Moving in Netherlands

On August this year I'll be moving in Utrecht, Netherlands (for at least two years) to study „Software Technology“ at Utrecht University. I'm really excited about the things I'm going to learn there, and also about the fact that I'll be surrounded with people having similar goals. I'm leaping into the unknown here, in the sense that everything about Netherlands is unfamiliar, but I am absolutely convinced it's going to create a lot of opportunities for self improvement. The Dutch language is somewhere in the middle between English and German, it's not easy to learn, but I can already say useful simple things like „How much does that cost“ or „I am going to eat something“. Anyway, all the courses will be in English. The Software Technology research at UU is mostly related to functional programming and programming languages in general from what I can tell, and I look forward to getting started!

Yeah, I am! Thank you Sonia! I'm not planning to smoke any, except maybe one, for you know, research purposes, to see what the fuss is all about, should the occasion occur.
