Ladies and gentlemen, these are the last lines i will be writing from my desk in Maastricht for at least five months. My room is now completely empty, just the PC and a bag awaiting to be taken away as well. I cannot quite describe how I am feeling, now after five years in this city. But maybe the current weather serves as a good picture for your imagination: sun and heavy rainclouds.
Well well, now the day finally came that I am the one leaving for study abroad, or at least for good. During the weekend, I looked over a book about Bamberg, and I must say, at least the photos have created some appetite for something new. The thing is why I am absolutely zero enthusiastic about anything, be it staying here or leaving to Bamberg, is simply that I don’t want to study any more. I want to get finished, receive my diploma, go and queue at the Arbeitsamt while sending out 50 job applications a day, and then finally find a job. I am sick of books and scholars, students and lectures. But hey, it’s only one semester more of courses, and a thesis and then I am finally done!
If you like, come visit this site regularly, since I will be blogging form Bamberg as well. For now, I tell all the people I have not been able to visit again goodbye, more ‚auf Wiedersehen‘, since I’ll be back (if I am allowed to quote Arnold here). Take care!
