My Digital World

Recently, I was so busy with so many stuff. All my days are filled with meetings, meetings and meetings. It has turned out even worse. I do not have 1 appointments on 1 day, but 4 in some days! Being busy is a good thing. But this kind of busy is maybe over the edge.

Since I have been so busy, I rarely can have good rest. I usually get back to my room around 00.15AM. After preparing to sleep, it is around 1AM. The next day, I have to wake up at 6-7AM. In the few hours of sleep, I have been attacked by the mosquitos. I guess, not killing them at the beginning was my big mistake. Since it seems that the mosquitos settled their home in my little room, which means 2 turns into 4, 4 into 8, etc.

I am not sure if I have mentioned about my part-time as a part-time teacher. The kids of this age, are very different than 10 years ago. I remember when I attended at the first year of my Secondary School, I was not that noisy kid. My classmates are also kind of "good" kids. Okay, Okay, I know it is unfair to compare MAVO/HAVO/VWO pupils with the MAVO ones. But still, all of us have learned how to behave.

My job is not mainly give tuition, but it seems that I have to find a way to keep everyone sitting at their chair and packing all their books out and going to work. There are two words I usually have to use when I am in class. Guess what?! "Silence, please!" Yeah, the kids really don't know how to keep their lips closed.

So, at school, I have to deal with the noisy kids and when I go to my university, I have to deal with my bad supervision. Last week, I noticed that my supervisor gave me a not-working device to me. Therefore, all my measurements results are crap. I asked him to give me a working sensor, but till now, he still didn't give me a new (working) one. I contacted Lukasz to help me to solve this, since it is really enough for me to work on my thesis.

The frustations are flying around me, even when I go back to my room. I tried to put this aside, but sometimes it was not very easy. Luckily, I had many appointments. They avoid me to think about my frustations. I had so many meetings, since there are many things that I have to arrange and discussed. Let start with Lili's wedding.

Lili is my first friend in my friend-circle who is married. I am asked to take photos during her most beautiful day. The original plan was that someone else will do this, since Lili wants me to be as her good friend at their wedding in stead of a photographer. Since the photographer she wants to hire, was a. not available anymore 2. his skill is not good, they ask me a favour.

The wedding shoot was a long day of work. I got up at 4AM and I ended at 00.25AM. I am very happy to attend my good friend's wedding. Some days before the wedding, I had my first official bachelor party. Since Samuel did not have many friends in Holland, Lili asked me if I could join the bachelor party.

The bachelor party was OK. We went out to a place where you can do a lot of stupid activities, like cycling in a bike that can holds 8 people. The group that can cycle the fastest win. I belong to the loser team. Hahaha...

Here I have two groupphotos I took that day:





I give my blog title "financial crisis hits my pocket", since I encounter financial troubles recently. My monthly cashflow from the government (Studiefinanciering) has stopped, since I did not have any right to borrow money from the government anymore. This is my biggest cashflow (800euro a month)! The government support is not unexpected. I have been prepared and that is why I was looking for a part-time to support me. Although I have that part-time, I do not earn enough money for my montly expenses.

My other might come from my photoshoots. The sad thing is, is that I do not earn from my commercial shoots, because of the limited budget they gave me. They agreed with 6 shootings a year, which was mine cousin's idea. I am spending money in commercial assignments. Therefore, I do not mind to not earn money in short terms. But over the long term, I really hope I can get more jobs.

I have two weddings I am in charge for (the first one is Lili's wedding and the other one is from Micheal and Feifei), means building up my portfolio only. I told them that I am happy if they pay me the costs I made, since I want to build up my portfolio.

I do not know how long I can stand this. I also do not know if my decissions are wise. But I will let my control over to 老天爷, who I hope He will help me a bit to be a successful man.
