The upside and downside of class equality:


The downside:
Carting a 25 kilo desk on your shoulder for 25 minutes through town, if you are too lower class to own a car.
The upside:
If you are lower class enough to have no car, then you are lower class enough to have some labouring experience.

The upside:
Getting free education through university, thus not having to work as a labourer (for your entire life).
The downside:
Watching your hard-won savings dwindle rapidly while awaiting approval for your thesis from someone who has never worked a hard day in their lives.

p.s. I had to go and get a 40 kilogram bookshelf afterwards... That was a bit too heavy for me.
p.p.s. The picture is the end of my current running route.

Allow me to translate:

"I want to sleep in the place in the pic".

Hmmm. I am not so sure thou wouldst wish to sleep in the place in the picture. I ran there on Saturday evening, and on the way back the roar of the wind in my face was deafening. We are experiencing a cold snap with winds coming directly from the North Pole. It is rather chilly in the North Pole.

This is my first email in my new home office in my room. I can write so much more crap now that I am using a proper keyboard at a proper desk, instead of a laptop on my lap on the couch. Cool.

Sounds good.

U know, i got me one of those, wat do u call'em, those lap trays? Well, it's the little plastic surface, that's actually circular in the side that sticks to ur body, and it's got a cushion attached underneath. They're used as a thing to put ur laptop on so the heat wudnt get to u. Plus its veeeeeeeery comfortable. Especially when ur in bed. They had them at IKEA.

I just leave it on my lap. Weakness is for the weak.

We are rather far from the North Pole, fortunately, but the wind is coming from there.

Not a bad first comment count for my new baby blog.
