Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, my fellow crawlbots…

The dream I had last night was a really strange one.
I remember being on a train from Gronau to Xanten (there is none at all) alone. Suddenly I realized, that a cousin of me was sitting in the same wagon, on the other side of the corridor, Himemiya Anthy beside him. She is not a real Person, but a Character from the more or less popular anime series “Revolutionary Girl Utena“, which is my favorite one. If i’d meet her on a train, with chuchu, her friend or better… her pet, that she calls her friend (CHU! *nodnod*), I’d scream, pinch mysef, to see if I’m really awake or even run away. But in that dream I sat there, totally absent.
Next thing I remember is stepping of the train with Himemiya and Lucas, asking her, if she wanted to visit the city befor she’d travel on. Suddenly there was a panic at the station, I grep after her, not to loose her in the crowd, get someone others hand, being confused. After that, I saw me and my cousin search for her on the, again, empty station (which was much bigger than the actual Xanten Station). We didn’t find her, but some homeless man in his sleeping bag.
Because we didn’t find her, I went with my cousin to the train, they both wanted to take, which was going to the Netherlands (there is no train from Xanten to the Netherlands). I saw myself, sitting in the train, my cousin next to me. When I woke up, I still asked myself, if the October time ticket, I own to get to the university every morning, was valid for that train…
I do not remember much more….

Strange title, but while I was browsing the blognotes, I took during univerity days, I saw one of my notes with that content. I remember the situation, I wrote that one down in.
Since my heart looks for someone to lean on so painfully soulful, my mnd went crazy. Since there are so many nice women at the university, my mind went even more crazy and invented some strange kind of scoring. Everytime there is someone, who smiles at me or something like that, my mind imagines me, carrying that girl on my arms, watching her face, and returns a score. Most of the time, I have to smirk about that. Sometimes it really makes sense… where is that coming from!?

Help! The Starseeker plays sokoban with his stars!

…. daa daaaa, daa daa daaaa daaaaaa. Someone please slap me.
This week started, like every week will start in the next half year. My alarm clock wakes me up at around 5:00am and I go to the university on 6:00 by train.
Today, the weather is really worth to talk about. Its raining cats, dogs, horses, spiders, cute sheeps, pigs and piggies and some other animals of your choice. Its windy like in late autumn even if autumn just started. I am just happy to be sitting in my room, having it warm and nice. I’m going to make a hot chocolate now.

Some things gonna be told… The starseeker

I just realized, that everything with the trains went very very well! (got my agressive undertone?) Thats really !great! and just causes me a full hour of doing NOTHING here.
Thomas is also here already, so its not THAT bad.
In front of me sits a AOL-User, nick bash0r54 or something similar with his nervecutting P4 Desktop Replacement “Notebook” of the MEDION company. I wish it would overheat and melt him away slowly. Apart from that, he behaves more like mustard54 or uncookedsausage41 and surfes dating sites… and of cause ebay. *sigh*
Nothing more to say…

The Starseeker.

…there was not much talk the last days, I want to explain, why that was the way it was. University life kept me from doing many things I wanted to. I blogged to my notepad (a bunch of paper sheets) and I haven’t found the time yet, to write things down to this. I promise that will happen. I will also write something about the things I currently am about doing. Its not that less ;).

Greetings from the starseeker

Here are some words I found while waiting for Mr Nokielski:

The easier I find words, describing what I think, the more I do distrust them.
The easier they pass my lips, the more I ask myself if they are right.

SoSci Module 3.3 (Social Structures) is the next upcoming event. The room is totally overcrowded. People are standing in the hall already to be able to listen to this lecture. Its the same room as yesterday for the other SoSci lecture. The lecturer, Mr Nokielski, didn’t show up until now, so lets wait on.
The air in this room slowly gets thick as a brick. Mr Nokielski just came and told us to wait until 14:45. Thats another 30 minutes away from now. He left us here, only telling us, he had to finish an exam.
There are now about 100 people in this room .. perhaps… no for sure more. This rooms in R12R06A Are all for about 50 people. I’m very happy to have a seat at a table. Currently, it seems like 5 states, you can be in in here:

1. Sitting at a table
2. Sitting on a chair without a table
3. Sitting on the ground
4. Standing inside the room
5. Standing outside the door

Seems like I am the proud owner of one of these 40 seats w/ table for FREE :).

After this, i’m going to Marl, with Eimann, for planing ELUG Linux days in the Unperfekthaus Essen.
But first… wait on.

Watching the current room situation, I, The Starseeker, promise to create a T-Shirt with the two sentences on it:
"Giving you cordial hugs for your seat / Giving away this seat for a cordial hug" (because a comment refers to the word heartly… I corrected heartly to cordial, that seems to exist, if you ask dict.leo.org. I promise to look there even more often ;))

Mr Nokielski is there at least. He is apparently not as unreliable as his comrade from yesterday, who didn’t show up at all. We are about 30 people in a classroom like chamber with a beamer and so on. I already noticed that this nokielski guy talks alot and very slow. Currently there are some problems with the beamer that doesn’t like the notebook.
Damn it. My pencil ran out of ink and i lent the spare one to Thomas, so i have to stop writing now for a moment.

I just was in the refectory for the first time and had a steak. It tasted somehow between awful and unforgivably bad, but minding the number of people they have to serve i might be able to forgive. In the refectory, I lost Thomas somewhere, but met Marc, someone who was in my class before graduation. Its kind of funny, that the people I am around with at the university have the same names as my old 2 bosses at $Company.
Currently, its about 13:00 and I’m sitting in front of the “Schuetzenbahn 70″-Building, writing this to you with my freshly bought pencil. Marc told me, where to get one. I’m relieved a bit, because on 14:00 my first “Programming” lecture begins. I’d have gotten mad if I hadn’t had a pencil then.
Having to wait is sometimes hard, if you don’t have something to kill time with… and its still an hour left! Please dont’t mind if I write on. But first, i’m going inside now.
After a small visit at the 00 (don’t panic, its not for auto reversing the steak!) I’m waiting on now for my first JAVA programming lecture. What a fun!

Well… sorry that I did’t post anything yesterday. I was too tired an dha d a terrible headace. I promise here and forever: That won’t happen anymore (please don’t take that too serious).
There was another funny episode in MoCS (short form for the name of this lecture) yesterday. The prof asked a guy who sat in the lecture with a PowerBook some questions. A selective cutout of their dialogue is served and translated for you by the gracious Starseeker (L - Lecturer, S - Student):

L: Hey, you there… yes… you with the steel-book!
S: Yes?!
L: Do you know what “to force” means?
S: Yes of cause!
L: Maybe you know about the word “proxy”, too?
S: Not exactly…
L: Then “forced proxy” doesn’t ring a bell?
S: No… not really…
L: I would enjoy you, taking part in my next lecture without browsing russian pr0n sites
S: O_O (< -- he made a face like a car, somwhere between fear, deadly embarresment and running away)
L: Its not our topic _YET_

That guy was shocked like … something.

I am currently doing last tweaks to the shedule, enhancing it to have 2 free days. Currently, there is unly thursday as a free day.
Soon the first SoSci (Social Science) lecture will start.

(Note: the lecture never started, because the lecturer didn’t show up. It might be, that she still had exams on the shedule… we waited for about 45 Minutes in the “empty” small Audimax with about 40 people)

Models of Computer Science I is a lecture about the basic methods in Computer science. The following snippets (and many other in this cathegory) are things, I write down during the lecture. It may seem very context free, but perhaps it makes sense.

Some Blog notes beside the content notes on my notepad:

- It feels still strange to be learining again.
- Its basics, still easy, but i am aware of being lazy. Its fun. After this event, there is only one bblock Social Science of two hours left.
- I see smoking heads already, even if the prof just explains the basics of “Grammar of formal languages” in general.
- If it stays that easy, it will be a great time here.
