School is getting interesting again (the last course was less I think). I’m now preparing a research about time, investigating how people spend their time in between the things they do. I hope to get something more about possible ‘doing nothing’ time.
The last few weeks I’ve noticed that I look differently at the trip to [...]
Next to that I’m not using a clock anymore, I also start forgetting which day and date it is. Not for a day, but for weeks now, I don’t really have an idea of the calendar anymore. I do of the events, but not of the date itself. Another thing is that I don’t have [...]
Am I that stressed that I feel that all stress course teachers talk too slow?
Again, in Dutch. I’ll keep on doing that because there are some people who want to hear my ‘native’ voice. But some English subtitles can be found at dotSub (oh, what a horrible website..).
I’ve restarted Inbox Zero – a technique to process your email faster and ’spend less time in your inbox’ – and I’ve [...]
In my current course, Leadership Development and Communication, we had to work in a group to make a change (yes, we can) inside an organization. After wanting to change the world via different UN bodies we came up with the idea to bring small bags of chips – common in the UK – to the [...]
Not much activity on my blogg lately. I’ve been ‘doing nothing’, feels very good :)
For my last course – which I finished with a ‘pass with distinction’ grade, the highest possible – I had to write a book review and I reviewed ‘A Geography of Time‘ by Robert Levine. Levine describes very interesting differences between [...]
This morning I had my first exam here. Well, this morning and day actually. You have 5 hours! to complete your exam here, and I used 4:45 of it :)
I was a bit anxious (a thing we needed to learn for the exam) for this. In the Netherlands I normally have 1 to 2 hours, [...]
Saturday morning early we – almost all exchange students – left to Stockholm. The night before I’ve been dancing at a party at Kåren (the student union) which made it extra early.. but I was mentally prepared.
At the station I bought a Balder (a sandwich with the same name as my brother) as I [...]
For my course I have to read some extra literature next to the required ones, literature I choose myself. After some search in old patterns (education, virtual reality) I got the idea to search for time, how we experience time and how that influences our behavior. We already had some of this in the lectures [...]
Today I had a lecture again where we discussed about stereotypes. Tulips, cheese and drugs-friendly Dutch; family loyal, siesta enjoying and hard-working Mexicans; always on time, environmentally aware and reserved Swedes; and many more.
What I particularly liked was that it came clear that stereotypes are not always negative, in fact stereotypes are mostly positive when [...]
