back in Pisa

A lot to write about, but ofcourse no time :) I already got back to the office yesterday when I came back. No I'm not a workaholic, it was just nicer to see some people instead of sitting home alone. Yesterday at the airport and also when I just arrived in my room, I thought: why am i torturing myself like this? I mean, a scientific career is nice (although for me it is not so much the career, as more just doing something I really like), but is it worth it when I am not happy? But as I walked to the hospital I started thinking a bit more positive, about that there are enough people in this city, so I should be capable of finding some friends and that I probably will be getting back to Maastricht in 5 weeks or so.. However, that is also a bit of the problem, when I keep thinking of Maastricht I can never settle here, so how can I be happy if I keep longing to be in another place? So I should really focus on being here and having a nice life here.. But then again, how can I do that if half of me (Lauran, my friends, my family) is in the Netherlands? I guess i'm not as easy adaptable as some others (like Marije, I am always amazed how well you manage, anywhere). But I just heared some chearing up news, so i will hope that the uncertainty about my future will be over at some point, so I can find some peace (both in Pisa and Maastricht). I mean the fact that I don't know how long I will be here also doesn't really help. Anyhow, I had many other, more fun stuff to tell but I think I have to continue working a bit now, so maybe later today if I have some time..
Maybe I should say again that I was very happy to see a lot of you again! :D
