  Andersdenkende sind die Gegner des Faschismus, und werden mit aller Macht bekämpft. Der „natürliche“ Anspruch auf die Macht besteht aus der Sicht des Faschisten grundsätzlich. Diese Macht ist demnach dauerhaft zu sichern: Faschismus beginnt nicht erst mit der Inhaftierung des politischen Gegners und seiner anschließenden Ermordung, er entsteht bereits in unfreien Geistern, die ihre absolute…

I DID IT!!!! I WAS ACCEPTED INTO UNI LEIPZIG! Oh man I can’t tell you all how super exciting that is. I didn’t quite believe this would actually happen, it’s been such a tumultuous year. Not knowing if I could actually stay in Germany, not knowing if I’d pass the entrance exam for Studienkolleg, not knowing if I’d make it through Studienkolleg, not knowing if my Studienkolleg course would be accepted for my chosen degree, not knowing if I met the language prerequisites, not knowing if I’d gotten my application in on time, not knowing if I’d filled it out correctly, not knowing if my Endnote was high enough for the minimum requirement nor indeed if I’d be accepted into uni. There were so many times I honestly thought “Well, this is it. Had a good run up until now and it’s been a good learning experience but I suppose everything comes to an end”. But it’s only about to begin!!! My friend Mariah (from the States) went through the same Studienkolleg course as me and asked me the other day if it’s hit me yet that I’m about to start my degree in Germany. It’s so surreal when I think about it, I actually can’t. I don’t know if it will ever hit me. I can process that I’ve so far achieved my goal but my brain pulls a 404 Error when I try thinking about studying in Germany, in German. Fortunately it’s not an entry requirement.

Service für Patienten: Sachsens Kliniken um «Wohlfühlatmosphäre» bemüht

Ins Krankenhaus geht niemand gern. Doch wenn eine Aufenthalt dort unvermeidlich wird, wollen ihn die Häuser den Patienten und ihren Besuchern so angenehm wie möglich machen, mit Internet, Fernsehen und Telefon. Auch Einschränkungen bei Besuchszeiten sind oft weggefallen.

Here is Part I if you missed it

The saga continues! Quick refresher: Emailed Frau Richter at the Japanologie Institute. Fr Richter said I had to talk to Fr Böhme. Visited Fr Böhme who said I needed to talk to Fr Richter. 

Fr Richter has two contact hours per week. Two. It took a month before I was finally able to see her and the first thing she did was refer me back to Fr Böhme again. 

I was not having a bar of it. Holding back tears of extreme frustration I had to explain how talking to Fr Böhme again was not going to happen and that I needed an answer.

So I have good and bad news!

Bad news is: Apparently everything is controlled by an unnamed deity and that's why nobody takes responsibility for anything.

Also bad is that my two years of Japanese at school can't count because that's the language I'd be learning in my degree. I asked why I needed the third language and she said to something vague about globalisation and the need to prove I can learn another language. The irony of that conversation taking place in German just blows my mind. 

Good news is she'll discuss it with her colleagues and I may just have to learn my third language by the end of my degree. Also good news is that I may have the option of doing a year long exchange to Japan. Yeah baby, double semester exchange!
