Andrew’s World

It's [still] Tuesday and I like the fact that it's all sunny when I get up. I don't have classes that early on Tuesdays, which is very nice. Tomorrow my lessons already start at 7:30, like every Wednesday... plus, I'm writing a testpaper [Klausur!] in Chinese. I'm not afraid of not passing it, because I am well prepared. I didn't do much for it, just the usual vocabulary-learning on the bus and repeating some grammar. My aim is gaining 100% again... I know this sounds egocentric, but who cares. It just counts if I will pass or not. I'm sure I will, so I can raise my aim, right? :)

After Chinese, we went to Mr. Heck's lecture of History of Linguistics, which in fact is merely 40-year-old syntax. I counted the remaining students today, it was 47, and I'm not sure if I will come next time. It's a horribly boring lesson... not just because I dislike syntax, it's the lecturer — he lacks humanness and doesn't seem to be too convinced and educated in his own subject either; and he can't explain well. That's not just my opinion. Ask the other ~150(?) students who had been in Mr. Heck's first lessons...
At the same time two lecture halls to the left, Anne, Svea, Ulrike, 庄妍, Lukas, Jonas, "Sachsen-Georg", "der Mongole" and many other persons wrote their Japanese testpaper. Poor them... Anne and Svea said it was easier than they expected but still crappily difficult. 妍 didn't have too many problems. However, Ulrike wasn't happy, she's not even sure if she passed... more like the opposite is the case. I hope for her she's completely wrong in her expectations and did pass her test. :/

Afterwards I went to eat a Döner at the Dönerpoint and paid attention at our Fachschaftsrat's election point, together with Verena. Many people came but as we share the table with the evil ALuTI Fachschaftsrat, they came to elect their candidates. I hope in the following 2 days we'll receive more votes. I also met Steffi there! And I met Sven Siegmund & Thomas Goldammer. Sven will give me some old Czech dictionaries by tomorrow, while Thomas proposed to send me some translations of "forty-seven" in a few exotic languages. :D

Back home (my parents are back again) I watched a Chinese movie called "重庆森林" ("Chungking Express") [6 points] which stared Faye Wong, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung. Whoo! I don't know if I like Faye Wong as an actress, her singing's much better... I like her music videos. And in this movie she had really short hair. Just like my Chinese teacher Mrs. Buchta... I wonder if there's a connection. :S
