Rain

I used to like rain. I don't know any more. Today, it's been raining nonstop. Because of that, we had to walk to the nearest bus stop (~2Km) to go to CERN by bus (to be able to carry an umbrella, otherwise biking meant getting there completely soaked.)

It also meant that we had to go back home earlier. I still had lots of work to do, and thought I could continue at home, but the internet here is so slow, that it takes forever to connect to the CERN server (not to mention to open any of the applications I need.)

I'm not sure if I still like the rain. I guess I do, just not when I live 5Km from work, and can't afford getting there all soaked.

I spent some time this last Sunday biking around Freney-Voltaire (the town next to ours.) The only things opened were a small cafe, and a local theater. Sunday can be quite sad when you live far away from everything, and have no plans.



Hopefully, in a few more weeks, we'll be going somewhere far enough... Let's hope our plan works out... I might be heading to one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, or so I've heard. Any guess?

Today I feel a little overwhelmed. Or, maybe I'm just thinking too much, but there's nothing else I can do while I wait for my connection with CERN to be reestablished. I think I feel like crying since several days ago, but I haven't been able to. Maybe 'cause I know that if I cry, no one will listen (or care, for that matter.) I can see how little I've grown up the last few years, and the time difference doesn't help much.
