So, a gazillion years 4 months ago I asked you guys for your help because I needed people to fill out an online questionnaire on a couple of silly stories. Well, the paper is written, handed in and gotten back with an A on it. So:

Thank you so much to everybody who participated and further advertised it! :D

As for the results... ummm... really, it's ( Read more... )

I got into NYU! :D

I'm not entirely sure that I will accept their "offer" as it comes without any funding whatsoever but this has been the most awesome news in a very long time! Soooo excited!

Today was the interview and it was... awkward. I'm so much more used to North-American small talk than German get-to-the-point-and-don't-waste-my-time-ness. I have no idea if the lady who interviewed me, my proposed supervisor, thinks I'm capable, smart or at least nice. And I won't know for sure before the end of May. However, they will have me ( Read more... )

Hey f-list!

Most of you know that I’m doing a minor in Linguistics. For this term I’m doing a project on... well, I wish I could tell you but that would ruin the purpose of my study. But I'll tell you later in case you're interested.

 I should tell you about all the amazing things I've seen in Singapore (and *oooh* Malaysia for one day) during these lest couple of days. And I will, with pics and all, once I get back home. And, ah, there's the rub. Home.

I got an e-mail from my proposed supervisor for next year, telling me that she does not get funding for me. Sadly, department ( Read more... )

With the my final grades for this year having come in (for the first time I cried out of happiness about my transcript ;)), now seems to be a good time to go to sleep for a few weeks. This was planned, has practical as well as personal reasons and I totally intend to be back once school starts again, i.e. early January. Knowing myself, I might be ( Read more... )

So I was chatting with my friend in preparation for next week's exam...

Alex: Do you know all the definitions for the midterm yet? It's sooo much. Synaptic transmission, psychophysics, specificity coding...
Jana: Yeah, I think I'm fairly okay with most of them...
Alex: I hate you... ^^ So...... what is specificity coding?
Jana: There was this concept ( Read more... )

It feels like ages that I’ve posted here for the last time. I “stopped” in mid-July which was, to be honest, a conscious and deliberate decision. My life became overwhelmed with school, so that I felt like I had to stop my social life, which not only includes real life friends (most of whom were on vacation anyway) but unfortunately also my cyber ( Read more... )
