Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, my fellow crawlbots…

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

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.

Well… after that first day, I am very tired. I learned too much about what I’ve still got to do and I want to sleep now.
After the theacher course introduction, I walked a bit across the campus with Sebastian, a guy I met there at the introduction event. He has Geographics and Physics as courses… hard job. These are the two, I _NEVER_ would have chosen.
The whole rest of the day, I traveled with dominik trough the local public traansport system, waiting for it to swim us ashore. We arrived in Wesel at 20:00 after visiting his grandparents.

After all it was a nice (and long) day. I was awake from 5:00am and so I just want to sleep now.

Sleep well, The Starseeker

Come on my little star,
Shine on until so far
All my friends have geathered here
Cause I want them to be near me.
Shine on them and guide them home.
Let them never be alone.
