Week 17 // 29.01. - 09.02.

Its time for a another review of my time spent last semester! I had semester with some quite small units, mostly preparing talks or things with just a single lecture peer week. The module “Anthropogenic accidents” had a super long lecture, so I can understand the most time going into it. And all in all, its just half of the time I used for full lectures in the last semesters.

This was the last week of the semester, and with that the last semester of me having lectures at all. Everything that is left now is my master thesis. I’m starting that in April, next week I meet up with my supervisors to talk about the topic and see what I can do in preparation.

This week I got sick again… I sadly had to cancel my talk because of that, its a bit sad all the preparation was for nothing now, but I still learned a lot during it, so its all fine. Also I’m not dependent on the credits, so I could just tell the professor we dont need to find another date in the semester break to repeat it. But I played a lot of Stardew Valley while sick and also read a lot, that was super nice!

Week 14 // 15.01. - 19.01.

I held the second of three presentations for this semester, and it went super well! The topic was superconductivity in a bit more advanced way, my supervisor and I chose the topic because it will fit very neatly into my master project I’m starting this summer. The next two weeks will be about finishing up my last presentation and all the things from my other modules and then enjoy two months of pretty much nothing going on!

It was so so cold here last week. I was back in Uni and at work after the winter holidays and need to now finish up the last things for the two talks I still need to do. It wont be super stressful over January, but I’m still looking forward to February and having basically nothing going on before I start my master’s thesis.

I really enjoyed the christmas break, I basically did nothing uni-related over the whole last 2 weeks. This weekend I’m starting to ramp up the work on my talks again, working through a lot of interesting physics (I get so much about superconductivity here!).

I had the first of my group seminar talks on Tuesday! It went super well, I really got amazing feedback. The talk was about a super interesting paper from July, a group at Harvard managed to design an experiment that produced anyons (those are particles that are neither fermions and bosons) with a freely adjustable statistical angle. I mostly went into the theory behind it (a paper from 2011 which is amazingly simple) and then some experimental results.

This week was all about preparing my presentations for the group seminar talks. It’s a lot of fun, really digging into some current papers, the science behind them and then trying to make a story out of that.

This week I was sick with Covid… In the beginning of the week it was quite bad, so I did not get around to do anything, but later in the week I already felt quite fine again, so I got to work through some content from Colemans book on superconductivity for one of my seminar talks.
