No bromeo, soy alemán

Old sins always come back, they say. One of them caught me now. My own course. Today started the new quarter for me with a new course: decision analysis 1, a course that I visited myself last year. At least from time to time. I remember the laborations were pretty cool, because I worked with Basti. But the lessons I can hardly remember. I think, I remember slides I did not really understand, but the satisfaction always followed during the laborations when a given problem brought sense to theories. But now I have to hold those lessons by myself. Hardly content to tell. As far as I remember, the first 10 minutes in the last year courses (not only decision analysis) were necessary for getting a projector working with a laptop. Because I am annoyed by wasting time with computer problems, I am using the whiteboard since the first lecture. The students have to suffer from my handwriting, but at least they only get what's necessary - I think. So today started a power-course with 3 students. Because the lectures are so short I made two in one today and we have been still finished after already 30 minutes. Therefore, the next lecture is free. I would not have felt well for asking them to come for so less content on next Monday morning again. And I can use the time more effectively, too.
And I got another idea. While preparing the lectures I realized, that I can learn a lot from this years laborations for my thesis according what is possible to solve with the decision tool I work with. If you are interested, check the demo of DecideIT here: http://www.preference.nu
Now I am free for almost two weeks. Thesis time. It goes quite well, I think. Except that my thesis is still not registered. I swear the next thesis will be right next to the bureaucratic source responsible for my case. But I am modelling and drawing trees. And sometimes I write even a page. And my TODO-list grows more than it shrinks. More and more small ideas come up how to get the thesis a little bit more reliable.

Mit der Schreibtischlampe willst du mich aber neidisch machen, was? Haha, aber das schaffst du sooo leicht nicht. Wenn sie rot wäre vielleicht... aber so nicht
