Been busy, mood also went up and down ( Read more... )

Trying to write something. It's not working, so I thought I'd blog.

/procrastination ahoy/

Yesterday I went with a friend to see Die Mausefalle, the Berliner Kriminal Theater version of Agatha Christies über-classic The Mouse Trap. Because I am a Christie n00b and also never remember the plot of crime stories unless I read them like twenty times ( Read more... )

So, after a week of utter bumming around and hardly lifting a finger except when in the pool (yes, I have started to swim a bit again) I decided that my break from the world was over and that I'd better start doing stuff again. Among those stuffs, alas, I count my two 12-page essays ( Read more... )

In Germany, they're in the process of switching out the federal president, after the old one got caught in a severe scandal. There was a lot of media hounding but, from what I've heard from sensible people, also very reasonable complaints against him and illegal stuff and whatnot. Election for the next president is coming up, though from what I can ( Read more... )

There are so many amazing shows, plays, concerts and events in Berlin. If I had the money and the time, I could go out every night and enjoy something, and I think I could spend more than a year doing that without ever having to repeat myself ( Read more... )

Had my first and, if I may hope so quite muchly, last written exam in German. 90 minutes of stress - Grammar? Spelling? Hah, who has time for THAT when I'm trying to get down my thoughts for the four essay questions one of which asks about a topic from a lecture I completely missed so I'm pulling out all my random knowledge and ( Read more... )

So I just had my first ever verbal examination.* I also had the lovely experience of something like my second ever pre-exam nausea. Didn't sick up or anything, but a bit of dizzyness, general omfg-this-is-bad-feelings from the tummy and so on. Yeaaah, I could've skipped that part. Luckily enough (?) it appeared about an hour before the actual exam ( Read more... )

And after faaaaar to many years, I am going back to Animagic the (afaik) largest anime con in Germany. It'll be the very last thing I do here, since the con runs 27th-29th of July, and I have to be back at work the first of August. Not too shabby a way to say ~auf wiedersehen, Deutschland ^___^

And I'll be joined by setsuna_jiba, whoooo \o ( Read more... )

It's been a while, but I'd like to try and document my theatre visits, so here goes nothing...

In the cyborg seminar, we had a text by René Pollesch, the very opaque www-slums, and in connection with this we went to see a play by him: Schmeiß Dein Ego weg! (Throw your ego away!), which was also quite difficult to grasp but at least there were some ( Read more... )

We had snow! It's not much left now, but the cold is definitely here. This means I really should get out and buy more warm sweaters (lost one during my Christmas vacation, one is frankly fugly from age and the other two get used a bit much) but since I hate shopping, I've so far only managed to grab yet another Die Ärzte sweater from the fan-merch ( Read more... )
