Spring Break!
Finally, the winter has ended! Just like I predicted,
I managed
to fail the neuroanatomy pre-exam. Just like the other 80%
of all
students, so it's not as bad as it may sound. On another
note, the
weather has turned great (the radio says it's going to be 27
degress
Celsius tomorrow) and we have the whole week off, so I spent
a lot of
time reading by the Danube.
I spotted Blade
Runner at a
bargain computer games store and decided to give it a try.
Short
summary: WOW! It's also a lot of fun as it
brings
back memories of green^H^H^H^H^Hthe time I first got the
Blade Runner
fever. I also began re-reading the sequel.
Movies of the Week: I watched
Toy Story 2
and was
delighted to see some jokes not targeted at children. I
liked its
trailer very much, so I also watched Life is but a
whistle, but
I was a bit disappointed: it seems like the director is very
good at
building suspense and complicated situations with exciting
characters,
but doesn't quite know what to do with the intense
settings.
Place to frequent: András
showed me a great non-stop pencake house that's not even far
either. Somehow, I liked the place instantly, and their
pencake's not
bad either. Gotta burn some money there.
Back to nature: About ten of us from the
university
organized a trip to a well-known Hungarian hiking place, the
Rám
canyon, which is great because it has that Indiana
Jones-feeling: you
have to jump from rock to rock and climb on iron chains
above the
river, and since the rain felt the day before, we
got very mucky from head to toe. So, it was a lot of fun.
However, it
was kinda sad seeing nearly everyone bringing his/her
girlfriend/boyfriend and me being the only lonely one among
them.
GNOME stuff: Right now, I'm fixing libgnomeui
HEAD to work
with the latest gdk_pixbuf. I should finish it tomorrow,
since it's
already 1 AM here and I'd like to go shopping tomorrow (oh
man, how I
hate buying clothes)
