One month. That practically demands an entry. Probably with a kind of summary and conclusion on top of that. Since all of my readers do understand this (not so) foreign language I will use this special event to write in English. Please complain in the comments section if you don’t like it. Although that would imply that you already understood everything you read so there is no real room for complaints, is there? Or you just conclude that it is English and complain because of that?! Let’s just see what happens ;) Anyway, the second week is in progress and I roll with it. The courses are interesting and I can already feel how the critical thinking conquers my mind. I am still not sure though what a good presentation looks like or what is expected. A few of my fellow students presented articles today for the first time but there was critical evaluation by the lecturer. Obviously I have to trust in the (show) skills I got so far. Piece of cake.

My current movie recommendation is Watchmen. In my opinion they captured the characters perfectly and emphasized the parts of the story that makes it so unique. The way Dr. Manhatten experiences time, the dark secret that is laying in the dark and of course the severe danger of the coming apocalypse. Please watch the movie and read the graphic novel afterwards to get the rest of the background information.

I guess it is reasonable to assume that some sort of daily routine is imminent. Why is that? How do you define routine? What are the unquestionable signs? Is it the posters on my wall that make my room unique? Is it the familiar sound of my flat mate’s guitar? Is it the new music I start to associate with this country? Is it the grocery story I go on a regular basis? Is it the people who don’t have to ask for my name anymore? Is it the lectures that take so much of my time? Is the same jogging trail I use to run? Is it the language that constantly shapes my thoughts? Is it the same beer I order at the bar and that fills my fridge? Is it the preference for this one bar I’d like to go and dance all night? It is probably all of these pieces in addition to the recognition of the fact that it feels right to be here. Home is where your heart is.
