I'm in a train headed for Utrecht right now, will have dinner with my friends and figure out how we're gonna plan our road trip to Norway in August. Gonna be awesome! Also, I just realized that it's only four weeks until I get the keys to my new place. Considering my current place doesn't have climate control and the weather has been lovely, I am counting the days until I won't have to sleep in a sauna anymore. (The smell of sewage in the hallways also hasn't left yet.) My thesis is going along nicely. Every time I have explained it, I refine the core idea a bit more. This week I spoke to my thesis counsellor, an architect, a PhD student and a municipal worker and I managed to pique their interest, so I must do something right. Another thing I realized is that my 2018 will definitely be shaped by how ETH will do, and that I couldn't be happier with that. :)
