News from the front

Sigh… I have so much stuff to do so I’m still not able to care about this blog that much though I’d really like to improve so many things on this site. Currently I’m pretty packed with working on my diploma thesis in information management (Wirtschaftsinformatik) so I have to read a lot of sources. Thanks to my idea writing it this time in LaTeX, I spend a lot of time for finding out how this anti WYSIWYG system works correctly. Darn page layout, you…

I have my HSK test in two weeks. I still have to practice a lot if I don’t want to score low, though it looks like it’s really not too hard for me. Though I can do quite well in the reading part, listening sometimes still troubles me due to words I haven’t learned yet or the different pronunciation that I’m used to in class.

My class by the way is great: We are 8 people who range between 16 to approx. 45yrs, among these it appears that I’m the only one who hasn’t travelled to China yet. The level of teaching speed is pretty fast so if you are serious with learning Chinese, the Konfuzius Institut (孔子学院,中国中心) in your local town is the best way. It’s way better than the German “Volkshochschule” or my Foreign Language Institute at my university (though my teacher was great there, too).

I’ll try to post some pictures of it one day. Meanwhile, I should finish the redesign of a local soccer club by the end of this week.

Since this is my first serious job for which I am well fairly compensated, I should do the best. After that finished project, I should set up a little portfolio just in case.
