I have actually bought several books to learn a few new things and a couple of old things better, but because of the point above I've yet to open them... feel like I'm slightly in over my head much of the time... :(

I know the feeling... my biological clock is actually audible by now... :(

All in all 2007 has been a depressing year.

But luckily, there were a few nice things, too...

* attended my first MR picnic
* earned enough to support myself properly for the first time in like 10 years (student life and later freelancing has taken its toll)

:)
