Back on track, and the wheels are spinning as fast as ever. Autumn is here, and as usual for me there is so much to do. Not that I’m complaining, it helps keep my mind off the disturbingly deep thoughts. Thought a quick recap of my summer could be in…

LinCon and the awesomeness of reality
Another gaming convention come and gone. Another weekend of feeling utterly at home and enjoying every second of good company and board games and general geekiness. Even the signature social panic managed to stay away this time. Might be a one-time lucky accident, or I might have leveled up on…

How to keep sane in times of stress
“It hadn’t been a good day; sanity was a distant memory.” — Terry Pratchett (Pyramids) Another weekend past. As usual I didn’t finish a third of the things I set out to do. Ye gods, remind me to never study more than 100 % at the same time ever again.…

I’ve got a strong cup of tea, King Crimson in my headphones, and inspiration just kicked in. All I need to finally get some work done. Argh, why am I a night person? I should be sleeping, not be pulling an all-nighter just because I never seem to get anything…

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…

Wish I was somewhere else
In good news: I passed the oral exam on atomic physics! In awesome news: I passed the oral exam on atomic physics with honors! I am not quite sure how this happened. Mostly luck, as in being asked the right questions, I suspect. Nevertheless, it’s a hell of a self-confidence boost! In…

Accelerating towards unfinished sentences
Feelings oscillating between despair, a slight sense of hope, a feeling that everything will probably be okay, mind-boggling terror, and back to despair again. All in a day. Still no apathy though, which I believe is a positive sign. I have never worked so hard for a course as in this one,…

I miss my sanity
Second of six reports handed in, with one whole minute left before deadline. Go me! Argh, and the madness doesn’t end until after the exams. I hate oral exams, they make me so nervous I forget everything I might’ve remembered if I had gotten to write an essay about it…
