Astrid is gone

La meva companya de pràctiques en les assignatures del màster que faig com a optatives m'ha abandonat. No és que sigui res personal: ha decidit deixar el màster i tornar cap a Alemanya. Com que ella era de la branca de fotònica, ha trobat molt difícils la majoria d'assignatures. No va durar ni una setmana que ja va deixar la majoria d'assignatures, i tan sols es va quedar amb les dues que feia amb mi. Una setmana més agobiada per treballs i presentacions - reconec que van molt forts - ha servit per acabar-la d'enfonsar. No ha volgut fer cas dels meus consells de prendre's un any sabàtic a Barcelona. Dijous va venir a acomiadar-se de mi i el seu amic Martin - un paio genial, algun dia parlaré d'ell -, i ens va regalar un llibre i un porta-CDs. Em sap greu que marxi, però què hi farem...

My mate in the two laboratory subjects I do from an international master - no, I'm not doing the master itself, I just chose them like normal subjects - has left me. Don't worry, it's nothing personal, but she has decided to quit the master and head back to Germany. As she was more of the Photonics branch, she found it somewhat difficult to cope with the master subjects. She tried to rearrange the timetable after the first week, but even then she was overwhelmed with projects and assignments. She refused to take a free year. On Thursday she came to say good-bye to me and her friend Martin - a great guy - and he gaved each one of us a little present: a book and a CD carrier. It's sad to see her leave, but that's life...
