A university miracle

i'm doing a class this term in german studies to get my didactics credit for this subject. it started yesterday and i couldn't believe what happened: we are only 5 people (lecturer not counted)! above all, two of them are guest auditors and one is an exchange student from slovakia. i've never seen this in my whole university career. especially in the german studies the seminars are overcrowded or at least always full. is that because it is on fridays? or are there so many other seminars where you can get an equal credit?

One ends, one begins

six weeks of school internship behind me. first day of new term.
the day turned out to be better than i thought and i thought it's going to be terrible when i woke up this morning. my motivation to go to my seminars this term is at about -150 or so.
usually i'm at v. practice at this point of time, but my back hurts again and i don't feel like it.

in the previous weeks i learned that getting up early isn't that bad when you have a reason and a goal. going to school and teaching was a good thing. ok, the bigger part was sitting in classes and observing but hey, i had fun and hilarious company.
in my co-op everything's the same. my room mates are partly annoying and partly nice company. it goes like this: we have discussions about cleaning up and about things that should be repaired; that causes bad atmosphere and then suddenly we're overcome with something and we're one united team again and clean up together or do other great things. on friday we all went downstairs to the 1 euro shop and bought a little plastic frankenstein head and a little plastic pumkin. purpose: our toilet flush has been broken since ages and now we built a great construction with our toilet tank and with a lace and the pumkin and the frankenstein. don't ask. typically, we didn't finish it. we tried out different laces but couldn't find an appropriate one. now the half done tank cover is still lying there in the bathroom.
