Dear all,

Happy New Year - and now for my second ever log.......I'm currently in the middle of revising for exams (and have been over Christmas)....and unlike certain loggers, I can't seem to muster any more energy to write a log (plus, I don't have anything to write about......or maybe some quantum physics, Linear Algebra and Control systems could be discussed....I think not!).

I didn't celebrate Armenian Christmas last Sunday, my parents did for me....although......I don't seem to have received a second lot of Christmas presents.

There's no-one around here (outside of term time) at the moment, so instead of talking to the wall, I've been confined to computer chatting (via ICQ and Yahoo)...and so that means I mainly talk to my Hayastantsi friends during revision- It's quite bizarre.

So after all this work for the year, I'm taking a holiday and am planning to go overland, from Venice onwards, up through Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania and the Ukraine via rail and then meet up with a friend from Yerevan for a short holiday on the Black Sea, after which we're going to try and get a ferry across the Black Sea to Batumi and then a bus to Yerevan........should be brilliant fun and quite an interesting trip - hopefully I'm going to stay with friends and friends of friends along the way. So that's what my motivation is at the moment..too much quantum physics can do strange things. And then dependent upon whether I start a career straightaway, or start a PhD....I may be tempted to stay in Hayastan for maximum of a year, so then I'll definitely improve my Hayeren!

Anyway, I think Ashod (Nakashian) needs to write a log........he's written even less than me ;-)
