must...control... fist of death!
You know where this is from? No? Start reading dilbert, by all means!
Today is the second day of this "Personality development" course which durates three days. As I haven't been in yesterday this is my first day in this course - day filling - an it is "interesting". Not sure yet if I really like it. The fact that behind dark glass in the back in the room there are three guys with their computers which have no other task than surveillance of all students (or better, observation?) is not adding to my comfort, as I am right now the only one who has his notebook open... they will attest me something like a "renitent charakter". Well, I can live with that.
However, today is my lucky day: I managed to withdraw some money from the ATM. That is nearly a miracle, as my account is overdrawn - I guess that means that the bank rejected the transaction of the credit card (which was heavily laden with christmas shopping, driving through whole Germany for moving, seeing my folks and stuff) and so there is still some little money left. Well, I will take care of this soon. This happened in Singapore as well: Somehow I always manage to drain my account exactly before I go abroad. Great timing...
More good news: Yesterday I finally received my "Vordiplom". The overall grade is a 3.3, which I don't consider to be great, but the great thing is: I made it! Being proud of that might seem strange to most of my colleagues, but all who saw me struggeling with my turnaround in the third semester and went through the terror of the "Nachprüfung" with me might feel as relieved as I do, and maybe as well proud.
Even more good news: We booked the bus tickets for tomorrow. David Schröder is just arriving here in Mexico City and will join Hansjörg and me to Guadelajara tomorrow to visit Jaschar who is doing his semester there. We were promised some good clubbing and fun - let's see how it works out! Both guys, Jaschar and David, are damn fluent in spanish, so wherever we go I guess people will start talking into me like mad until they realize that I DO understand, BUT NOT IN THAT SPEED! That recently led one of my mexican colleagues here to ask me "do you understand spanisch?"... well...
Finally last good news: I am listening to Defcon Radio the whole time recently. You can find the stream at DEFCON RADIO. It is a mixture of life program and recorded comedy shows, sometimes quite rude - so don't tune in if you are searching for something without the f-word :-)
So long - write me comments, they are welcome in any language you like.
I was asked lately why I am blogging in english - but as some folks from outside Germany are reading this as well, this is just the most practical - as I said in the Singapore blog as well.
