I just cought myself thinking “well, actually it IS cold and I could turn the heating on a bit more.. but on the other hand: The cpu dissipates heat through the keyboard where my fingers are, the power converter and the harddrive produce heat where my wrists rest… it really could be worse.” ;)

Passively cooled laptops do have a lot of advantages. Especially in winter! :P

I am still studying for my exams, so far I have done four and two more are to come. This time I really fell into the rhythm, it seems. I get up at seven, start studying or working at eight and try to read as much as possible to pass the exams. I hope I can carry this motivation into the next semester and do a bit more before the exams next time, preventing another study-marathon next time.

On the other side, this permanent stress makes me unbalanced and even more chaotic as I phase out more and more “not so relevant” things to concentrate better on studying. This involves not paying bills, not talking to Anna, not keeping appointments (which in turn creates yet more bills – Anna was quite mad at me after paying 20 Euro for not appearing at the dentist and 36 Euro for not paying the tax for my motorcycle again)

At least I am making progress and I finally believe in what I am doing.
