The last few weeks have been exhausting and envigourating at the same time. A lot of conferences, talks, presentations and a race quarter-way across Europe to hear one of my Masters, John Searle, speak at my home university of Fribourg (which was wonderful in itself and well worth 10h of train ride).
The semester here has wrapped up nicely, all of a sudden summer is here without having passed the spring-stage and the city is buzzing as usual and while in Fribourg some things have started to pan themselves out nicely (although very unexpectedly) and it seems that ‘il leader maximo’ (ie. my boss, cheers to i. for that title…) is really planning on integrating me and has asked me to move to Fribourg for the next year. She was happy with my progress and that offered me a good night’s sleep as I always fell like I am not really getting anywhere. I’ve seen colleagues and friends I haven’t seen in months or even years. And for the first time I really got a feeling of people being happy to see me back, which usually isn’t the case…
Another conference, another city and I did get the confirmation that my PhD Thesis is necessary and not a simple repetition of things already been done. That of course offered my another week of good and peaceful sleep. *grin*
And of course I am already starting my bottom line analysis of my stay here, the things I did or did not do, the papers I did or did not write etc.
But at the moment: all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds… The demons are banned for now, the sunlight has won and the light is shining into all the dark places of the valley… no immediate danger in sight. What an unusual thing for me to write…
Now, I have the pleasure to organise my trip to Bastogne.
