My code is handing me a lot of lemons today. In the form of error messages and ridiculously unreasonable results. I debug and solve some problems, just to have new ones crop up. This was supposed to be a very simple piece of programming. My supervisors are disappointed, and I…

Fear
Haven’t written in a while. There’s something in the way, a sort of hurdle to get over. I might as well write my way through it. It’s the best way I have of getting thoughts out of the way so that I can move on and find something resembling peace…

Blood
It is not a pleasant way to start the day by waking up by choking on your own blood. Just so you know. At least the day didn’t get worse from there on. Have had another wisdom tooth pulled out, and suddenly the wound decided to start bleeding like crazy…

Not dead, just busy
Kind of default state now, this working every waking hour and still have a to do-list two meters long. Oh, how I miss my sanity. But I’m living and learning. A lot. Hopefully I will even remember some of the things when my brain has solidified again after having been…
