Not two but three exams

Suddenly the econometrics teacher decide to give us exam (on panel data) just when I have a major conference in Rome. She mentioned about the probable exam before and I told her about my conference. But still the timing is so perfect (with only one day notice).

The exam is take home with 48 hours duration. But for me it is take to Rome with 6 hours time. Just finished it after start at 9 pm. I have conference the whole days and don't want to work on it again tomorrow night.

Hopefully tomorrow noon I will get the scale to weight my stuff from a friend, so I can pack those books and other items to send home by posta Italia. So many things to do in so little time.

Big bang or black hole

I am now in Eindhoven after an ecam yesterday morning, five hours bus to Milan just afterward and a morning flight from Bergamo.

Can't believe in just in two week plus period I am having two exam, three conferences (Den Haag, Rome, Siena) and packing to go home with a complicated route.

I do want to end my Italian stage with a (big) bang but not as a black hole that drain all energy and matter.

Rome - Manila - KL - Jakarta

Yup, that will be my route in three weeks. Just print the online ticket.

Somehow the torturous route is 300 euro cheaper than if I fly directly to Jakarta. Guess not much Indonesian in Italy.

Other friends fly to Frankfurt first before catching flight to Jakarta.

Good things that my old friend that currently work in Manila willing to extend his hospitality so I can stay there for two days before taking the Asean leg of the journey (thanks God there is Air Asia).

Now must get back to study
