@everybody Thanks for all the congratulations, but I’ll just wait a little bit longer with accepting them until I safely graduated ;). Thesis is handed in now, so it’s no longer in my hands!

@Jarno Time off komt er zeker aan! Zo nominaal is ook maar niks ;).

@Lab Rat You should feel sneaky! The Dutch education system takes a looong time. A PhD requires you to study 4 more years and publishing 3-4 papers. Talk about putting on the pressure!

LUCAS! This is what I think about most of the time. I want to be an explorer, travel through the Amazon documenting species for the first time, or something. Sometimes it feels like all the “cool stuff” has already been discovered. But I try to think about it like the CMF problem – focusing on the big things and ignoring the cool little ones. And we both appreciate how awesome the little species can be.

Anyway, I’m a rambler, but good luck and an early congratulations from Philadelphia

Schraal nominaal Lucas. Nu het einde van je studententijd nabij is raad ik je aan om er helemaal tussenuit te gaan. Tip: huur een auto en doe een roadtrip new York naar San fransisco. Of ga van Vietnam via singapore-bali-n.guinea naar melborne.
