Hello again!

It has been simply ages since I have written! I do miss it but at the moment, I'm up to my eyes in research for my bachelor's thesis, which, being in the field of algebra, means that I'm staring at piles and piles of things that look like this:

Algebraic nonsense. No, not nonsense. Just a lot of g's and f's and h's...

Still, I've hit a very productive stride the last few days and I am thoroughly enjoying it.  Much better than the blank panic I felt before!

Also, in my last few days of working at odd hours, I have been struck by something I don't think we hear about a lot - and that is the kindness of the internet. Oh yes, there's also the awful, mean underbelly of the world wide web- demons haunting the comments section, cyber bullying and much much more - but there are some nice corners, too. Some things that just make one realize how thoughtful we homo sapiens can be.

Imagine, lying in a bed and being unable to sleep - plagued by worries. Google for thirty seconds and find instructions on breathing to help you relax, or (a favorite of many people) old, familiar videos that might make you forget your worries - or, what I consider the most thoughtful of all -- someone who has uploaded a youtube video that consists solely of 45 minutes of the sound of rain falling, since apparently I'm not the only one in the world who loves falling asleep to the sound of rain. Also, of course, the typical databases of recipes - for everything from quinoa-banana-chocolate muffins (I've made three batches) to your own shampoo (using rye flour? I tried it this morning. I'll see how my hair is this afternoon!). It's just a cool place, a lot of the time.

Alright.

Back to those g's and f's and h's.
