Or, in short, *boilk*.
Anyway, just back from a weekend at Oktoberfest (and friends), and back to semi-reality in Spain, which more or less is a return to inefficient and dysfunctional systems, none better exemplified than my first day of school. But first – Oktoberfest.
Oktoberfest was fun and all, but with the massive crowds that descend upon Munich at this time of the year, it was never gonna be as fantastic as it could be. So after a short time there, we headed off to Stuttgart, where the almost as excellent Cannstatter Volksfest would be held. Yet another of them crazy beer fests, this one was not as crowded in the early hours of the day, meaning that a seat could be had in a beer tent for early arrivers. It was, in short, crazy fun. Too much fun, in fact, and I ended up with a big bout of drunkenness mixed in with food poisoning, which together with near zero-degree temperatures in Munich (where we returned to for our return flight) at midnight damn nearly killed me. Can’t say it was most enjoyable, but at least a few hours in Stuttgart proved to be among the most fun hours so far in Europe!
So anyway, exchange admin has been a bitch. Thanks to my course requirements back home I’ve got this huge set of limitations on courses that I can take here. Thanks to my fantastic faculty here I’ve got about 10 subjects in English that I can take here. And thanks to the fantastic admin here, on the 3rd day of course registration (and 1st day of either class that I intend to take) I come to school to find out that both my courses are full. So I am royally fucked.
Anyway I’m still trying to work out a solution with the school and mine, so maybe
