studying 9 to 5, what a way to make a living

Sitting in school everyday, all the day. But it feels quite good to get into a routine of waking up rather early and going to bed at a decent hour. The thesis is progressing slowly. There are many things to think about and the collecting of data take some time. My topic will be about institutional differences in the world and either how that affects trade, or how trade affects the institutions. Anyway, something that has to do with institutions and trade. I am happy with the topic, well at least at this moment. Later, however, I am sure there will be ups and downs regarding the topic I have picked. There always is.
