i am supposed to give an one hour presentation about my thesis next wednesday. so i really wanted to get down to business today and start working on the powerpoint slides and stuff. unfortunately, i woke up with a splitting headache this morning that had gone considerably worse by mid-afternoon. i am reluctant when it comes to painkillers but when you have the prospect of inspecting the porcelain for the rest of the evening, popping a pill seems the better choice.
change of topic: they announced the stages and route of the Tour de France 2005 (deux mille cinq — i love this number!) today. what a surprise! no Alpe d’Huez or Mont Ventoux and only three stages finishing on mountain tops. but lots of flat stages, which are in my opinion sort of boring. however, i am curious if Lance is going to be in the TdF 2005. it would be fun, especially since parts of two stages are in Germany, home of arch-competitor Jan “Ulle” Ullrich.
Good luck on your presentation! I’m sure you’ll have an awesome one!
Hope you’re feeling better, have a wonderful weekend and Happy Halloween!!!
