theorems about SET or even new variants.

Finally, I will leave you with a puzzle. Figure 10 contains exactly six SETs. Can you find all of them? Have fun with SET!

Text: Jeroen Fränzel The life behind the screens. This would be my way to describe my experience so far of the university. All day sitting behind the desk, reading the books, listening to online lectures, trying to keep up with all and try to enjoy yourself with the little things we have left in our daily routine. I must also say, I do not feel so lonely anymore. I have found my place. But is this place, behind the computer, the place I want to be? The last three quarters of a year have been rough, and we had to adjust. Some periods were better than others, but I got through it. Now I am here, sitting behind that screen and writing about my experience of this school year. Let me recap, the first module. What an exciting time, starting at a new place to learn what I wanted for a long time. Luckily, I was handed some days at the university and took them with pleasure. The second module was less on campus and more online. The dreaded time has come, as higher year students had warned me about. And it was rough: too much work, too little enjoyments. But I made friends, talked a lot with them online, played games and tried to stay positive. The third module was really something different. Again, others had warned me, but you never fully know what they are talking about. This whole new way of thinking was a lot harder than anticipated. Still, with help of friends, family (of course also from my amazing girlfriend), organized activities and the study advisor I can get through this period.

I still enjoy the study, not to worry, and I learnt to enjoy it behind a screen.
