Hello dear readers and watchers,

I have not much to say - at least at the time being. I'm waiting for my roomie to spend some time for me; or maybe better said for my tin miniatures. He's the one with a good camera and the sufficient skills to photograph those tiny figurines. I just suck at doing macro shots with my Exilim.

New year is blinking up at the horizon. So I'm in the preperations for the upcoming superduperevent of the year (at least for me). As the last eight years, I'm celebrating new years eve and some more days at a monastery a stones throw away from here. This year the overall theme will be "light" - there's no catchy title for that by now, but I'm pretty sure it will come when it's time. Or maybe your mind just flipped and you got *the* header for that event? Just notify me.

Oh, and I am now an english apprentice at my university. We have to hear a lecture called "technical english" which is mostly about making conversation and talking about technical stuff related to companies and computers. We've got an introducing test which determines to what lecture (beginners, intermediate, advanced and professionals) we have to attend to. The pro's don't need any lecture, and I failed that, which means I am at the advanced course - as the only student. Yah, no-one else there except me and my teacher. *lol* That's one-on-one training for me, which is quite nice. Learning to speak fluently was always my biggest deficit. So I'll have lectures one and a half hours every week for thirteen weeks now. I really is quite fun - and oh soooo exhausting. I don't have that huge active vocabulary when it comes to really having oral conversation, but it will increase now (at least I hope so ).

So, life's full of triumph at the moment. Don't have time for anything else (but that happens to be quite normal by now -.-). Let's see how long it lasts.

Yatta, yatta, yatta. Uh, well. There's so much to learn for exams and so little time. I can't get my ass up to learning properly, though I do some stuff every day. But not enough, tells me my bad conscience. Oh, well. At least I - once again - rediscovered Anarchy Online for me. Purrfect in the exams-time. Hum ... no. Not really. But I love it so much. And at the evening hours when there's nothing more to learn, I just let my soul dangle from the rooftop and share a good time of play with my friends.
And poppa bear is ill (thats my boyfriend - what are ye thinkin'?? ). So that's the other field I tend to.
Nevertheless I am so wacking out for the upcoming weekend next week - a good friend from the UK is coming around. And we will have soooo much fun; I hope. I'm sooo excited to acually finally meet him, for we know each other for four to five years now and talked and chatted, but never met, although he is often in Germany for furry stuffs.
So, not so boring, much to do. And hopefully all exams will go well.

No time to make *any* art-stuffies. Just working and learning all the time. Really time consuming studies atm. Buuuut I finally managed to watch X-Men Origins and Star Trek at cinema. And I have to say: those are the fucking best movies I have seen in ages (besides Operation Valkyrie is a good one too, even if you don't like Tom Cruise).
Last wednesday I went to the university film club to watch the "Baader-Meinhof-Komplex", which was quite good as well. Only thing is, that if you don't have any idea of the 70's in Germany, you just won't get the idea and intention of that movie. And I can tell you: read the book first, if you don't have any historical background; it helps a lot.
Oh, jeez, there are sooo many good films coming to cinemas atm. And I neither have the money nor the time to watch them all. At least they finally filmed Illuminati (which actually is the first of the two books "Da Vinci Code" and "Illuminati" by Dan Brown and not vice versa as the films were made), which should be a good one too.
Anyways - sitting at university at the moment. Listening to a totally boring lesson about automats and epsilon-stuff... Maybe my laptop battery will fade in some minutes - so I'll shut that blog now...
See you all!

PS: I just swooped round my gallery and found all the scans of my pics suck in some way (like grains). Is there anyone round Dortmund who might help me with scanning and reworking those photos? Or maybe you know someone? Thanks.

Today was the first day of the summer semester at my new (well, frankly it's not new anymore ^^) university. I passed all exams of last semester with really, really good grades (even A's, which was unthinkable of at my old institution). I so it there.
Do you know the feeling the day before school starts, all that anxious waiting for the new year to start and to see all the good old mates again? Well ... I was absent from university just one week - my personal holidays before the classes started again today. But the feeling was just like that. All new and glossy and ... oh, I love it.

Today I got a print request which made me even happier. I'd have a look through all those twiddeling knobs you can choose about. ^^ Will take some time though. But - still active in doing some spring cleaning at my harddisk, since like three years or so ^^ - I stumbled over some old pictures, which I'd like to share and will hopefully get up some time in the near future.

Twentyone days ago I got a proposal to switch university. Finally my struggle is over! The last some month were a mere stormy way to walk upon - I had some quarrels with my workload and myself about what will be in the future. I had dark thoughts, yeah. What will be - but I finally managed to get the jump off the bridge into the water. The technical university of Dortmund is gone for good, the university of applied sciences of Dortmund is here. Hail thee, for thou art my future.
It only took some seconds to make the descision to change to another institution. And I feel free again. I love that feeling sooooo much! It was a really good descision, for before my way was blocked by me, by the university, by everything in my life. I didn't know anymore what it is good for to learn, when you finally fail mostly all exams - but hopefully it will be another story here. I already loved it here the first day I walked into the building. So sweet and all the profs are caring and the ppl in student council are simply amazing (and friendly!). I never have seen that before in the university.
It's like a flower blooming in the dark days of autumn and winter. And everyday I wake up with a smile on my face.
I just it!
