Ahoj everyone,
So at the end of the week is the dreaded Vianočné besiedka - gah. At least I am only staying for a couple of hours and then I can escape as my flight to Moskva leaves at midnight. Yay! I'm so excited to see Jeck again. We were a bit worried that it might not happen due to the rioting there last week but apparently things have quietened down now.
I also have a decision to make by Thursday afternoon and I am still undecided I have been offered 2 different internships (or goferships really, lol) for 10 weeks next summer and
can't make my mind up which I want to do the most. I could either go to McMurdo in the Antarctic and study
geothermal fissures and the effects of global warming, or, I can go to
the European Space Agency and study propulsion fuels and exothermic reactions.
Really, really spoilt for choice here.
Then Mum and Dan both wanted me to go back to the UK for a visit as it will be 2 years since I left and the grand-parents are missing me. Well I'm sorry about that but they didn't want me to come to Slovakia in the first place, they wanted me to leave school and get a job stocking shelves in Asda. If it wasn't for Nanna I wouldn't have had the courage to do anything and I don't want to go back and get nagged at - again.
Aargh decisions, decisions. Any advice from you all would be very appreciated. I know the final decision is down to me but I would like some input. I have two HUGE sheets of paper with Pro and Con that are almost filled, lol
Right, back to my quantum dynamics course work, I have at least another hour before I can go to bed.
And we still haven't had any snow here! At least Jeck says they have some in Moskva.
Dobrú noc (goodnight)

"Daddy It Hurts"
--Daddy It Hurts--
My name is Chris I am three,
My eyes are swollen I cannot see,
I must be stupid I must be bad,
What else could have made My daddy so mad?
I wish I were better I wish I weren't ugly,
Then maybe my mommy Would still want to hug me.
I cant do a wrong I cant speak at all
Or else I'm locked up All day long.
When I'm awake I'm all alone The house is dark
My folks aren't home When my mommy does come home I'll try and be nice,
So maybe ill just get One whipping tonight.
I just heard a car My daddy is back From Charlies bar
I hear him curse My name is called I press myself Against the wall I try to hide From his evil eyes I'm so afraid now I'm starting to cry
He finds me weeping Calls me ugly words,
He says its my fault He suffers at work
He slaps and hits me And yells at me more,
I finally get free And run to the door
He's already locked it And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me Against the hard wall I fall to the floor With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues With more bad words spoken,
"I'm sorry!", I scream But its now much to late
His face has been twisted Into a unimaginable shape
The hurt and the pain Again and again
O please God, have mercy!
O please let it end!
And he finally stops
And heads for the door
While I lay there motionless Sprawled on the floor
My name is Chris I am three,
Tonight my daddy Murdered me
And you can help Sickens me to the soul,
And if you read this and don't pass it on
I pray for your forgiveness
Because you would have to be One heartless person
To not be affected By this Poem
And because YOU ARE affected,
Do something about it! So all I ask you to do Is pass this on!
IF YOU ARE AGAINST CHILD ABUSE! PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THIS AND PASS IT ON !!

True Story
I have just realised it is 132 days today since I stopped smoking!
I reckon I deserve a treat and a pat on the back. I used to love smoking, I never disliked the smell and always said that when my surgeries were done I would start again, but, I'm not going to. After three days of breathing oxygen through a plastic tube I was most disturbed by the fact that my first visitors who came reeked of stale cigarettes and made me feel so sick! I was actually backing away from them as they reached over to kiss me. However, I promise that I wont turn into one of the holier than thou ex smokers though. Just because I now dislike it, it doesn't give me the right to preach to my family and friends. I hated it when people used to nag me. I am a grown up woman and perfectly capable of making my own decisions be they bad or good ones. I do not need nannying, thank you very much!
Nvember 9th 2001
I saw the following earlier and had to smile. My eldest son and his girlfriend are flying to Slovakia next weekend and both are nervous passengers!
Heard on a Southwest Airline flight. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you wish to smoke, the smoking section on this airplane is on the wing and if you can light 'em, you can smoke 'em."
Hell Has Frozen Over
This is just too funny and I absolutely had to share it. I'm not all about the religion talk , but it's an absolute must read .
The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well. Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, " it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore extinct. . . leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

WOW. You are spoilt for choice is right! *wishes for a time-turner so you could do both*
I really don't have much advice except to consider which appeals to you most, and which would help you along your career path the most.
As for visiting, I agree with you. THEY can come visit you; you are one busy young lady and need to stay that way. *nods*
And, as if you don't know it, your Nanna would be SO proud of you...as are we all. *hugs*
agrees with enchie.. Hugs demi.. ohh a time turner
Hmmmm, playing in the snow or taking up space? Where's the ESA? If it's warm, go there. But then again to play with penguins would be cool. As far as mom and dad, if they give you grief tell them it's your decision and you're an adult.
Advice? Hmmm. Here's all I've got. Other things being equal (which of course they might not be) Antarctica is likely to be a whole lot more interesting and memorable than wherever the ESA is located. I have a friend who booked a trip to Antarctica on a Russian ice breaker a few years back, and she had the time of her life.
I'd opt for ESA as it can get a bit chilly in Antarctica,
Wimp
Not at all, I just don't like the cold . and you would need a woolly hat scarf and gloves and skis, and not forgetting those big penguins, they could chase you and you could fall down a crevice,
And the six month winter the Sun never rises above the horizon.
Double wimp
Bah humbug to you.
McMurdo
Ok. I had to come back and explain that answer.
Who knows, with the climate changes going on with ever increasing speed, how long the bases on Antarctica will be operational? This chance may not come again.
