Only silence remains

Yes, a lot of time has passed and a lot of things have happened. The intense study period has passed and I sit here now once again calm, relax and with all the time in the world on me. The previous 2 weeks were especially stressful, but today I got the results from at least one of the courses, 6p from the highest grade out of 100. I will have a meeting with the lecturer later this week and discuss my points, although I highly doubt it I at least hope there is a slight chance I can gather enough points for it.
The two new courses has already begun, one of them is concentrated on probability and statistics in astronomy work and one on dynamical studies. They seem interesting so far and especially have a slower pace than the previous two courses.
In between all the work I have also applied for the courses of next term, and decided my list for projects of interest for the masters. It will be about 1½ week before I know what project I get, but I selected one regarding planetary collisions, one on parallax measurements for the upcoming GAIA satellite and also intensity interferometer measurements for different detectors.
We have had one meeting with the roleplaying group, but because of the amount of work lately with school we have not had time for any more and it seems we are all swamped with things to do in the near future. Hopefully we get some time for it, but at least we are gonna play some boardgames as we all do not have to be present for that. One game especially that we have picked up again is good old Magic, the old card game from the 90's.
Life is grand.
