From travel to philosophy?
Oh dear,
I should stop watching that movie over and over and over again :-)
It is running nearly non stop, still, and when it is not on I listen to the soundtrack. Normally I have my headet on as my laptops's speakers are broken, but it is only mono. Now I discovered that the headphones of my MP3-Player could do it, too... but unfortunateley their cord is just long enough to be barely able to sit in front of the laptop in a slightly bent position, which will certainly give me some pain in my back tomorrow. But hey: Stereo!!!
I guess I am running in a bit of trouble with the university... no, I did not flash in class, I did not show up drunk, none of the stuff that makes you a legend more than you could want to. It's just that I am already leaving in two and a half weeks (weird!), and most of the qualifications for the courses are done already. I just have no clue if I really have done everything that is necessary to pass the courses, and as you know: One course not passed, and I am in big trouble. I better get to see my mentor "Preceptor" tomorrow and straighten things out with him, if that's possible. I guess I just have to put my hopes in the friendliness of the Professors. Janina (from Witten-Herdecke) told me that is is unlikely exchange students don't pass... but that alone does certainly not comfort me.
Another problem: I sent Christine a birthday package via UPS. Yes, I could have sent it earlier, but you know me, I am terrible with such stuff. Mainly I struggled with "what to buy" and "will it fit into the envelope" just too long, and here I am, all messed up. The UPS guys assured me via phone that the package will arrive at the destination at the 3rd of March - just right. But now I am tracking it online, and what does it say: "STATUS: EXCEPTION". Which means, after looking that up at Google, that delivery is delayed. BULLSHIT! I did not pay for trouble and bad mood and "Boy, you should have sent it earlier, now I am mad at you!", but for "Thanks darling, your gift just arrived at time!". Damn stupid UPS.
UPDATE: I just called UPS in Germany (had to wait because they have no one in the call center before 7:30 German time), and they say that the package is GUERANTEED to arrive TODAY (3rd of March) before 10:30. Hell, whazzup? They say everything looks fine with the package, but is hasn't made it through customs yet (outch). I shall call back in two hours because then they might have a new scan and can tell me more. Well, seems that not everything is lost yet.
You want more problems?
I can't find the data cable for the camera, which keeps me from sharing lots and lots of unbelievable important pictures with you. Well... maybe it's a wink from above that I should care more about picture quality, not quantity? Hell, I don't know.
Even more bad news?
I still don't have a job for summer. The only opportunity that I might have is an unknown software start-up from some guys from my university, based in cologne (where I don't want to work). OK, the job description is fairly interesting, but that might also be tuned to sound good. The pay seems to be some 100 EUR a day, which is fairly impressing for me, but I am not willing right now to trade in money for being with Christine. Hell, there must be a chance to find a job in Hamburg! Right now there are 5 applications running, and I got rejected 2 times already. Argh.
Some good news?
My back still does not hurt.
Good night!
