Back from the Netherlands. The memorial and funeral were very beautiful and moving. It was hard to leave my mum but I know she has her other children and grandchildren around her and she has a wonderful community of neighbours and friends. I hope she will soon feel strong enough to continue her work with the most vulnerable people in Romania, see
Humanitair Roemenie. This work has always given her much satisfaction and friendship.
And I have to get going too, but I haven't found my track yet. I am still working myself through the administrative and bureacratic part of it. Good news is that i just sign my contract as a research fellow with the University in Bergen. But I haven't been accepted in the PhD programme yet. I have the work on the PhD proposal again which is the same proposal that got me the NFR grant in the first place but that is too complex and large for a PhD proposal. Working on the same proposal for so long is really bad for my mood. It is now 10 months ago that I submitted it to the NFR and since then I have 'moved on' but my proposal hasn't. I know I should leave it as it is, simplify it, and get over with it.
