I have, for a while now, owned quite a few pocket notebooks, usually Moleskine. These notebooks all have the same life cycle: I’m a very inconsistent person. The booklet I’m writing in at the moment is one given for free at the Riders Hotel in Laax. Incidentally, that place is amazing. But whatI’m writing in…

It’s 9:30. I’m at home, sitting at my desk, looking out over the neighbourhood. Everything is covered in a thick layer of snow. At the end of the road, a chimney is exhaling white smoke that looks almost like a cloud of rising snow. On my balcony, a chair has fallen over. Its back now…

I read the VAMP this week, and was rather unimpressed. Much respect to the authors, but I suppose the writing styles didn’t really appeal to me. The dialogue series, though highlighting important issues, seems somewhat stilted. I didn’t really enjoy the interjections from “a student in the future”, though I respect the fact that they…

Last week, I fell out of my good habits again. I skipped Analysis and spent the entire time browsing Reddit or reading Dragon Ball (which, by the way, I finished within 3 days). I promised myself that after the election, I’d stop browsing that hellsite for good. On the weekend, I couldn’t help but notice…

A pebble is kicked across the ground, crackling and fizzing against the other stones. The kids are tired. It’s been a long walk. The heavy bags and the scorching sun beat down, melting resolve. For most of them, it’s their first time doing such a hike. My first time, I’d never walked that distance before,…

I’m currently sitting in ETA F5, on the “deck”. The deck is the best seat in the entire lecture hall, but only one person can sit there. To explain: The row in front of the projectors has tables, but no chairs. So, you have to have a chair to sit on the deck. But, there…

I have about an equal number of posts in my drafts as actually posted. Hey, I only said I’d make a post once a week, I never promised to post them. I was kind of out of it the week before last, a little on the stressed side. My most recent draft seems to be…

Damnit. I feel like I’ve wasted another weekend. It’s currently 17:55 on Sunday. I’ve just sat down at my desk to write a blog post. The subject would have been how little I’d achieved given the whole weekend. However, the truth is slightly different. While I certainly haven’t achieved as much as I wanted to,…

It’s good. I’m enjoying uni quite a lot. In general, my expectations were right. The lectures are interesting so far – even though some have a fairly slow pace (cough cough Analysis). I found the ideas in LinAlg interesting and could grapple with them well. Informatik is just the basics so far and I’m looking…
