Yes. I am, in fact, still alive.
So, yeah. I haven't updated since I sat in my exam for the first part of OC II. Well, apart from Christmas wishes.
By now I mostly finished my fourth semester, turned twenty, found a place for my internship this summer, still didn't get my grandma her birthday present (now almost six months overdue), didn't get any writing done (as evidenced by my ( Read more... )

next semester I have less lectures I need to go to. and it seems worse, because I'm doing more for my ABV than I'll actually need. We have 11 credit points for the ABV and by now I have 10, I think, and I'll get another extra for my internship. So, if I wanted to, I'd have almost nothing the last two semesters, but I want to do at least one lecture on something pharmaceutical next semester, and if I get lucky I'll manage to do one of the english classes. If I have the time. I don't think they'll be very happy if I'm missing half the classes, because I have to be in the lab.
Thanks. Though birthdays are more of blah thing for me. That reminds me that I've got to get my mum something. Hmm. *thinks*
I think that would be pandemic. Or maybe just poisoned plot bunnies. At least in my case. With all those chemicals I'm handling...
You know, I should probably do that. Though I'm still a bit miffed that we get so few icons.
You, too. And maybe we should get out the whips for that. To get the bunnies back in shape. *smirks*

well, I´m participating as one of the last three members standing in a pipster prompt-a-thon so I write at least somewhat regularly, but they´re only drabbles.
Somehow I lack the discipline to write soemthing bigger -.-
A whip, you say?
...Get writing, maggots *crack* to the pens, pencils and featherquills! *crack* to the keyboards and laptops! *crack* Write!

we have an average of sixty hours a week. you know, when you calculate with the credit points we gather.
as long as you get your classes done on time I wouldn't worry.
I tried to write a longer fic once. didn't work out. left it unfinished and it will probably stay that way. And I'm pretty sure I need someoen or something to poke me into writing, hence my joy at finding that nifty page.

Screw you, Bologna, that´s all I have to say -.-

the main problem about that is that they keep changing stuff....technically it shouldn´t affect us, but they still squeeze more and more stuff in. For example, we were told in the beginning that we could choose between US or UK Landeskunde....but now we have to do both.
Or, general pedagogy was supposed to be one modul with 1 lecture, 1 colloquium and 1 test. Suddenly, it´s two modules with 2 courses each + colloquium and two tests....although nobody told us on introduction days, it´s not in our guidebook (or rather, the wrong info is in there), there´s nothing on the page of the pedagogy faculty that mentions that you have to do twice the work and as opposed to psychology where they at least tried to help us, they just don´t tell us stuff and when we find out that something´s not right, they shrug and go "not my problem".

my problem is the transformation from the planning stage to the writing stage. I get plenty of plotbunnies, plan them, develop plots, scenes, but I don´t get any writing done -.-
I admire people who can just sit down, tell themself that they´re going to write now and then they write. Really, lots of people I know can do that, but I can´t -.- reeeeally frustrating -.-

Bologna didn't really have anything to do with the, ah, fullness of my schedule. That's just the fate of chemistry students. It's depending on the university. I knew that, when I applied. If I'd wanted to study for a Diplom I'd have gone to the other university.

That's the reason why the guy introducing chemistry at my university during the info days said it'd be advantageous to go to a university that's got the Bachelor/Master System in place for a while already. They've already got experience and found the biggest kinks. Another thing to watch for would've been student-friendliness.
Both those are the reasons I chose my university. (Btw I wanted the Bachelor/Master, which isn't really bad, if the people in charge aren't total dicks.)
And the changes really shouldn't affect you. If they do, you should be able to sue. I think. Don't take me up on it. You should be able to finish with the condidtions you started with. Like, if you started the Diplom, you didn't have to change to Bachelor/Master. Hmm, a reason to look up the Hochschulgesetz. Or ask someone at my university, who's also part of the Prüfungskomittee.
