The Nottingham Experience: week 3

"you look fine

there's nothing to worry
take your time
baby there's no hurry
for once just enjoy the ride"

Marlango - Enjoy the ride

Keepin' busy is all I want to do. It seems, though, that someway, somehow,it is pretty hard. The project is currently in its first phase: documentation, first contact... I sometimes have the feeling it's never going to attract me. But I actually know it's not possible. The programming environment looks capable, although the documentation is not very encouraging. All I need to do is to get deep in my mind and try to travel through the magic world of colours...

So, I wake up. 30 minutes later, I get up. Have breakfast. Work a little. There's no food. Tesco is the solution. Why? 2 minutes walking and you'll know. Have lunch. Then have dinner (oh my! always thinking in the same!). Maybe a pint somewhere with friends later. The night came 2 hours ago... is the day finished? Why does it always rain on me? My friend Jordi said: "we have to put our batteries on..."

Anyway, everything is not as "stressing" as it seems. We do work, we do have some spare time, we do take it seriously. Living alone is just the experience I always wanted. It's kind of a self-test. Am I ready to something like this? All the answers in the next episode...

People here is nice. We've met lots of people since last post. Surprisingly (or not), there's a lot of Spanish people. But anyway it is always great to meet new friends, wherever they come from. We can't lie. We're partying quite a lot. In fact, the most important thing is we're enjoying this experience that just started (despite what some people say).

There are night when you just play a role. You know it from the begining. Once you start the first line, everything is already written. The crowd will be disappointed if you finish before the end. Critics are going to kill you. Then you choose between keep playing your role or quit, hoping that you'll never hear whatever critics shout. What you actually don't know is that you don't realize the play is already written, so the decision was actually taken from the begining. But don't say it loud: critics still don't even know...
