Mood: thumbs up

Listening to: The Cardigans - Super Extra Gravity
Reading: A Tourist in the Yucatan (nearly done)
Watching: many, many websites
Well, some good news, some bad news... First of all: I passed my last exam and allready started working on my diploma! You can't imagine the relief when I saw on the list that I passed it!
My homepage (

I'm getting well and my nose isn't that red anymore (no more Rudolph

)
Seems everything runs just fine & sweet at the moment.
But when I take a look around, I get a feeling, that everything else is getting worse. Remember the earthquake in Pakistan? The media it seems doesn't. Even if a Kofi Annan calls out for more donations, things seem to stagnate. For me as a civil engineer, the pictures of devestated cities in ruins are nearly unbelievable... what power can smack down and flatten a urbanization like that?!
So if you didn't donate until now, spare some of your money for the poeple...
Also terrible news from the other side of the ocean: the midst of the american continent is struck again and again by hurricanes, leaving a path of destruction. First New Orleans, then more devestations south-west and now the hurricane over Yucatan. It's kind of weird, reading a book on Yucatan, imaging the places, people and now seeing the terrible circumstances in the news...
Again, if you have some money to spare...
I'd like to recommend you "Ärzte Ohne Grenzen // Mediciens Sans Frontiers" (

Thanks - T.
