what i want to do in 2005
* finish my PhD
* find a decent job
* improve my french
* upgrade my computer
* buy a road bike and compete in a race
* visit Paris
2004 was not really what i would call a good year both on a personal and professional level. i lost friends, a person very close to me died and i spend most of the year working on my thesis which should have been finished some time ago. so i wish and hope that 2005 is going to be better.
