Nikolaus

Endlich mal wieder etwas schoenes aus Berlin zu berichten! Ich hatte ein wunderbares Nikolausgeschenk. Und "Wunder" trifft es ziemlich genau ;)
Nachdem ich den Glauben an mein Institut schon vor mehreren Semestern aufgegeben habe und die Vorstellung ein mehrsemestriges Studienprojekt mit meinen so geschaetzten Kommiliton_innen durchfuehren zu muessen mich nur mit Grausen erfuellte, durfte ich jetzt feststellen, dass es nicht nur halb so schlimm ist. Nein, es ist sogar eine sehr erfreuliche Angelegenheit! Ich geniesse nicht nur das Privileg, mich in meiner Zwischenpruefung lang und breit mit feministischen Theorien auseinandersetzen zu duerfen, sondern ich arbeite auch mit Professorinnen zusammen, die wissenschaftliche Texte tatsaechlich noch "aufregend" und sogar "atemberaubend" finden!
An Tagen wie diesem weiss ich ganz genau warum ich mal angefangen habe zu studieren. Und vor allem auch warum ich weitermachen will :)

******************************************************

Finally some good news from my misearable Berlin life ;) I got a wonderful pre-xmas-present!
After I already had given up my belief in my department, and the idea of participating in a 3 semester project just gave me the creeps each time it came to mind, I now realised that it actually can be a delightful experience! Not enough that i enjoyed the privilege to do two whole exams exclusively on feminist theories, but apparently I also work with professors who really take enough delight in their profession to call a scientific paper "exciting" and even "breathtaking"!
These are the days when I'm reminded why I went to uni. And also why I wanna stay there :)

Holly Golightly

I went to see Holly Golightly the other day and it was awesome :)

As my dear friend D said:

Then I saw her face - now I'm a believer!

Berlin Berlin

Yes, I'm back. And yes, I miss Brighton. I miss it so much, i had to put a postcard with the pier and sunset over my desk... *sigh* I also miss all my friends... H and G just left and returned to the beautiful sea after some days in Berlin... We had loads of fun! Well, at least I had ;) Apparently I'm turning in a cocktail-drinking kareoke addict :) I'm lookin 4ward now to have N over!!! All others please feel invited to visit me and Berlin sooner or later :)

Unfortunately I won't make it to Brighton before January. I'll tell u as soon as I book my flight when exactly I'll be there! And I also still plan to come to Brighton in March for several weeks and am looking for places to stay. It's also possible to just switch places in case u plan a Berlin visit in the same time.
See u hopefully soon...
