RAIN! COLD! FINALLY!!!

Finally! Rain! For the past two weeks or so we've had nothing but rain! Temperatures have fallen as low as 14 degrees Celsius! No more killer-heat! It's great! I'm enjoying every second of the blissful coolness!

Besides enjoying the low temperatures I have done quite a lot since my last posting here (that's the reason why I haven't posted for so long). Here's something to give you an idea of my highly productive two weeks...
I passed the final tests for my driver's licence, my mum and I cleaned the cellar (and threw away A LOT of junk that had accumulated down there over the past two years or so), I made a lot of progress with my diploma work, I finally made some extra space in my room by putting all the books I don't currently need neatly into boxes, and I also did a lot of other smaller chores.

I almost forgot! My latest achievement: I finally got to drive on the highway!!! I went as fast as 120 kmph!!! It was SOOO GREAT!! I can't wait to do it again (and 'again' may be this Wednesday!) Otherwise my driving lessons are progressing with warp-speed. I've been driving for about a month now (if I don't count my teacher's holiday) and I've already used up my package of twenty lessons. I'll have to pay for another one in a couple of days in order to keep practicing my (extremely enjoyable, if I may say so) driving.

Let me end with a couple of plans for the near future: redecorate our flat, clean the garage, drive, drive, drive, work on my diploma paper, ... I'll be pretty bussy! But that's no problem - it's nice and cool now, no more heat, and in such weather you really feel so refreshed and you regenerate all the energy you lost under the burning sun pretty quickly! So, chores of all kinds - here I come!!!
