End of term...
...is a lot less stressful here than at UC, mostly because not all courses have exams here, and none have term papers. Still, the end always feels nice, since course-related obligations are lifted, if only temporarily. In this case, though, even that effect is weakened, as I will still be typing lecture notes for QFT for a while.
Today, I got my first Schein, i.e. certificate, for the statistical mechanics course I've been following. It stated my grade, my rank in the entire class, who had been teaching the course, what the grade was based on, how it was calculated (by rank, which I still think is a stupid system), and featured signatures of both teacher and tutor. What it did not mention, however, was the number of ECTS points it was worth. So I asked the secretary of the exchange students' contact person about it, who told me to ask the secretary of the institute, who phoned someone else, who said that we should just write the number of points on the certificate by hand. Apparently, Germans sometimes get tired of their bureaucracy as well...
My plans for the near future are as follows: this Sunday, I'm going back to Holland for a while. I will be around Utrecht, typing QFT lecture notes, bringing my dad's and my own administration up to date, and learning to drive, until at least the 14th of March, since I have my driving exam then. After that I don't know yet.

Plans for the near future... well, maybe I should post mine from time to time as well. To confuse people.
Is it an exclusive list of your plans, by the way?
It might be interesting to see what your life would look like if you did make plans and stick to them...:p.
Exclusive? Well, I have other plans as well, but decided not to bother everyone with them. This was more of a warning, that people at any rate shouldn't go looking for me in Heidelberg between 11-02 and 14-03.
