From now on, it will be an ordinary diary of me, a 19-year-old student. I will collect pieces of my every day in here, as memories, that once I have lived and studied here in Germany. That's my intention of writing this blog. :)
I have a great start today, which means: get up early as expected and had a great breakfast without a hurry. Now I have 'putting on contact lenses' as my new morning routine. At first I almost gave up to wear contact lenses because it took me half an hour on the first day. I was so upset at myself but then I told myself, practice makes perfect, this one too. So I keep repeating it everyday and now it takes less than 5 minutes I guess. It sounds a little bit silly but this tiny success makes me happy today :)
As I was thinking about what I should put in my lunch box today, I thought of the conversation between me and Jinny on the last Tuesday. We were in the subway on the way home together and then came a homeless in the train and asked for something to eat or some donations. I have lived in Berlin since last September and I've found that it's normal here. Still, I can't get used to this situation. I always feel awkward and a question always pops in my head when I see them. "Do they miss the old good days?" This time I asked Jinny if she ever asked herself the same question too. She turned to me and nodded excitedly. Secretly, we all notice and think about things/people around us constantly but most of the time we choose to ignore them. So when I spoke it up, it's like this secret voice is suddenly louder, and we're surprised. She asked herself about talented street musicians. Where did they learn those? They had to learn from somewhere right? Somewhere in the past. For me it's not about musicians but directly the homeless. I'm certain that there are no parents who wish their own kids to live like this.
Why? What is the turning point to be in this kind of situation? I think it would be an offense to ask them directly (actually it is already) and I may not be ready for the answer either.
I wondered if they also believe in the say that life is like a wave, there's up and down all the time. How do their good days look like, I don't even know.
At Studienkolleg (prep-course for foreigners who want to study here in Germany) was quite cheerful today (Informatik class is of course the exception.) The sky was clear and it was sunny until 4-5pm. Now I know that weather really changes people moods. In Deutsch class (writing) I always expect the good feedbacks for my essays. They were quite ok but the one that I gave my most effort was disappointing. My mistakes are mostly grammar like plural/wrong articles/wrong declination. Oh yes, now comes this sentence again: Practice makes perfect, huh? Maybe I should start to write in German too? Haha ð But academic writing is different. There are graphs, statistics...
What are the reasons to fall asleep in the class? It was relatively embarrassing and this was my second time already. *sigh* well, when we only learned theories then I surely fell asleep. It was boring for me. Now we learn the Pascal language in Informatik and we had to write down all the theories first. I want to sit and start programming like right now. I like this subject but its theory? Ehm...
Math class is definitely my favourite. Somehow I discovered that I love subjects that give me many problems to solve: maths or physics for instance. I enjoy spending my time thinking and find the solutions. Another alternative: interesting theories which I have to think and interpret and we can discuss about later on. That's why I like Philosophy. Discussion is always my thing.
In the evening I went to workout in the fitness room as usual. My right foot hurts and that's why I couldn't push myself as hard as always. I chose to ride bicycles for half an hour, 3 sets push-ups, 200x rope spring(?), and stretching. Though, I sweated a lot after the first half an hour because I kept my velocity stable.
