Logic

[mothwing]

Congratulations to myself for failing my first test of the semester truly disastrously.

I never had such a blackout before. Well, not that I knew that much to start with, the only reason why I wanted to write the test at all was a vague notion that even though I do not need it at all, it had annoyed me so much I just wanted to write and pass this test. Ah, well. Dabei sein ist alles.

Well, that didn't work out. I don't even need it, but still... it is not a nice feeling to fail even a course you really do not need at all. AND I handed in homework for it all the semester, too. Pfft. This really... irks me.

Anyway. If I am ever mad enough to take such a course again just to prove me I can think logically (which never worked in school), I'll try and pick one which is not run by a physicist. It may have been a lot easier if we hadn't had mathematical examples all the way.

Well, now I feel stupid. Not that that is new, either.

I spent a great hour after finishing this horrible nightmare in Planten un Blomen, Hamburg's most beautiful park, taking pictures and trying out a new lens. I am in love with my reflex camera. The only problem is that I am the only member of my family who has not inherited my father's or both my grandfather's talent for taking the most amazing pictures. Quite an alarming number of the pictures I make are even blurred. It is a shame.

Otherwise the start of semester was rather promising. A great, really interesting course on Postmodern Fiction, a bit of luck with my other courses and even an extremely positive surprise with my Phonetics and Phonology course. After the usual introductory "Strict-punctuality-and-yes-everybody-has-to-read-and-prepare-everything-even-those-who-do-not-want-a-to-write-a-paper-because-preparation-is-essential-in-my-courses" -speech of Prof. Hühn I am at least convinced that it will not be a boring semester.
