(Oh well, "invest in experiences" says the happiness research. And remember Dunning-Kruger, of course. I feel totally inadequate, but maybe I just don't have any good reference points, and this will turn out to be a lot of fun, and I won't be the only incompetent idiot among geniuses. (Self-reported LW IQ average is 145, after all.) But maybe I'm just panicking because I have no idea what awaits me. Only one way to find out.)

I'm coming. I might arrive a bit early due to the train connection, but who knows. In case anyone is traveling Karlsruhe -> Stuttgart -> Ulm -> München by train, I have a Wochenend-Ticket and can probably include you for free. I'll have to leave around 20:30 or I'm stuck somewhere in the Bavarian woods for the rest of the weekend.

See you then!

(Worst case, I'll read a couple of books on the train, buy an over-priced chai and crash at the college library. I've made worse decisions. Don't be so insecure.)
