Last day of math workshop, leaving Copenhagen soon

Today is the last day of the Math workshop.
The morning lectures sped up somewhere around Wednesday and the afternoon lectures have been entirely incomprehensible (I don't have a 1 year background in Algebraic Geometry).

This has been good and bad for my ego. I can answer some questions that are asked in the workshop and I can answer some questions other people have, but I really haven´t been doing math my whole life and meeting people who have is intimidating.




This has been like a flashback to first year of gradschool for most people, I think. The math is hard, and fast, and we're all unsure if it is okay to ask questions or not, leaving the question-asking to those people who are confident, arrogant, or who have already seen the material. People are quietly spread out over the auditorium, some skulking in the back where it is hard to hear and see the lecturer, but it removes you from the potential scrutiny of other grad students. Some sitting right up in front where you can almost pretend there isn't a veritable sea of talented grad students at your back.





I am very tired. Two of my roommates are checking out today, so it will be quieter tonight to sleep, which will be nice. I am probably going on a boat trip tomorrow, unless I really want to get up early, stop in Hamburg and mostly just use Bremen for sleeping and early morning traipsing (which is plausible. I will look at my options today).

I managed to only spend about 5 USD yesterday. I will make up for it and then some today I think.


Danish Keyboards
A lot of the normal US special characters like / and < and > are reorganized. One reorganization I really like is that < and > are on the same key, and one is shift + that key. One thing I don'like is that the normal location of 'is replaced by ø, which ends up with typos like "donøt" for "don´t".
