-It's becoming a tradition that we're going on an additional trip to Denmark with my friends in winter, in addition to the summer trip. This time, we stayed over New Year's. I've been spending that time with friends anyway in the past decade or longer, but being on vacation in a nice little house with a bunch of friends makes it even better. Admittedly, there was some alcohol involved on New Year's Eve, but I still had a really good start into the new year. Some friends and I went for a dip into the cold ocean on January 1st. We also did a bunch of other fun things on that day, including Mario Kart, Terraforming Mars, sauna and hot tub, and Unfair. During the Denmark trip, we also went to a local bouldering gym with a small group, which was a first for us I think.

 At this point, I had decided with Johanna and Helmut that I would quit my job in Göttingen and move in with them to Norway in January 2025. September, but particularly the last quarter of the year, consisted of lots of planning and preparation for that. At first, the plan was to first move in with them and then figure out what to do (i.e. find a job, I guess). However, I was already scouting job postings in September and applied for a *single job* at the end of September. At my previous job, I was a full-stack web developer, using Vue.js for the frontend part, and for that job posting, they were specifically looking for someone with Vue.js experience. I got a call from them a few days after submitting my application online, and an invitiation for an in-person interview in October (when I planned to be in Norway anyway... yes I know). It sounded very promising.
 
-In early October, another incident hit my family. My mom had a ruptured aneurysm in her brain and had to get emergency surgery, and didn't fully wake back up. I wrote in detail about it in [this post](TODO). As I said in the beginning of this post, in some ways it was the worst year of my life. The death of my grandma, and even more so this incident with my mom, were the main contributors to that. I received lots of emotional support from my friends, and I was able to deal with the situation fairly well, considering the circumstances. But it was still tough, among the toughest things I remember in my whole life.
