Believe it or not, but I've never known about GoogleBooks *amazed*. It's pretty neat!
What is your paper for? I'm currently working at one (well, actually, staring at the Word-Doc ;)) for a seminar in linguistics.

Being a student is so much fun sometimes o.O
Dude! You can say that again ;)!

Hehe, it certainly is. Especially if you look for something in an 300-pages book and just put up a query and it automatically skips to the parts that are relevant.

LOL, it's oddly comforting to know you're faced with the same problems^^ Even the subject is close. What are you studying and where, if I may ask :)
Said paper is for an 18th/19th century English seminar and I really need the Schein ;)

Wow, that is really... fantastic. Must find a reason to use it.

and I really need the Schein
Oh, don't we all?? Le sigh.
It's actually not a tough paper to do but it's so... so annoying. I really could have done this weeks ago. As usual ;).

I study linguistics (Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft), english ;) and italian. Magister and in Münster ;) What about you? I'm - sigh - in my 11th semester. Hopefully I'll start with my Magister-paper soon.

I like searching random stuff Well, how about something Supernatural related such as the Lesser Key of Solomon? It's an incomplete preview though, but it has nice illustrations^^

*laughs* Exactly! Everytime, I tell myself I just have to sit down and get started but then I think I still have 20 days left to do it and *bits fist* It's no use, seriously.

Oh cool, do you know a potential subject for your Magister paper already? There depends so much on that being well chosen *is scared*
I'm right with you on ASW and English (7th semester in April), though I have to pass Italien (beautiful language though). My second minor is Phonetics which, as rediculously as it sounds, I probably like the most o.O

Wow, thanks for the heads up, that was fun to read up on :)!

Wow, you're doing ASW as well! That's awesome :)! It's always so hard to explain to people what it really is! Phonetics must be really hard but if you like it's probably very interesting. Where do you study?

I don't know my subject yet, I have still to find me a professor who supervises it. I probably know more in April, our linguistic-department has a few problems staff-wise and in April there'll be two new profs (hopefully). though I'd like to do something about bilingualism. That's the skinny on it :)
I'm still thrilled you're doing ASW and English as well. Great minds think alike :)!

Bin mal faul^^ Hab auch erst zweimal geschaut ob ich auch richtig gelesen hatte, ASW ist ja nicht grad so der Massenstudiengang (zumindest hier in Köln) sondern hat immer diese schöne heimelige Atmosphäre :)

It's always so hard to explain to people what it really is!
Ich glaube selbst meine Eltern können sich darunter nix vernüftiges vorstellen, na ja, als ich mich einschrieb, hatte ich mir auch etwas anderes vorgestellt und war dann umso positiver überrascht was sich wirklich dahinter verbarg. In einem sehr unterhaltsamen und witzigen Song haben das übrigens ein paar Studis von der SFU in British Colombia verpackt: Everybody gettin down all morphologilistic herrlich ( ... )

I auch ;P.

Hier in MS sind wir auch gaaaanz klein ;), deswegen haben wir auch gerade Probleme mit unseren Profs. Entweder die sind zu alt oder gehen weg. Ich wollte ASW eigentlich auch nur als Übergang studieren, weil ich einfach kein drittes Fach finden konnte und jetzt ist es mein Hauptfach ;)

Phonetik ist bestimmt viel lustiger, wenn man erstmal die einführung hinter sich hat! Ich hab das in allen meinen drei Fächern gemacht und sogar mal ein ganzes Seminar darüber, aber so richtig warm werden konnte ich damit nicht ;) Dazu sind wir hier aber auch zu steinzeitlich traditionell, um über die Phontiktabelle hinauszugehen ;).
Heh, danke für den link, der song ist ja echt witzig!
