On Vacation

With my Bachelor's thesis, all exams and other projects done, I got some time off work and went on vacation with Pia, my parents and my sister. So far, not much has happened, but that's also part the idea of taking a vacation: being able to waste some time instead of constantly checking the watch.

Pia and I left last Saturday at 5:15am from Munich. After a supposedly 17-hour long trip, which ended up taking 23 hours due to massive traffic jams in France, we arrived at Denia. I guess our biological clock worked too well, because at 9:00am we were up again, and even though we were extremely tired, we decided to tag along with my family to the nearby Alicante.

After taking a walk through the city and eating something at a restaurant near the pier, we went up to the Santa Bárbara castle to check out the view:



I also used the opportunity provided by the beautiful views from the castle to do a short photo shooting session featuring Pia:


... and my sister managed to take this picture when we weren't actually posing for a shot:

Finished my Bachelor's Thesis

Finally! It's done! I just got my bachelor's thesis printed, which hopefully means that I'll have some more time on my hands. If you'd like to know, here's some very short info on what I've been doing all this time:



By the way, I might try to do some more video-log entries to get some practice. I was thinking of doing a series of short vlogs during my trip to Japan next Spring, since the whole "I'll just film now and cut it later"-idea I had last time didn't work out so well due to the large amount of material. Having to put a video together on the same day might stop me from filming too much irrelevant stuff...
