Snowy Bad Aibling, trashing a car and seeing a happy baby

We had loads of snow lately and within all the traffic mayhem caused by the weather, Patrick and me paid our last respects to my old Fiat Uno. It’s been a valuable companion during the past few years but several defects and the need for a safer and spacier car (Chiara’s here, you know ^^) finally led to the decision that we’ll have to say good-bye to the brave Italian. *sigh* Well, but at least Chiara was happy to see her aunt and her uncle again 😀

Flu, grades, cold, back on the track (rails) etc.

Well, well… So much has been going on and I don’t really know where to start. Hmm… Might be because I’ve not been writing so much lately 😉

First of all, I got my grades. Okay, I was complaining and whyning a lot and to be honest, I was seriously not expecting too much. I don’t know how but I passed all exams and the grades are quite okay, actually! Yaay! 😀 So now, I can fully conentrate on the upcoming last semester with its four exams and, of course, my thesis. Wish me luck with all that!

But just as the last test was done and my stress-level fell I caught a mean flu which took me down for roughly a week already. I’ve still not fully recovered yet but it looks like it’s going to be over in one or two days. This is like so typical by the way: Just when the time’s here for me to relax, enjoy parties with friends, go to the gym on a more regular basis again etc. I get sick! D’oh!

Alright, what’s next? I’ve been using the time I had to stay at home and in bed to increase my Ruby on Rails knowledge. So it might have had a positive side, too. 😉 This is the language / the framework I’ll build my thesis on and I should finally start again to work on that for I’ve not been doing anything there since January…

Oh and my dear sister will be coming home from Barcelona for a couple of days this week! She’ll have her viva voce – wow! Then we’re going to have another Dr. in the family 🙂

“Ein Fest…” or having fun at the Hofbräuhaus

After having had our last exam, some friends and I went to the always-funny infamous Hofbräuhaus for lots of beer, good food and just having a good time (well, for me there was no beer included, of course 😉 ) And because I just desperately wanted to test the new iMovie, I just had to create a movie with some stupid pix 😀

 
Update: Yes, the video quality is quite bad. There should be, however, a “Display HQ video” link to the top-right of the video. If you click this directly after going to that page, the picture quality improves a lot. It’s still far from being perfect, but hey, who’s perfect 😉

It’s over. Eventually…

Had my last exam in this semester and it was SHIT. Wow, now the exam-season is over and I don’t even feel a little tiny bit relieved! 🙁
