Today was graduation day. I have my BSc degree now. I'm happy. After graduation we went out for dinner and I had the most delicious chocolate pie I've ever had.

Past week was fairly busy. On Tuesday I went out for dinner at an Indian restaurant with Niki. We spent a lot of time talking; it was very pleasant. On Wednesday I saw Miami Vice with Shamni, after which we cooked vegetable wraps. On Thursday I went to Amsterdam with my parents and sister, where I bought a game called Pylos which turns out to be very fun and challenging. On Friday I went to Joachim's (a friend from CGU) and played Quoridor and Pylos.

Tomorrow I'm probably going to work -- haven't done that in over a month now. This Wednesday morning I'm seeing Nynke, another CGU friend, then I'm going to give uni a quick visit to make some photocopies of a book, and then in the afternoon I'm seeing Joris, a former colleague.

So basically I'm just seeing a lot of people before I'm leaving. Portugal is getting closer and closer. The flight has already been booked; I'm leaving on Sept 9th. I've bought my own set of awesome black-and-white plates and cutlery.

I also bought two Symphony X albums in the past few weeks: I bought the self-titled album on the market in Lorgues back in France, while I picked up The Divine Wings Of Tragedy last Saturday in Utrecht. The latter I like a lot more than the former; the former is really old and has a different singer than Russell Allen, although it's very fun to hear the differences between Masquerade on that album and Masquerade '98 on the newest album.

That's pretty much it for now. Take care.
