So I think I've decided to commit suicide and take the translation class for Germans instead of the one for foreigners. But the one for foreigners was just SOOOOOOOOOOO boring that I couldn't handle it. On the other hand, the bad thing is that I've become the English language expert . . . which I definitely am not. How the fuck am I supposed to ( Read more... )

I posted an advertisements for online English lessons a while ago, and the other day I finally got a request. I'm going to be teaching an 11-year-old Chinese girl English. She's already had about a year, so it won't be totally starting from the beginning. I'm getting 5 Euros for 45 minutes, or 50 Euros for 10 lessons a month. It's a bit less than I ( Read more... )

One of my roommates randomly showed up yesterday. Her name is Marie and she´s really nice. She´s studying at a Theater school to be a Dramatologist, which is someone who reads lots of plays and does lots of research into the text and then gets to chat with directors about their plays and tell them what they´re interpreting wrong. Basically it´s the ( Read more... )

So yeah . . . my roommates haven't come yet. So I haven't really been doing much, just hanging out. The internet connection I'm using is this weird "Leipzig Freefunk" thing, so it goes in and out. When my roommates come they should be able to tell me how to connect to the real internet ( Read more... )
