It's been ages since graduation! Unfortunately that also means it's been ages since my last pictures -- I still don't have a replacement camera battery + charger. Both got stolen from the outlet in my apartment. I suppose I should count my blessings though; my roommates were short two laptops and a PS2 if I remember correctly.

This is officially an uneventful summer. I go running occasionally. Sometimes I go for a bike ride. Occasionally my dad makes me practise driving stick (I never learned... and one could argue I'm not exactly learning now :-p). At the start of summer I paid some long overdue visits to old friends. It's been nice and quiet, and most importantly: free from any kind of obligation.

With a few exceptions of course. I found out that I needed to apply for a new US Visa, just tad bit late. Fortunately the folks at the consulate took pity on me, and a week or so later I found myself in Amsterdam, triple-checked forms in hand. I must say the process was a lot less painful than it was four years ago. Also, I had company this time. I ran into Andre and Eelco near the consulate -- completely randomly. They helped me hold on to my sanity; another improvement over four years ago.
