In our university, we have an “Orientierungseinheit” (OE) which means there are events for new students one week before the other stuff begins. I tried to find out when the OE for my subject begins but I ended up finding the exact time for any OE BUT mine….this is SO typical ><
And then on thursday I began wondering when they would send me all the stuff I need (like the university subway ticket and student id and things like that), so I tried to find it on the university’s homepage but without success. Therefore I called a friend who already is a student for several years to ask her if it’s normal that it takes so long and she told me that she thought I had to pay first and before october first. I was pretty shocked because I hadn’t even been sent the fee! So I kinda panicked a little and tried to call the university the next day but nobody was there, only one woman but she didn’t know anything (although she was very friendly and gave me a couple of numbers I could call). Sorry, but does ANYBODY work at university on fridays? I even called before 12 am!! But finally, FINALLY after what seemed like a 100 attempts to reach somebody, a woman took up the phone (I didn’t expect that, so at first I stammered around) and she told me that I would be send everything and that I didn’t have to pay yet because I will go there for the first time. I was SO relieved. And later that day I went down to go to the supermarket with my mom and what did I find in our mailbox? Exactly. A letter from university with everything I needed….I was like: “Are you kidding me?!” ><
I feel kinda confused about everything and I would really like to know WHEN I have to be WHERE…..I guess I’m gonna call there again on monday.
But we also had a very funny shopping day at the supermarket because I once won a credit note about 50 Euro, so we bought all the expensive stuff we would usually never buy (like: “aaahh these melon slices for 2,34 Euro…and this tasty instant chocolate cappuccino…^^”). That was fun!
And when we went to a mall today, I went into a shop which was decorated in such a cute way^^ Since the new Harry Potter came out today (the german version) they had spider-webs and dark satin and plastic spiders and stuff everywhere and the people who worked there wore witch-hats and wizard robes hahaaa ~~ It was so neat!!
What I’ve learned today:
It can be really relieving to be single – when I hear all the complaints from my friends who have boyfriends/girlfriends I begin to think that it’s pretty nice to be single…

I know exactly what you mean about things being so confusing for a first time student. We have "Freshman Orientation" here but since I changed schools I wasn't really considered a freshman anymore therefore didn't take freshman orientation and I had the hardest time figuring everything out. Don't worry, everything will work itself out. Oh, and I work for the University here and no, no one works on Fridays. :)
Hey chica, manchmal ist es echt besser keinen Freund zu haben. Die können einen echt auf die Nerven gehen. Aber, anderseits ist es auch schön, wenn man jemanden hat, der einfach nur für dich da ist und deine komischen Macken versteht.
