To all my comrades of glory and valor, salute

I am finally able to catch my breath a little after all the recent events. Tasks have followed each other one after another lately, and I thought I was going to be able to take a breather after the Moletai article was submitted. But apart from the exercises we have had from school, our RPG group are finally getting somewhere. Our background stories are more or less done which binds the group together and leads us into our future adventures. I am looking forward to see how Ernja might develop, she already is a marvelous little creature. This weekend we are hopefully going to have our first meeting with the real group, the time for learning and observing is over, and now the real fun starts.

What has mostly bothered me in the past days now has been the PBLs (Problem-based learning), which means we sit in groups and solve a couple questions together and then individually write and submit a report about our solutions and answers. Today I handed in the last one for now, this week there won't be any new ones but they will come next week instead.
Until then I only have to start looking at articles for the coming project we have in our astrophysics course. There we were given a topic and some questions to answer, now we are to start looking for resources to answer these questions and present them on friday, and in the end hold a lecture about the topic for the others in the class. It will be a challenge, but I was given an interesting topic at least, "Supermassive black holes". I will talk about some really heavy stuff, and you're dying to listen to it!

On a last note I have left my big family on the internet. For many years now (with some breaks now and then) I have been playing a internet-based strategy game named "Utopia", and for a couple of years I have played together with a group of people. Now part of us are leaving utopia, some staying with the some newcomers to the group, but some looking around for a new home as well. This group has been a second family to me, and I feel sorry to leave them. But all great things has to come to an end, so I will instead of mourning this be happy about the experience and joy the time has brought me. I will keep in contact with them though so my family has not gone lost anyhow, it will just feel like when you move from home from your real family, it feels empty although they are still there.

But rest assure anyhow, I will use this day to take a big breather, and then get back on the working sadle in the morning. Friday and Sunday are proposed dates for the ALVA trip to the Oxie observatory, and today's forecast says the weather on Friday will be good. We will see how that goes, on thursday I have the visual observation laboratory exercise also and that depends on good weather as well.

Ah well, to make use of my free time and relax.
