It's the second week of lectures, and I'm started to get used to everything, all the daily routines, all the ppl and the surrounding. Academically, I'm still doing great, mainly because most of the things taught in class were the things that we've learnt before during our A-levels. It's more like a revision for me, except that, this time I'm learning all that in German. Still struggling with the language for most of the times. It's really tiring, when you have to keep focusing, trying to understand every single voices around you, trying to concentrate during lectures, trying to follow as close as I can. But I'm glad to notice that I started to have thoughts in german, and words started to came up naturally when I speak, without me actually pause for a while trying to recalling the suitable words, or thinking of how to complete the sentence.
Someone once shared this to me: when you started to have dream in german, it means you have reached another level. Well, I do have a dream of someone talking german to me this morning, only one sentence as I could remember, and I failed to understand one of the word in that sentence, and one of my malaysian friend beside me explained it to me. I guess this kind of dream doesn't count, right?!
Hate waking up before 6am every morning. There was one day, when the weather so cold and I was so comfortable lying underneath my blanket. And I was so reluctant to get up and start off my day, when my alarm started to ring. Then there's this voice inside my head telling me to skip class, since there's no attendance taken. But in the end, I got up, cause I didn't really have any relevant excuse to skip classes other than my own laziness, which is intolerable. And those lectures on that day were quite important too, I can't afford skipping them. So, for straight 2 weeks, I make it to class every morning, punctually...
Sometimes, engineers have to draw, and I hate the fact that I hate drawing, coz I never have any talent in it. Skipping one or two of the class for a few reason:
1. I have an appointment to renew my visa
2. Feeling bored.
3. Couldn't understand what the lecturer is drawing (for Darstellung Geometrie), not my fault, the germans also looked as blur as I am. XD
All these require practicing more than theory. Theoretically should be very easy, just draw whatever shit that we need to draw. I'll work it all up by myself.
Infomatik is my favorite at the moment. It's something quite new to me and it's always feeling great to be able to understand something new in a language that you still not really good at. That's what keep me motivated.
Looking forward to the easter break next friday. I'm going off to Netherland. That would be the 1st Euro trip outside Germany since the day I arrived. Gonna pay a visits to the "chickens" in Amsterdam, going to Haarlem and The Hague...
