"worth"-case scenario: make the best of it...

as you know my reason for not posting that much these days is that i'm studying hard for my final oral exams at the moment. but today something very surreal happened and i've got to put down a few lines here.

imagine me, sitting at my desk in the library bent over books and sheets, trying hard to get all the stuff into my head to make ends meet gradewise for my exam tomorrow afternoon.
suddenly my mobile rings: a strange number i don't know appears on my display - the only thing i can tell is that it has to be somebody calling from within the university building. so i answer the call and to my surprise it's the person who is going to hold the exam tomorrow, asking:
"where are you?"
"why? i'm in the library - studying..."
"well, you should be sitting in front of me as your exam is now!"
"no, that can't be. i'm supposed to be in tomorrow, i doublechecked it..."
"but you're on my list, so either you can arrange to come over here, or you'll fail the exam!"

WORST-CASE SCENARIO, isn't it?

i was totally confused, but sure that something on the exam schedule must have been changed and i didn't check it in time, or whatever. so i packed my stuff and ran over there, adrenaline pumping to my veins, but actually not really nervous. although i had to sit an exam i wasn't as prepared for as i wanted to...

half an hour later it started and i just talked and talked, realizing that i wasn't blank, but instead could answer most of the questions...

and half an hour later they sent me out to discuss my grade, let me in again a couple of minutes later to announce my grade: a "1" which is the best grade you can make in germany. i couldn't believe it, and still can't. well, that's the best way to handle a scenario like that: just try to make the best of it - which i surely did, hehe...

that's all for today, it was a stressful but in the end veeeery nice one for me!

hope you're fine out there and see you soon!

yes-yo-yippie-yeah!

it's mid-april in germany and one can't believe it: summer's here. it's got about 27 degrees celsius and everybody's out on the streets in this nice town - well, everybody but me...'cause i've got to sit at home and study study study for the last bit of my exams: still 9 to go. all oral exams, starting next wednesday and the last one will be at the end of june.all the written exams have already taken place, and i think it went quite well most of the time. but i'll see.

so all that stressful studying is my excuse for not updating this blog since january, by the way. nevertheless, i just wanted to let everybody know, that i'm still alive, quite busy at the moment but happy indeed: the weather is nice, i'm gonna finish my studyies soon and the summer won't be over by then, i hope.

well, that's it for the moment as i don't really have any incredible & interesting news - studying is indeed quite boring i reckon - but i promise to keep updating this casbah once in a while. at least i managed to get a new blog layout - which has to be slightly adjusted i think - let's see.

so see you and enjoy yourselves!

p.s. here's a nice pic i shot at the "pinakothek der moderne" in munich



p.p.s.: check out the new modest mouse album "we were dead before the ship even sank": not only one of the best album titles in years but hilarious indie-sound from portland, oregon. just the way i like it... my favourite songs: florida, fire it up, dashboard, and the rest of the album, actually ;-)
