The 5 Culture Presentations I would like to choose for the KGP

So the culture presentations took place on Wednesday and Thursday last week!
I think that was a big day for all of us, since this project was a big part of this semester. Eagerly and maybe nervously awaiting our big moment in the spotlight, I think everybody did a pretty good job. I also had the impression that the audience really paid attention.


These were the presentations I listened to:

1. The Columbian exchange
2. Why on earth would anyone live in Tornado Alley?!
3. Racial Segregation as Depicted in 2 Movies
4. Delta Blues
5. Deaf Art
6. Scientology
7. The Amish country
8. Recent gun discussion
9. Painted America
10. Harlem, NYC

And the 3 Irish ones:

1. Culture Connects
2. Patrick Nee
3. Operation Demetrius

It was a tough choice, but the 5 presentations I chose for the KGP are:

1. Racial Segregation as Depicted in 2 Movies
2. The Amish country
3. Painted America
4. Harlem, NYC
5. Ellen DeGeneres

To all of you: Good luck for the KGP!!:)

The end of a semester can be a new beginning...

I know I've been neglecting my duties as a blogger way too long, but I'm really willing to change for the better concerning a more consistant way of blogging in SUK3. (I hope I'm going to make it there :))

Lately, I've been thinking about what I really liked about my first year at university, what I didn't like and what went really wrong. While reflecting on my actions concerning last semester, I realized that there are a few things that I should do in order to enjoy university more:

• Stop doing homework assignments in the nick of time
• Going to bed earlier than I usually do (I guess going to bed at midnight isn't a good idea, is it?)
• "The early bird catches the worm" - This proverb suggesting waking up early clearly has a deeper meaning:)
• Get organized (arranging things really shouldn't be underestimated)
• Join a study group, which is especially in my case a good idea, since studying with other "fellow-sufferers" sometimes really motivates me

We'll see if I can live up to that:)
