I am back at my parental home for a month this summer, and I am spending  at least some of this month clearing out my room. These past couple days I’ve been going through all my boxes of miscellaneous pieces of paper.

      Actually, I got nothin’, all my ambitions were fully achievable :P
      That’s probably a lie, in that I’ll have deliberately forgotten all the embarassing ridiculous ones.
      I used to really want to be an author, then I didn’t for a while, and now I kinda want to do scientific journalism which is heading back in that direction I suppose.
