Birthday-Thanks!
Yesterday was a a very sunny day so I decided to leave email as it is, leave my studies as it is, cycle around Cambridge a little bit, buy the ingredients for the birthday cake and then waited for people to arrive at the party. I had a great time and want to thank everybody who came along.
Because of globalization and time zones, the first congratulations reached me already on April 15th and the last ones reached me this morning. Thanks to everybody who thought of me, I’ll try to respond very soon!
When I was 8 years old, I thought that by the time that I am 28, I will be a multi-trillion-zillionaire with a huge house on a cliff, my own rollercoaster and hundreds of cars. Right now, I have a bike, live in a graduate student accomodation and do not even own most of the books in my room (because they are from the library, of course). Well, what would I do with hundreds of cars, anyway?
However, when trying to look back, it seems I’ve done a lot of interesting things, but not always followed a very consistent course in life. But I got to know a lot of very interesting people, and I guess I have to be thankful for that.
