Da~
Feels like I haven't written in ages.. and it's been only around three weeks.
So, in Austria we had this personality camp with high rope course (Hochseilgarten), getting over a gorge and walking through the mountains; quite a nice experience and we learned a lot about each other.
Then two weeks of working on presentations and other projects; after a while it got boring but I had a full time schedule anyway. And on the weekends I meet my fellow students and we hung out together. Which was fun~ of course, what else is there to do..? It always beats sitting alone in your dorm room.
The only fault my new friends have is, that they think, that most applied science students are freaks. As in geeks or nerds who like playing video games and so on. Too bad I'm one too and that I have the urge to protect them. When this first came up I wore one of my gaming shirts to protest.. after that it got better. But they are okay after all and it's nice to be with them.
This weekend, I'm at home. At home as in Dortmund-home. I had "forced" vacations and so some of us NRW-students went home by car.. which was so much more cheaper than by train. So I took my chance to relax and to meet friends here. As expected, here and there, there are gaps developing. Not everywhere, but at some places. Hanging around doesn't feel the same anymore, just like after my exchange year. Well, I was actually expecting that and of course I don't know how to fix that. These are the times when I'm feeling a bit pessimistic.
Otherwise, I'm feeling fine.. don't know how I'll manage the JLPT coming December, but at least all my other exams are two weeks after that exam. Too much to learn, too little time... T__T;;
And as far as I can see, I'll be in Japan at the end of next June.. BUT I have this urge to go to Scandinavia (Oslo or Stockholm) at the end of January.. the number of people who are going is not yet decided, da~
