One month…
Hey everybody,
I guess it’s going to be redundant that I start each entry with an excuse for not having writen anything lately, but I’ll try to change that soon! One month has passed so lets see what happened. Last time I told you that I was in Milan and The Hague which was really cool, though that caused some of my stress afterwards…
As I had to write four papers for the last semester and not much time aside from conferencing 
I didn’t manage to hand all of them in so far. This week I managed to get the more important one done and on Monday I gonna start writing the last one for last semester so that I can think of writing the first one of this semester… 
After the conferences I spent two week at my moms place (ok, did some trips to Bremen, Oldenburg and Detmold as well) and enjoyed “hotel mum” quite a bit Now I’m back in Berlin since a bit less than two weeks and aside from writing the papers life’s really great. Originally I had planned to rent a truck and bring some more of my own stuff along (especially my bed…) but it turned out that that would have been so expensive that I actually could go and buy a new one here in Berlin instead… Don’t know yet whether I’ll go for that option. Anyway, after I handed in the before mentioned paper I decided to do this week all the administrative and housework stuff I had postponed during writing. After cleaning the whole apartment (took me 2 days and lots of time) now everything looks nice and shiny and I really hope it’s gonna stay that way (still have to show my flatemate what cleaning actually should be about… 
). So while I had cleaned my room, it still looked like the chaos you’re all used to see at my place Guess what, I changed that yesterday! I actually bought some folders and went through all my documents flying around in a bunch of stacks of paper and put them in a logic order in the folders!!! I really can’t remember and doubt that my documents where ever organized in a similar way before… Cool thing though, I managed to find nearly EVERY document (like for examples all account statements from 2005 up to now *feeling proud*) I need to have 
So now my room’s not only clean, but organized – first time ever 
Social life has been great as well. First weekend I met up with some friends from the conference in Milan and on Thursday I went with Charlotte and Marie to a little nice cinema (first one in Berlin I really really like) to watch “Deutschland 09″. So funny, we actually managed to fulfil all stereotypes for going out in Prenzlauer Berg: We walked or came by bike, we had a good pizza, watched a cool but highly complex, intellectual and somehow strenous movie in a little independed cinema while drinking Bionade… Today Marie is going to throw a party at her house and I’m looking forward to see all the people with funny hats (You’ve to have one to enter) I’ve borred a über cool (jep, that’s english though kind of really weird…) hat from Kyra (she’s the queen of hats!!!) and so I’m all set 
Ok, last couple of words about soccer… Damn it, wasn’t that awesome on Wednesday? Gosh, if I had have a cardiac pacemaker I most definitely would have killed that thing… Too bad, the tickets for the final of the german supercup are already gone 
That would have been my second time watching Werder in the Olympia Stadium, as I was there last Sunday (though that wasn’t really successful…) Anyway, now I’m heading over to my favorite sportsbar here in Berlin, the Alois S. where a bunch of cracy green dressed people use to scream and argue (including me up front) about eleven people that run behind a little ball…
Have a great weekend,
more to come soon, Philip
