered in time, a few bits and pieces were not installed, and the workmen have to come

Tomorrow (Thursday 22nd of May) at noon, the time has come. After a six-year period of studying at my university, I’m about to graduate. I’m actually kind of nervous right now, even though I should be lying in bed sleeping. Blegh. It’s one of very few times I’m nervous about presenting, and it especially strikes me as odd, as I
