Well…. I’m here in Lausanne starting my intensive french class at 9am tomorrow. I’ll have to find me somewhere permanent to live within the next couple of days. That will be a challenge, but that’s what I signed up for anyway, so I might just as well get started.

I’m looking forward to 1 month ahead in time, when all this will be sorted out, and I can concentrate on meeting people and maybe enjoying actually learning theoretical stuff again. Not that I didn’t learn anything while working with programming, but when you learn to solve a specific problem right in front of you, it’s more of a practical approach of getting stuff to work that I had to apply.

The irony here is that it was exactly the lack of any practical knowlegde that got me so tired of school I had to take a break from the traditional education system two years ago. I wish it were simpler to find a balance between practical appliance and theoretical understanding.

With this in the back of my mind it wasn’t exactly an easy decision to go back to school, but there are other advantages of being a student than what you learn, I’d say, so I’m hoping studying here in Lausanne will be amusing and entertaining, and if I even manage to pick up a little theory as well, then that’s just an added bonus.
