I am back in Heidelberg and functioning at 120%. No other option left if I want to have a first draft of my thesis by the end of june. I joined hubski just after finishing my masters thesis, time flies.

Last saturday, good friends celebrated their double birthday and I made ceremonial grad cacao. This is probably my favorite non-alcoholic drink (next to Khat/Qat juice) for parties. It is stimulating but still nice. Too much of it will fuck up your stomach though!

The friends that celebrated are musicians that sing in a 2-person-ban together. They also invited some of our musician friends and we ended up having a 2.5 hour long concert with them alternating. One of our friends is exceptionally talented (probably the best singer/singwriter I know in person). She sang one of her favorites and it was one of those magical moments where everyone in the room is absorbed by the intensity of it.

I just found out she has a recorded version of it on bandcamp, give it a listen! :)

Apart from that I am worried that my candle will burn out before the end of the tunnel. The longest I was able to sustain this mode of work was 3 months. Back then, I was smoking weed daily to cope. This time I don't smoke, I am single, and I am not allowed to do sports after my ACL surgery...

Any suggestions how to balance this out better?
