these are my last days at the University of Applied Sciences Mittweida and living on company grounds. Just one more oral exam, tomorrow; and in a few days I’ll begin to write my diploma thesis in Jena.
It was a nice and quiet time here (except for the fork lifter ballet at 6.30 in the morning). Thank you fellow students and professors.

I’m talking about the Socalled concert during the Kulturarena in Jena on July the 25th. That was the g*d dam**d best open air concert I have been at. Not just the unusal (but perfect) mix of Hip Hop and Jewish music also the awesome vibe on and off the stage carried me away.
