Hey, friendslist! Again I've been playing dead when I'm not, which is something you really don't deserve, because you're all such lovely people and I honestly don't want to ignore you, even when I do

That is so wonderful (and impressive in size, too o_O)! It really is so excellent when people come together peacefully for a good cause, with no profit to themselves except to stand up for something they believe in. I love it. ^^ And that video is lovely, seems like everyone had such a good time! I'll look forward to the photos of you as a barrel, ha. ^^

Hope your university situation clears itself up soon, with the minimum amount of drama. :/ It sucks that it's gotten to the point that you feel like legal action might be the only option!

I teared up a little bit reading this entry! I love hearing about all different people coming together like this for something meaningful!

The situation at your university sounds incredibly stressful, good luck!

Totally unrelated, but. . . speaking of Germany, I guess, you did great at the Paralympics - second in medal count, and with some of the most epic and awesome athletes! Verena Bentele, a visually impaired skiier who won 5 gold medals, and Josef Giesen, a biathlete who competes with no arms and even though it holds back his skiing he has ridiculously good shooting, or of course Gerd Schoenfelder, who won his 16th gold medal in alpine events. O_O I was rooting for all of them. :) (Actually I saw Giesen come in 4th place in one race, which was really tough! He got a bronze later but I either missed it or we didn't broadcast it. The announcer was as impressed as I was, though, it was cute.)

That is so brilliant. There's so many awful things in this world that people engage in but I guess we don't realise that there's probably as much good-natured activities and miracles going on as well. I mean, we've gotten this far. :)
Thanks for sharing this! I wouldn't have been aware of it at all, being on the other side of the world and a lil ignorant myself. :/

Your university seems like there's always some drama going on. Heh. I hope things settle down soon.

Ich habe keine Ahnung, warum ich davon in den (online-)Zeitungen nichts gelesen habe, DAS IST SO TOLL!
Nein, ganz im Ernst, ich find's einfach großartig! Mir kommt's derzeit so vor als ob ich täglich mit irgendwelchen Streikmeldungen im Radio aufwache, und wenn's nicht Frankreich ist dann Griechenland, und wenn nicht Griechenland dann Deutschland... UND ICH MÖCHTE JEDES MAL MEINEN KOPF AN DIE WAND SCHLAGEN WENN ICH DAS HÖRE!
Nicht, weil Streik nicht ein wichtiges Druckmittel wäre um seine Arbeitsbedingungen oder sonstwas zu verbessern, aber wenn immer die gleichen Pappnasen im Paarwochenrhythmus streiken, dann fragt man sich am Ende wirklich warum und wirft alle nochmal gleich mit in den selben Korb, die zum ersten Mal seit Jahrzehnten streiken und man es vielleicht nur nicht weiß. Vor allem, wenn sie damit irgendwas lahmlegen und somit denen schädigen, die auf sie angewesen sind und nicht streiken
