So it's official.

A lot of things have happened since my last post. I remember that while writing the last post some two weeks ago, I had a lot on my plate, especially some difficult decisions to make. Some of the things have been resolved now, to my unending and still very much exhilarating exuberance I have accepted a place in the Algant course, about which most of you must have heard from me - I was only talking about it all the time when I mentioned my future plans. So, next year Regensburg, the year after that Leiden again <3 And after that, who knows? Any suggestions? There are so many things one can do. Unfortunately, no Cambridge. Not yet.

I have been very lucky recently. So many good things have happened to me or to people around me, such as the discovery of this beautiful handout

which I simply need to share, though I have shared it with some of you already. Its only drawback is that I got distracted and started reading Cassels, which is unbelievable and amazing and surpasses the source. Well, I guess that happens. And I am quite happy with my Cassels (horrified I have realised that I should have been at a party now, sorry guys, too many things happening)...

Or the rediscovery of Kummer theory which I've finally understood in a satisfactory way, mostly due to the fact that I have finally seen it in its full beauty, in action (personal note: thank you!). I have spent a lot of time talking to various people about life, world and mathematics and (re)discovered many strange but appealing things. I finished the first chapter of my thesis and did some useful work on the following ones, so even in this aspect I am progressing.

However, not everything has been as positive as this account may sound, in short, I have freed up much more time in my life for mathematics than I would have preferred to have. Anyway, now when it's here, what else could I do but to do my best with it? Also, I can finally play with my jigsaw Rembrandt. And that is fun.

And as for Leiden - the spring has begun (as all of you certainly know). It's almost long-sleeve only weather outside and when it gets sunny, one can jog in shorts. It is so pleasant to live here. Basically, the only day, when it was ugly and overcast, was yesterday - during the eclipse. Well, well, well. At least I was able to work most of the day!

How I look forward to all the beautiful things waiting for me! My summer will be beautiful and it is still only forming... Well, basically, I knew that even before, because why wouldn't it be beautiful? Come on, guys. It's the same as with what people say about Holland - why would you want it to rain all the time? See how lovely the weather is when you stop wishing for such stupid things? BTW, anyone who would like to join me in my summer?

In any case, wish me luck. Luck is always useful and it looks like there are some difficult days waiting for me now.
