Finally!!! Today’s the day that (in my eyes) I finished my study. I just got home from handing in my Master Thesis at the Erasmus University. When I got there there were still some things that needed to be done but thanks to the the nice and helpfull people at the Erasmus fot their time and effort I was able to hand in my Master Thesis. Thank you!!!

Now I can really start focussing on my trip to China and preparing or my presentation, to all the people that are actually reading this. I’ll be defending my thesis on thursday the sixth of september at 16:00. There won’t be a lot of space so the only people that can be present in the room will be my parents, girlfriend and some family members. But if you want to come and see my graduation that’s absolutely NO problem.

Guess I’ll be sending quite a few e-mails to people I want to see and talk to before I’ll be leaving for China. Next two high priority things on my to do list are:

• getting my ticket
• getting my visa

And of course … celebrate my birthday wednesday. Damn, I’m getting old …

As I said in my last post, the last two weeks I was studying for one exam. This was for me the most difficult courses during my study at the Erasmus. Finance is an interesting course but somehow I never managed to pass the exams up until yesterday. FinBel1 was the only course I still had to do before I can hand in my Master Thesis and yesterday was the big day for me. I was quite nervous for the exam but I managed to pass it. I’m really happy about that and that’s one less thing on my to do list.

Now I can really concentrate on finalizing my Master Thesis and handing it in before the end of the month. But that’s not the only thing on my mind. I’m moving out of my dorm room this weekend so I’m also busy with packing and cleaning things up in my room in Rotterdam. Can’t believe how time flies and two years have passed since I moved into my room. I had a great time over there and I’m quite sad to leave. But since I don’t need the room anymore it will save me a lot of money.

Anyway, I’ve got quite a tight schedule for the coming weeks and I really got to start preparing for Beijing. You know, get my Visa, buy my ticket, get my medical check up and stuff like that.

After monts of work the end is finally getting in sight. The end of what you might ask, well let me tell you. I’m very close to finishing my Master Thesis and graduating from the Erasmus. If all goes well I can hand in my Thesis within the next few weeks.

After that it’s time to work and prepare for China but more of that when I’m done with my Thesis. That’s it for now.
