What a relief! The result of the first partial exam was communicated: mathematics. And I gloriously passed with 1.3 according to the German system.

Which is what? 18/20 in French terms and an A/AA in UK-terms?

Anyhow, it is a brilliant result and I am very happy, because I was not sure at all. All previous tests were quite good, too, but I thought I had made some minor concentration mistakes, which apparently was not the case.

Now let’s wait for the part „Scientific Working Techniques“, where I think I have not really excelled.

Keep you posted!

But for those who speak German, quote:

„Das Gute ist: Teilklausuren, die bereits vorliegen, können bereits eine Aussage über bestehen und Nicht-Bestehen der Gesamtprüfung treffen. So können Sie gar nicht mehr durchfallen, egal wie WiAr TK (50 % an der Note) gelaufen ist, da GLMS TK (ebenfalls 50 % an der Note) mit 1,3 absolviert wurde. Daher hätten Sie schlechtstenfalls mit 3,1 bestanden (nämlich: (1,3+5,0):2). Wir gratulieren!

As you may well know, I have started my studies of an MBA this November. For somebody who is used to comment and judge others it is quite a thing to get used to being commented and judged. But it is the main purpose of a study: you have to learn, move forward and simply advance with your knowledge and get used to be criticised. You are going for a study because you don’t know things yet but want them to know….

For the first time in my life I lost my mobile. I am quite paranoid about losing things, so I really take care and in consequence losing something is rarely happening to me. I am clumsy and keep forgetting where I put things, but I rarely lose. This time though it well happened: taking my IPhone when going out, forgetting to close the zip. Just didn’t look after the Buddhist thing: when you do things, just do one at a time and concentrate on it….

Luxury – for many people symptomatically linked up with material belongings, for me entirely different: walking around town on a working day or getting dizzy during daytime. Today is Sunday, so I shall focus on the latter….

Toll roads in Poland – you better get the Via-toll! Did you know, Poland performs at least 2 ways of toll roads? I didn’t and so it turned quite expensive. You better be aware.

Cruising through Poland you will be obliged to pay toll on a number of motorways. Taking a ticket and paying it off at both the beginning and the end of the payable stretch of the road. You manually grab the ticket, you pay cash at the end to a guy in his booth. So far so good….

Bad work!

I have been renovating Hubert since 2 years. And just when it is time to leave it breaks down. Back-left wheel broken and a damaged achsle.

As there was a repair done last year it seems obvious, the mistake was done by the garage, but it is refused. „It is an old car and we told you anyway that time there is a problem.“…

Fusion – dancing 4 days for communism

Each year 60.000 people meet on a festival in Müritz region, east Germany living the idea of a communist dream.

It appears, as if the place is burning. Smoke is rising in the remote area of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Lights are shining bright across the old military air base Lärz. Cars queuing up for reaching the compound despite being 5.00 am. It is cold, fog all over. Folk sitting in the car breathe in the sight of signposts and costumed people….
