Today is 13th. September. this last days have been quite hard, many activities, small talks and somehow not so productive work.(well, this is another problem) Monday evening: beer drinking and talking, almost philosophizing (?), well indeed, talking about some serious things like the nature of men (ps. i mean human beings...), moral values and expectations, problems the future will reserve us and so on. Interesting. For me it is all about trying to change people around a little bit, if they at least start thinking about things....The day before (12th), excel tables. well, what can i say, the data i need ist actually incomplete, so, let´s see if there will be a way to solve this. Had dinner near the old campus with some of the English teachers. Nice place, hot pot, native English speakers, sometimes difficult to understand, but indeed the best opportunity to practice the language.


So, 5 days later, here i am, 18th of September, the time is just flying, fact that makes me nervous sometimes. Well, and i kind lost the pace of writing every day, and indeed, i kind forget all the details of daily life, which might also be not so bad, since i must be boring you with all my stories......anyway, there are some things to tell..... New things/old things i forgot to talk about:
- Have a kind of a mountain bike now, so i can go much faster to the places, thou it is not really a bike for serious riding, quite old, a monster bike....i hope it just don't get broken...
- The other language i am kind practicing for fun is French (i can understand quite a lot) since i sometimes hang up with some of the 24 aeronautical engineering students which arrived from Paris IPSA. Well, they are all as old as my sisters, and by spending time with them, i always have to think about the time when i was 22......well, sometimes i feel like it.....



- So, since last week i am attending Chinese Classes, and i hope now i manage to learn it more structurally. But as someone said: it is bloody hard work.
- Had some "small talk" with the 3 sweetest girls ever, from Russia. They are 17, God, THIS good times ware long time ago for me, dude, feel so old sometimes......the other day they went to the disco and came back at 6.30 in the morning....well, i promised them we would go out together sometime.....
- The poor freshman, you see them with this camouflage clothes all around, they have to wear it for 1 month, and they do some hard training everyday beginning at 6 in the morning. Much hard then the treatment we got from our senior students back in my college times.....


- There are also a plenty of beautiful Stewardesses walking around, they do some of their training here.
- All around the campus you can find speakers, and during lunch, in the morning and the evening the play music or do some advertisement or whatever. So it would not be so bad
if i hadn't one of these speakers just in front of my window. And the people in the building besides mine (we share the same wall) are always so loud, so sleeping well is becoming more complicated.
- It was middle of September, and we had a day, it really looked like summer, it was so warm...............is it climate change? (hey, now i can use wikipedia again,with Anonymouse.org)
- Did i ever mentioned the aircraft models the Chinese students are building in the first floor? so, every day when i come to work, i go have a look, and, they are quite interesting. And then when it gets really loud outside, i know they are trying to get the things to fly, or most of the time, they are testing the motor, so, they burn some fuel for half an hour and make a noise which makes quite nervous, but hey, what can i do?!?!?


- The first time i saw one of the models flying (and trowing fireworks) was at the sport event from Sunday. Kind of "gincana" (what is the English word??), and some athletics, and soccer game, the French guys against the Chinese teachers.



- Today i finally met the head of the ICEEE. And today my internet decided to stop working, no one could help me until now. So tomorrow. The other thing definitely not working anymore is my dvd. Well, my notebook is almost 3 years old, i think it is already kinda sick.......

- Internet working again, as you might notice, since i am posting...rainy, Chinese classes were good today, work is going, still didn´t get the data.... :-(
-This is more or less (in fact, i think it is more crowded) how it looks like at noon, when classes finish and everybody goes for lunch.....



- Next post will be about work, cause maybe someone is thinking i do nothing besides having fun....well, not that work isn´t fun..... :-P
