Hello! Today, I got up quite early
-> uni time (for the last Tuesday in this semester)
-> numerics from 8-10
-> went to talk to my friends
-> then, at like 10:40ish I had to go to the hospital for a dexa-scan.
(Turns out, I’ve gotten fat. I had like 27% body-fat. The doc thought, it’s a bit unfair, since I have a stomach disease… Still, I gotta lose some fat.)
-> [I told my friends, that I probably won’t get back in time for lunch before I left for the scan. Turns out, I would have. But they went to eat early, so in the end it didn’t lol.]
-> Buy food at the train-station
-> eat outside on a bench (it was cold, but it was manageable)
(There were a few crows, and one got really close to me. Like 60cm close. Cool times)
-> Go back inside & make a few memes for the final combinatorics series. (I did submit some memes each time, since my friends are the ones correcting them – to make it a little less painful.)
-> Not to toot my own horn, but some of them were jokes lol

-> start copying the numeric lectures which I missed (like 9 hours….)
-> second round of numeric lecture (actually also the last one in this semester)
-> go back home
-> PC time
-> dinner (Mom cooked, we had omelettes)
-> help mom with the dishes
-> PC time
-> fall asleep for like 20 minutes on my chair lol
-> back awake – but not really tired anymore
-> PC time
-> now I’m here writing (to) you.

Some more notes:

I actually did like the numeric lectures. But from talking with some other students, I was in the tiny minority of students that did like it.
I’m actually considering doing a masters degree in math, with my master thesis in numeric (or applied math).

Today I had quite a sore throat. Probably because I drank to little the last few days, which is still a little of the aftermath of the Christmas celebrations on Saturday lol. I’m getting old.

While driving home from uni, I thought about how I should write my email to the chess-woman, and this made me kinda laugh, because there are a few funny ideas in my head.
But just before, when I thought about it again, I wasn’t really motivated anymore. I don’t even really know why. I guess, it’s because I’m not sure if it’ll match.
(TBH, I only got interested in her, because she spoke with me like once – and I learned that we have the same native language -> I googled her name -> couldn’t really forget about that. Now, I’m not sure, if I’m attracted to her because I googled her name… If so, it would be kinda bad I guess.
But also, she is pretty attractive. Especially for a woman in STEM lol.)
Long story short: Right now, I’m not so sure if I should write her. But I guess I will tomorrow. Just for lore reasons – and who knows; maybe it does work out…

That’s about all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

Yo! Today was the last time I had the seminar with the chess-woman I’d like to ask out. So today was the day! (Spoiler: It wasn’t lol. No balls hehe, and no good moment either :( So sad – smh)

But, in the seminar, I did have a good goodbye with the few “friends” I made along the way. It was actually kinda funny. Since my “best friend” wasn’t in the same group as I was (again…) but our groups were working right next to each other, we acted as if it were the worst. We (jokingly obviously) gave each other a hug over the table because we were so sad.

Anyway, the seminar was actually quite good. I mean, I didn’t have to do anything – perfect. Actually, my “best friend” was asked the very last question of this course, which was kinda funny, since he didn’t really have a clue lol. (Lol, but in a sad way.)

After the seminar, I spent some time talking with 2 people from the seminar (one of them was my “best friend” – what a surprise) -> go back home -> lunch.

After lunch, I wasted some time on my PC
-> going to the pharmacy with my mom & buying some things for dinner
-> more PC time
-> I wanted to cook, but my mom was already finished with it…
-> dinner
-> helping mom with the dishes
-> some more PC time
-> Helping Leon with some math stuff, since he has his exam tomorrow (this took quite long – from ~10 to half past midnight)
-> shower
-> now I’m here writing (to) you.

That’s about all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

On the topic of asking the chess-woman out: I think, like tomorrow (or on Wednesday) I’m gonna ask her out through email – mostly just for the lore. But also, it’d be jokes if it’d actually worked.

I feel (a little) like I’m gonna become ill. We’ll see. Maybe it’s just some of the aftermath of the Christmas celebrations I had with my friends. lol

Yo! As yesterday evening I was wayy too drunk to write anything, I skipped it and went straight to bed. But what did I do?

13

Morning: We (Dad, Jordan, Jerry, Leah, Sarah & her Husband) helped Sarah’s best friend move since she only recently has no more boyfriend. They were dating for like 10+ years. Must be tough. We were surprisingly fast. It only took from 8:00 – 13:30-ish; and we also ate in that time (we had a really delicious chili con carne).

Once done with moving her stuff, we went back home. At home, I had to wrap the present for the Christmas with my friend group. I gave a helium tank with some balloons, and wrapped it like a dick. Jokes haha.

As we had a dress-code (formal shirt for males & dress for women), I tried my “old” shirt for the first time in a year, and wouldn’t you know, it didn’t fit. I’ve gotten too fat(joke, I’m not fat) (even though, I just lost like 5 kg’s). And of course, I didn’t try it during the day, but only like 10 minutes before leaving. So, as an emergency, I just took one of my dad’s shirt. Since he wasn’t at home, I didn’t even ask – whoops. This fit though.

There, nothing too crazy to talk about. We talked quite a lot, and had an amazing meal – a 7 course meal in fact. And as usual, it was delicious.

They also had a dessert planned, but we skipped that, since all of us had already eaten enough.

Other than that, we mostly talked. We’ve gotten old – smh.

Though, at one time, the “smith” of the group, fell asleep at the table. Some time later, we woke him up, since it was his time to open up his present. Then, he woke up, walked over to the sink, vomited, stood there for a few moments, and then passed out. Luckily Jones was right next to him, cuz he caught him.
They then laid him on his back(?) since he had already vomited -> he ain’t gonna vomit no more. But he did. Straight up lol. Luckily Pete saw it and then we laid him on his side – like you should.

What did I get as a present: First of all, Leah gave me my gift. As we all know, I do “like” her feet – because of an incident, which we’re not gonna talk about. So she gave me an original Porsche key-chain, since we don’t have a real one on our key. Also, a mug and, last but not least, a picture of her feet. lmao. Though, it was really sweet & funny.

I then got home at like 4:30 and was super drunk and tired. -> bed

14

I woke up at ~9 o’clock. And I felt like shit – not really a surprise though haha. It was the classic “changing the way you lie -> the world turns in different ways” lol. Since I couldn’t fall back asleep, I got up like 30 minutes later. I spent some time on my PC, and then it hit me -> go to toilet -> vomit. It was quite a bit of red wine still in the vomit – cool. -> now with an empty stomach -> back to PC -> ~10 minutes later, going for a 2nd round to vomit. Super cool. This time round, it was only some stomach acid. mmm. Then the vomiting was luckily over.

I then had to wait for like one more hour & pack my things -> volleyball game. Just when I left at home, my parents came back, so I talked like 2 sentences with them and had to go about my way. At this time, I still felt like shit. Not really surprising.

Once I got to the gym, I talked with some people -> changed into sports clothes -> set up our court -> warmup -> game.
Since Daniel was not here, I had to play throughout the whole game… But it was actually quite alright. Once I was warmed up, I didn’t even feel my pulsating head anymore.

Today, we had against the same opponents as we did in the cup (which we’ve lost 2:3…). So we had a clear goal. Win. And win we did!

The first set, we started terribly. 0:5, first tome out from me. “Just play better” -> we did play better -> we won. The whole game actually. It was mostly really bad. They played like shit, and we just couldn’t really punish them. But in the end it was enough for a 3:0 win.

–> shower alone :( No Daniel was here. Though, since I only started showering, once all the others had gone (I needed some time to just sit around lol) I was able to listen to my Mongolian throat-singing playlist. And let me tell you: I did shower for ~45 minutes. It was nice.

After that, I watched some part of a game with Leon
-> Actually said “hi” to my ex, since through a coincidence I did see her there. Was about the first time it seemed nice to “talk” to her. lol.
-> went back home
-> dinner (rice with a good ham-tomato sauce) (Actually, when going home at like 18:00, I still hadn’t eaten anything real yet (which I did not vomit back out again haha). So I was hungry like a bear. At one point I felt like vomiting because of the immense hunger feeling.)
-> PC time
-> brush teeth
-> writing (to) you
-> bed

That’s it for this weekend. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

Yo! Today was another not too productive day. The morning was not bad though. I woke up -> spent some time dozing in bed -> got up -> watched a lecture -> lunch time.

Then, the afternoon was worse. I cheated my site-blocker (SMH) and just watched some twitch and car guys on YouTube. -> dinner time…

After dinner, my brother Jordan and I worked on our Porsche. It was actually really fun. What did we do? We installed the fuel pump, some heat-insulation for the hood and put in some engine-oil and coolant. Then, when we actually tried to start the car, it made a whomp sound, and then the battery had no more charge… hahaha. So now, we gotta wait until tomorrow morning, when the real check happens. Let’s hope for the best.
One funny anecdote: When we filled up the coolant thingy, the car wasn’t level AND the housing was no longer see-through, so we ended up spilling like quite a lot. Then, obviously, there was too much cooling fluid in the housing, so we had to get it out (somehow). We tried using a siphon. It only took like three failed attempts, but then, after I actually sucked it out, it worked just fine! hehe

Then, I spent some more time on my PC (actually, during this time, I made myself some cereal -> took it up to my room -> spilled some on the way here smh), took a shower and now I’m here.

That’s about all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

Hi! Today feels like I didn’t do a lot. What did I do? In the morning, I listened to 2 applied optimization lectures (somewhat interesting) and (after lunch) I solved a exercise. (It was about showing, that the Newton-method is invariant under affine transformations.)

Once I was done with that, I cheated my site blocker and watched some twitch.

Then, at about 17:00 I started to cook dinner. I made Penne with a bolognese sauce. It was actually pretty good.
-> Doing the dishes
-> watch some YouTube
-> cheat my site blocker again to watch twitch
-> here I am. (Not) Rocking like a hurricane. But I did already brush my teeth. Currently, I’m not sure, if I want to take a shower or not lol.

On a kinda unrelated note: Jordan’s and my (hopefully) final package arrived -> tomorrow our Porsche should finally drive! This would actually be perfect, since soon, both of us have like 2 weeks of vacation, during which, we could do some work on the Porsche.

Otherwise, nothing really happened today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

Actually, today, I was kinda starting to hype me up so I’ll ask the one from my uni out on a date – since next Monday is the last time we have the seminar before Christmas -> last time at all.

Yo! Today I woke up and couldn’t fall back asleep. I don’t really know why though… I only slept for like 5 hours, and I wasn’t even nervous for my presentation. (Well, if I look at it like that, I was nervous, but I didn’t really feel it…) So then, I got up, put some more work into the presentation -> held it for my mom and Emily -> lunch.

After lunch, I pretty much already had to go to uni -> presentation time!

How’d it go? Not gonna lie: I’m don’t think it was good. I mean, when I explained the custom head, no-one really got it… But this was kinda weird, since when I explained it to my mom, she did seem like she got it. Weird times! But besides that, I think it was quite good.
(Actually, I had to send my slides to my supervisor, and when she replied to me, that the presentation was quite good & that her asking questions was because of the future work I’ll do for my bachelors thesis. –> I guess, I seemed kinda sad after my presentation lol)
Also, since the prof. had a meeting right after the seminar, we didn’t discuss my grade today, but we’ll do it next week.

When driving home (in the train) I actually was kinda depressed, because of how my presentation went. And I actually thought, this was kinda ironic, since I thought I’d like to do “research” but as soon as I fuck things up (kinda), I immediately change to “I’m just gonna do a masters degree in math” lol.
So much for “liking” comp-sci-research. SMH.

Back at home, I didn’t really want to work on anything specific, so I just solved some Sudoku’s – just like I did a while back.
-> Dinner
-> PC-time (I nearly fell asleep)
-> Daniel texted me, and asked how my presentation was (Not gonna lie, I was kinda surprised by that, since usually he’s not like that haha. I mean, he forgets those things lol)
-> shower (for way too long, but I did have some good ideas for my bachelors thesis, which I’m gonna try tomorrow.)
-> writing (to) you
-> bed.

That’s about all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

Hello! Today was a surprisingly unproductive day. I mean, I slept until like 11:30 (which means, I slept for 10 hours straight – wtf?) and then I basically spent the entire day working on my bachelors thesis presentation (and loads of waiting for the fine-tuning to be over). That’s pretty much all already. Since I have successfully blocked everything, I didn’t even really waste time, though, I did just have to wait for quite long.

Also, I did not hold my presentation to anyone as of now. I’m planning on holding it tomorrow to myself, and that should suffice – I hope!

Now I’m about to take a shower and then go to bed. That’s it for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

Hello! Today was another day. It was pretty much as usual. Though, since I went to bed kinda early yesterday (around 1), and my alarm rang shortly before 9, I had a pretty good nights sleep. -> I wasn’t even really tired. Nice! But I did go to uni as usual.

There, we had the AI seminar. Since for each missed seminar, you have to present one paper, There were some presentations today. Some were really bad, and some quite good.
As a quick side-note: We are given a pretty strict time limit of 5 minutes. Anything longer, and we get interrupted by the prof, and a some points deducted.
One guy had a quite good looking presentation. He then was talking a little bit about the motivation, prior work, and so on. Then, once he got to the interesting part (the proposed idea) the prof interrupted and he had to skip to the conclusion.
Then, as usual, the prof asked us, if we had any questions, then I raised my hand, and asked:” Can you explain the proposed idea?” Jokes (~half the class laughed SUI). The prof then said, that he gets 30 seconds.

Otherwise, nothing much happened -> I went back home -> lunch.

Midway in lunch, Emily came home and then ate lunch with me. At one time she was like:” Oh shit! – I just got my grade!” And started shaking lol. Then, she got nervous, so she couldn’t look herself, and I had to look for her.
As usual, I was a bit slow, and shit. Then I asked her what she thinks a good grade would be (she said ~6/8 points) I then made a “shits though”-breather & made her a little nervous. But then I told her, that she had 7.7/8 points. What a nerd. But I got her good. lol.

In the afternoon, I spent some time working on my bachelors thesis. I did find some more errors. Shambles. But I found it today, so it’s not too bad. Tomorrow a full day to fix em. (Also, it’s not too bad lol).

In the evening, I had volleyball practice. It was amusing, though, I don’t think it was that productive lol. And also, funnily enough, we let Leon drive the manual swiftly after practice. He had never driven a car before. And he was alright. I explained what he should do, so it kinda went.
Right in the beginning though, he stood on the clutch, turned on the car, and just let go of the clutch. lol. We did make a small jump haha. Other than that, it was actually quite good.

Then, once I was back home again, I did work some more on my bachelors thesis. Good times.

That’s about all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

Today was my ex’s birthday. I did congratulate her. Cool! But I feel like (currently) I’m actually doing quite good. Feels a little odd though, so all things together. Weird times.

Hi! Yesterday, I nearly forgot to write (to) you – I only remembered when lying in bed, but I was too tired -> I didn’t get up to write but fell asleep. So here are the two days.

6th

I had to get up kinda early, since Jordan and I wanted to go to buy some things for our Porsche. Turns out, the store we went to only had like half the things we needed.

After that, we went home, I had to pack my things and then I already had to go to my volleyball game. I went with the train (alone) and then met up with the team there.

Quickly about the game: It was alright. We (mostly) played OK, and they did about the same. But they had like 2/3 players, which usually play in a higher division – so it was kinda annoying, since without them, we might have won…
We lost 3:1, but 2/3 sets we lost, we had more than 20 points – in one even 23…

After the game, I drank a few beers with Daniel, we showered for a somewhat long time, and then went to eat.
Since Emiliana asked us (not too long ago) why we never went back to her place and rang at the door again. So we did that. And wouldn’t you know, she wasn’t there. What a surprise?! We then called her, and turns out, she was coaching one of her teams. Tough. But she said, that she’d be home on the 22nd, so we should go then.

After this incident we went back home.

At home, they had a family day -> I joined in on. We just talked a bit, and then I gave a small version of my bachelors thesis to Leah and Jerry. Soon after, all of them left, I worked some more on my presentation and then went to bed.

7th

I had to get up early once again. Today, Jordan and I had a course for getting a full license. The whole point was basically just driving with enough distance to the car in front of us, and also braking & sliding (& a little bit of drifting).
It was actually quite a lot of practical things. I mean, we had to go with a car, and then we had to drive on different roads (either normal, or a more slippery one) and then do maneuvers like emergency breaking, taking a turn and so on.

It was surprisingly fun. Also, there was one woman, who was quite hot, but sadly she was too young… Otherwise, I might had asked for her number (since I had some funny jokes there – hehe).

But this took the whole day (from 7:40 leaving at home, to 17:00 arriving back at home again).

At home, PC time -> dinner -> more PC time -> shower -> now I’m here writing (to) you.
Also, today I put twitch into the list of blocked sites, so from now on, we (I) expect less PC time from me.

That’s about all for the last two days. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!

Hi! Today was kinda weird. I woke up -> PC time -> lunch -> was tired -> went back to sleep -> woke up again at 17:00 -> working on bachelors thesis presentation -> dinner.

After dinner, Jordan and I worked a bit on our car. We thought, we had everything, to re-install the fuel-pump (we didn’t). So TOMORROW, we’re gonna go to a shop, and buy some short tube for the connection between the fuel-pump and fuel-filter.

Then, I spent some more time no my PC & bachelors thesis. -> Shower -> now I’m here – at 4 in the morning. Time did really pass by quickly lol. But since I slept quite a lot during the day, I guess, it’s not gonna be too bad tomorrow.

That’s it for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care & Bye-Bye!
