Summer Holiday I

It is finally time to relax. Last week was exams. I only had one, but for my other module the entire grade was a group paper. It is very difficult to coordinate 10 people writing a paper. I was the editor, which means I just gave orders, did research, and waited for people to email me their sections of the paper to coordinate. Then I would print out the paper, give it to my group members and we would meet to comment. But nobody read the paper. Most people read parts, but I really don't think that any one person read the entire thing (It did end up being 130 pages, at least 75 of them text, the rest appendices). But I will stop complaining now. Yesterday afternoon it was finally out of my hands. We handed the paper in, and I went to the lake. I got to spend the afternoon lounging in the sun doing absolutely nothing. It was fantastic.

Tomorrow I leave for a two week field trip to Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Luxembourg. After that I promise to post more pictures and stories.
