Less nerves, more luck :) = mažiau nervuokis, daugiau pasieksi


Wednesday was "een heel druk dag". I was thinking how to improve the agreed part of thesis and had to communicate about the conference. Then together with Kim we went to Sunny's presentation.
CONGRATULATIONS, SUNNY!

After I came back and had dinner with my flatmates (by the way, our technical flatmate fixed the doorbell - FINALLY WE CAN HEAR IF YOU RING!), I had to apply for the job. So, I had to renew my CV, find the references, bla bla bla.

The online assessment for the job took 3 hours!!!! It contained personal information, a personality test of 178 questions, parts from IQ tests with mathematical sequences, word associations and nice mathematical exercises :)

So I had chance to remember how I miss mathematics!

As at this time I feel time-pressure, at night I worked on my thesis. But I was tired, so I didn't do much.

Next day when I opened the website to check out the status of my application, I saw that my data are gone, that means I HAVE TO REDO THE WORK OF 3 HOURS!!!!!

I felt so frustrated, especially because it was uneasy and time consuming, while I have to focus on other things as my thesis, the coming conference and Dutch courses.

As if it was not enough, while changing weblog's layout, I made a total nonsense and didn't know how to fix it.

Then I received a feedback from my company's mentor and she is again being touchy.
I hate it when she becomes too personal, it's work that we are having, but she starts like:
"I feel this & that, I don't like this & that..." And I think then, well, I also don't like some behaviour of yours, so what? I try to work with you, so please be as kind as try to work with me.

Again, her comments are contradictory to my understanding of what is good in that chapter of my paper.

So you can imagine how frustrated I got after all these events concerning that time is ticking!

Then I prayed a lot and read and thought about things and with a peaceful mind I could accomplish more things for my thesis than I intended. That felt good.

I wrote an e-mail to the employment director and he said that some results are saved, so I just have to do the last part. That was good.

Finally, I found the problem & fixed my weblog. I even could have some rest!

So, the stones have moved :)

Then I received nice & wise letters from several friends and finally got the refund for my trips to Utrecht. Right on time!

Then the contact person from the conference gave me all the necessary information and I could book a hostel in Amsterdam.

In conclusion, everything goes smoothly, when you take your glance away from worries to God...
