Campus Life

14 12 2009

Like any other college students, Monday isn’t my favorite day. I don’t hate Monday though. Monday is good if I want to forget something or just stay away from any annoying thoughts. Because Monday is simply… exhausting yet fun :)

You see, every Monday I have 5 long blocks of lectures (1 Block = 90 minutes), I have 15 minutes break between each blocks, most of the time the lectures are not located in the same building, so practically I spend the precious 15 minutes only to go to the next lecture, I can barely buy something to eat. Well, in the lunch break you’ve got to hurry to the canteen (we call it Mensa here in Germany) to avoid that lousy long line. Just try to imagine, queuing with noisy hungry stomach and a backpack full of books in windy  -5°C temperature, and a gray sky. Not a very pleasant thing to do everyday. But you can have a nice small talk with your classmate to forget the nasty winter weather. but personally most of the time we were just cursing the the weather or the long endless blocks ahead of us. :P

we finish all the class at 17:00, that means I have 3 hours before aerobics training. that’s right! sport exercise at night. we simply don’t have the time in the morning or in the afternoon, and I’m just too lazy to do anything on the weekend. It’s free facility from the ASTA (some kind of student association) so we have our own trainer.

I usually got home at 22:00 and can’t wait for a hot shower. I don’t have the energy to learn or to do anything else. Beside, I have to be at the campus before 8 am on the next day, so I just go to bed or go cuddling my boyfriend :P





Christmas Market

13 12 2009

My boots got broken few days ago, so yesterday me and my roommate went to Bremen to look for a new pair. I waited for her until she finish her work at 5 pm. Then we went downtown. It was frigging cold but we decided to walk, because we like the Christmas atmosphere, the shops were all full, the passages were crowded, and the street was full of decoration.

after we had dinner, we checked a few shops, but I just haven’t found what I was looking for, so we went to Cathedral where the Christmas market was held. there were a lot of huts where people sold a lot of kind of food, most of them were Glühwein (special drink for Christmas), candies, sweets, fruits, toys, candles, you can find a lot of things for Christmas gift there.

because it was soooo crowded that we had difficulty to walk, we drop in a small English cafe, it was so small, we were lucky to get a place to sit, I ordered white chocolate, and a cheese cake, while my roommate had cappuccino, so we end up talking all the time, instead of finding a pair of new boots, :P
