I haven't really had the time to work in more details on the Star Lord post, to be honest. Ha.

Anyway, I'm starting to get my overdue assignments in order, and my thesis process is going along at a decent pace. The only thing I have to worry about now is finding a place where I could do my practical training this spring. I'm going to try to get it into the same place where my thesis is based in, so I could maybe work on that during practical training as well (or, actually, building the material our thesis will be examining could literally be my practical training. It all depends on what they'd want me to do, really).

I went to see Big Hero 6 with my friends last weekend, and I enjoyed it a lot. I was cracking up so much during the film, you wouldn't believe it. Baymax is the best. I also, like my friend put it, developed a pretty unhealthy attachment to Tadashi's character. Oh dearie. Anyway, I'm not going to spoil the entire film here (since it's such a recent release here, even though it came out in the US in ... November, I think?), but I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys animated films.

I think getting major worries through even minor milestones really helps my motivation. I don't feel so hopeless now that I've dealt with most of the yet-to-be-completed study modules or I have a plan for how I'm going to deal with them. The only problem at this point is that I can't seem to get in contact with one of the teachers who graded one of the assignments I got back with a "needs to be improved" comment. Eugh. Well, it's just one assignment and I got the green light to deal with it this spring.

Whatever the event may be, I usually end up coordinating at least some of it. Group assignments, movie nights... etc. I don't really mind, I enjoy it. I think I also have kind of a knack for doing the organising. I might not have the most new or innovative views on what methods to use for the most remarkable outcome, but I do get shit done. There is not one group assignment that has been handed in late - because of my lack of doing it within a proper time frame, at least. I'm pretty happy about that. Although it seems like even the most sloppy students in my "class" really pull themselves together for group assignments, since no one wants to let other people down. I figure that's a pretty good view of it: you can fuck up your own studies as much as you want by missing deadlines on personal assignments, but if you do that with group work I'm going to cut a bitch.

Well, this has been a spectacularly rambling post. I'll be off now.

Bye!
