A Day In The Life
I managed to get a sunstroke.
Or my glasses are not strong enough anymore and don't manage to correct my vision anymore - which results in a lot of queasiness and light-headedness. Not really that bad, but I was glad when I was able to go home, which was a lot earlier than anticipated.
Sometimes, I feel there is something wrong with my Uni courses. Take today, for example - and what today's courses consisted of.
Somehow, I think I have the right to feel vaguely ...unchallenged.
Especially "Media Theory" is a complete disappointment.
For some reason, the poor people we are supposed to be working with are Postgrad students and even lecturers from Unis all over Europe - which is a great thing - but all we have been doing so far is trying to install programs and going, "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? I can hear you, but can you hear me?" into our mics - and discussing how we were not able to access the homework nor read the assignment because the file was corrupted. It's pretty pathetic.
Something completely different - did you get my e-mail,![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

| Time | angie_21_237 | Me |
| 8-10am | Listening to an oral report on the history of the modern male, discussing the content of the text. | Listening to a report on the history of the modern male, then a half-hour group work session consisting of cutting pictures from magazines and sticking them on a poster. |
| 10-12am | Doing an oral presentation on an economic theory (for credit), followed by a group work session, the groups discussing and applying the abstract principles just learned. | Listening to an oral report on The Brothers Lionheart and the use of colours and elements in the book. This consisted of listening to people read out bits of the novel with their best fairy tale voices and then discussing our associations with the colours used. |
| 2-4pm | Course on the poverty in Hamburg - theory and practical solutions to a growing problem (20% of the under-six-year-olds are living on social welfare money today) | Trying for three quarters of an hour to upload the texts we were supposed to read into StudyLog, then trying to talk to people on Skype for ten minutes. Then giving up. |
| 4-8pm | Another theory-heavy course with discussions and rather abstract texts. | Sitting in a room for ten minutes past the beginning of the course, then finding out that the course does not take place, and going home. |
