Yesterday I planned to take the whole day to write the project description, but while I wrote up some ideas I was just too good at procrastinating to get anything meaningful done over the day. Then while eating dinner I got this feeling that I had to get out, to experience something, to not be holed up in my flat any longer (even though I have not been this much out of my flat over the course of the week in a loooong time). So I looked up what was going on in the city and the stars had aligned, finally there was something happening on the day that I checked! I am not even into Mozart or Haydn or J.C. Bach but for 100kr and even more procrastination time I couldn't say no! So I left my dinner and hurried there and it was nice listening to a live performance of an orchestra again, even though I have to admit that I hoped to like it more, but well...

I also have never been to a concert hall before, so that has been interesting as well. The acoustics were somewhat unusual for me, but then, it also has been ages since I was at a live performance that included live music of any kind and it might also be that I am not used to the size of the venue.

But why are all the noisy people always in my vicinity? TT_TT

After that, I got 242 bad words done for the project description, but this morning I got up "early" to get something that is quite close to what I can see myself handing in. The optimistic professor also offered to read my description, and I did not want to ruin his weekend too much, so I set myself this deadline of today at 12.

Also he send me his reference for me, which I totally did not expect, since everyone else always sent it directly to the grad school thing. I nearly asked him to fill it in realistically again, it's so fucking good TT_TT, like, I cannot imagine a way that it could have been more positive! I would be suspicious if I received a reference like that. Perhaps I should have told him that I am also asking to other profs for a reference...

Didn't go too bad! I think I did not make a total fool out of myself, so for my standards it went kinda well. But I should also apply to some companies after this and what I should have done half a year ago is sign up for unemployment insurance. Fuck.

Whatever, this project seems really fucking cool so I guess I gotta write a damn good project description and highlight why math is important for it.

I just was at a talk with a prof to get some feedback for my essay for the philosophy of science from three months ago. It really paid off for me!

For one, because I learned that I actually got a 12 instead of a 10 from him (even though I had a major fuck-up and a couple of minor ones), the 10 as end result was because it was weighted in favor of the first essay?? Weird, but ok!

But more importantly, I seized the moment to ask him questions about the PhD position that is offered at the institute (by someone else, not him), like if he would think that I would be able to do that and that I had a chance. And he was pretty optimistic! He even offered to read my application and write a reference.

So now I need some career advice. The PhD is about the ethics of AI, so like a *super* hot topic right now. It is really interesting (and complex, it seems to me......), but do I want to spend my days reading a shit ton and watch my mind eat itself trying to solve some crazy contradictions or evaluate opposing positions? Or should I stick to math, where I am really not that good either and probably don't have a good chance to even get a PhD position? I don't know man!

Uh so we are going to meet tomorrow. I have to teach myself to not say stupid shit really quickly now. Also it seems like I have to write a research proposal. How does one even do this, without knowing anything of substance about the topic? Guess I'll figure that out rather fast as well, because I really want this now.

Noooo the prof hasn't answered my answer about when to meet. So I guess I'm gonna show up at his office in the morning and ask him if it's okay for him to meet after my thesis meeting with my supervisor and if that isn't okay, then I'll just have it early. I hope he is just busy and did not mind my answer lol.

Birthdays are great because you don't have to worry about breakfast lunch the day after! We went bouldering because 3 of the 4 people I invited I go with regularly already and the other just tried it out and was keen to go again. It was really damn nice, and I noticed that I must have gotten pretty strong compared to the start. I am back at climbing the third level (which is V1 in the official categories lol) again and giving fourth level ones an honest try, ha!

Also I am a bit closer to a camera. I think I want to go for the Canon EOS 90D if I can find a good deal on it somewhere. But I am not too set on it, I am just too lazy to research more on it as long as I don't have enough money anyways. (Or well, I would have enough money, but I also want to keep myself from touching that. I don't know how long it will take me to get a job...)

Earlier this week, I really thought I had a nice way of proving something for my thesis. Like I showed that two methods give the same matrices and had to show that I am allowed to use one of the methods, which I did, only to notice in my final check that I had made a mistake when showing that they give the same matrices. Whyyyyyy TT_TT Why is it always wrong when it is working? So I guess now I am off to calculating determinants or something. After I had a bit more of the brownies.

Finally 20 pages! And exactly 2 months left, ooops. I need to speed up. But regardless, I am glad to finally have these 20 pages. And I finally typed up the shitty technical algebra/ring theory stuff, so tomorrow I can move on to more interesting stuff.

The last two weeks have been less than ideal (ha, ideal), but I am going to make next week go better! I will eat healthier shit so my nosebleeds go away and I will go climb more often because it will make me feel better and I will clean up my flat before it is a total disaster again, huh! (And perhaps write at least five more pages, even though I have no idea from where I should take those.)

Recently I have been thinking about buying a new camera. The one I am using currently is from 2005 and has 8MP, 3456 × 2304px image size and ISO up to 1600 (but you don't even want to use 800 anymore...). So it's like not the best. While I really would like to have a bigger image size, my main issue is just that the battery only lasts for like 50ish images in a row - out of the 115 I could take, another issue. I could buy a new battery but that would cost me 20€ and these 20€ I could save for a new camera already.

But I am a bit unsure whether I really should implement a five-year-plan to save up for a really good one like I intended because in the end, it's not up to the gear whether you take good pictures or not. But perhaps it is a little bit, y'know? Like perhaps I could actually use the auto focus or a higher ISO without my battery dying even faster or crop the picture some more without being left with a thumbnail...

Then I thought that perhaps I should rather look for a used camera because that's cheaper so I could have it earlier, and also I will probably never be on a level where it pays off to have an insanely good camera. But I don't really know how old it should be at most to still make sense to buy.

And then lastly, I notice that the one extra lens I have takes way better pictures already than the kit lens that I am using most of the time, which makes sense. Unfortunately the better lens is more for stuff far away or something. But it gave me the thought to perhaps buy a new lens first and then a new camera later. While that would not solve my battery issues, I might have better results already and I could still use it later for when I have a newer camera.

If you are a photographer and have some advice, please share it! Please vote for what you would do, even if you are not a photographer! (I guess the poll still has more options than there will be votes in the end but I had to try.)
