Some infos about the daily koteshi

Hola amigos y amigas.

Some time passed since my last post and the main reasons are the newly started Spanish (Si si, finally) and Mandarin (Chinese spoken in mainland China) language courses. Don't get me wrong, I love these new courses but I have to get used to study vocabulary again :)

Beside this of course math and physics, especially electrical engineering, exams are a tough part in my life at the moment.

Right now I wait for the completion of a 3.5GB download so I thought I could spend some time for my blog again.

OK, now some bad and some good news:

Bad things first:
I won't enter the University of applied science in Dortmund this year for really f***** up reasons. Mainly because my old school sucks.
When I left the school 5 years ago, they didn't write the 'grade point average' on my report card. I didn't notice it until I tried to apply for the University during summer vacation when they didn't accept my school certificate cause the GPA was missing. Bad luck: during summer vacation no teacher at my former school was available, cause they were sitting in Nice or Mallorca...
Yeah, what a glourious day...

But quite often every bad thing, offers a new chance.

So it came that I applied to a school in Dortmund where I want to get prepared for the time as a student at the University. This means of course hard work for maths etc.
So when I went the first day to school, I saw the building of the VHS Dortmund (school for adult education program). I knew they offer courses like "how to cook" or "photography for beginners". But I also knew they offer languages courses.
If you are into it, you can learn Arabic, Spanish, Russian, English, French and many more. But most interesting was their offerings for some Chinese language courses. Because I am a student, I get a discount and only have to pay 50€ for the course :)
I applied after some time thinking immediately and took the 'advanced' course cause I learnt some basic Chinese phrases and vocabulary by Jiaqi.

Beside the language course some other event will take place soon:

I'M GOING TO CHINA!!! :D

Yeah, seems like a dream comes true. FINALLY!!!

Now add to all of the time sucking events of the last weeks/months the ongoing planning for the China trip from 21st September till 6th October and et voila: CHAOS ;)
Well, maybe the word chaos is over-the-top. I guess the word stress seems to fit in better here.

I will check up the following locations: Guangzhou (广州), Beijing (北京) and Shanghai (上海)

I received my visa last month, and booked the flight from Duesseldorf to Guangzhou (some might know it better under the name 'Canton') via Air France, the hotels for Guangzhou and Beijing and the flight home from Shanghai back to Duesseldorf via Aeroflot.
So only things missing, are the hotel in Shanghai plus the flights Guangzhou -> Beijing and Beijing -> Shanghai.

Wow, already 2:42AM...

I better quit now.
