I really should try to keep this place more updated, but then again, I keep saying that. IN the last few weeks I've become some sort of anime addict ;)
I've watched Ergo Proxy, Elfen Lied, Welcome to the NHK!, Death Note, Samurai Champloo, Hellsing, ... and the list goes on and on. Most of them are really good, especially the ones I just mentioned. It all made me want to draw again, and even animate...
I guess I could make that my little project in one of the upcoming holidays. Oh, and by the way: I bought a camera, a Canon Powershot A710 IS. Maybe I could try some stop motion animation?

What I really wanted to talk about is my life after this. By that I mean what should I study next year. I always considered myself to become a civil engineer: as a kid I wanted to be a pilot, an astronaut, an inventor,... a civil engineer should be able to do all that.
However, my mum isn't very supportive in that. It's her hobby to tell me I'm too stupid to do it or that I'm not interested in sciences. WHY ON EARTH WOULDN'T I BE INTERESTED IN SCIENCE? I never had any friends because of that very reason. I should study informatics, for that IS what I'm interested in. Sure, she's right about that, but where's the excitement, the challenge in that? Unfortunately I live with my parents and they pay for my studies, I know I'll end up studying informatics.

Because I saw a computer in a local shop I wrote a magic8ball-ish app on my TI-84, it basicly just says yes or no randomly. Here are some of its answers:
Should I buy the pc? -no
Are sure? -yes
Should I study civil engineering? -no
Should I study informatics? -no
Should I join the army? -yes
Will I die before I'm 20? -yes
Wouldn't it be better not to join the army then? -no
Will I have a happy life? -yes
O_o

Looks like the best is yet to come, in the next 2 years as that is all I have left. Why the army? It won't cost me anything, and I might be able to get a pilot training. But being a geek, I find it hard to see me as a soldier...
