« voilà! | Home | Short Notes about Louvain-la-Neuve »
Working Sunday
My initial plans for today were visiting Brussels but as I was quite productive yesterday I thought I should have continued working. Now, I partly regret and partly not regret the decision. I have boiling water under way again - I guess I need some balance. When I really feel the heat for work, then it is absolute. Yesterday, after about 9 hours of work I went home and continued reading - it was the new edited book of Christine Hine. I got stuck with the epilogue, written by Nicholas W. Jankowski and Martine van Selm. The authors discuss about agenda for Internet research and in accordance with methodological innovation concept, they report a gap exactly on the spot where my PhD could come in - the lack of research designs for incorporating three major paradigms within social science, or on a method level the lack of mixed methods designs suitable for Internet research. And this is exactly the thing I have been dealing with in the last year.
So, I put the book aside, tried to fall asleep but didn’t work. The ideas inside my head were chasing my sleep, questions kept popping up. Awful. Now, I am sleepy and much less productive then yesterday.
I took a walk around the lake, which is only a few minutes away from my office. The proof that Louvain-la-Neuve is a lot of nature, too;)
The ducks
Trees in the water

Quite a nice tree shot.
Of course we expect a full illustrated report on Brussels and Belgian chocolate before you’re back. Does Belgian chocolate have three levels like Louvain-la-Neuve? If you happened to bring back some samples it’d be much easier to, ahem, carefully evaluate the situation.
Er, never mind.

Erm …I haven’t even tried a piece of chocolate yet;) So, maybe it is about time …
