I cross all the seas, it's fine by me...

O sa fac o recapitulare rapida a celor mai importante lucruri din ultima vreme:

- in seara zilei in care m-am intors de la Berlin a ars o masina pe strada noastra. Panica initiala - pt ca era pe partea noastra si vedeam doar refexia flacarilor in gemurilor caselor de vis-a-vis, deci nu stiam daca arde o casa sau o masina - s-a transformat apoi intr-un amuzament general. Dupa ce am indraznit sa iesim afara, unde deja toata strada se stransese "ca la urs", am inceput sa filmam si sa facem diverse glume, pana cand pompierii si politia ne-au spus sa intram in casa. Oricum, banuim ca nu a fost un accident, ci o reglare de conturi ceva - Chris, polonezul, care are camera inspre strada, a auzit mai intai o lovitura, apoi a vazut niste persoane fugind. Dar nu avem cum sa probam varianta asta sau sa aflam rezultatul final al anchetei legale. Iata dovada:




- mi-am recuperat vocea, relativ usor (nu am mai vorbit asa des saptamana trecuta, a fost foarte greu sa fac asta), dar inca mai tusesc, desi nu a fost (si nici nu e) vorba de vreo raceala.

- week-endul trecut am fost la o petrecere intr-un club de aici si am fost tare suprprisa de ce muzica misto au bagat (techno & electro), aproape la fel de tare ca in Berlin...aproape! :D

- am terminat si am predat prima lucrare pentru cursul de International Terrorism! Tema a fost destul de interesanta: trebuia sa citim 3 articole si apoi sa decidem ce consideram ca este mai periculos acum - Al-Qaeda Central sau grass-roots terrorism (terrorismul la nivel local). Am facut destula cercetare si am vazut ca nu e asa dificil sa scrii ceva (relativ) original si sa vii cu idei si argumente bune (repet, trebuie sa citesti mai multe materiale!). Nu stiu totusi exact la ce rezultat sa ma astept, mai ales ca nu prea mi se pare ca as avea un limbaj prea academic, ci mai degraba lucrarea mea mi s-a parut potrivita pentru presa...Nu am idee exact cand voi afla punctajul obtinut, dar am inteles ca aici nu e ca in Romania, nu curge cu 9 si 10 (nici nu e aceeasi scala)...nu ca m-as fi asteptat la altceva...Oricum, am aflat ca daca faci prea multa cercetare in domeniul terorismului (de exemplu: sa te uiti la multe filmulete pe Youtube cu mesaje ale teroristilor) esti localizat si s-ar putea sa iti bata cineva la usa! :)) La cat am cautat noi zilele astea pe net...:D

- am primit si eu, in sfarsit, o vizita din Romania, a Alinei Smigun! Asteptam momentul asta inca din Berlin hahahahaha. Caci atunci cand ai mei au venit "sa ma recupereze" din Germania nu se pune (era obligatoriu sa vina) si nici cand au venit Alex si Gabel m-au vizitat de ziua mea (au calatorit din Danemarca, nu?). Dar despre asta o sa va povestesc in alt post...

- nu am fost sa votez, in final. O sa scriu despre asta in curand, tot pe scurt...

Am incheiat transmisiunea!

Briefly

I'll do a quick recap of the most important things that happened lately:

- in the evening I came back from Berlin a car burned on our street. The initial panic - it was on our side of street and we were able to see just the flames reflected into the windows of the houses across the street, so we couldn't tell if it was a car or a house - turned into a general entertainment. After we dared to go outside (all the neighbours where already there) we started filming and making jokes, until the Firemen and the Police told us to get inside. Anyways, we suspect it wasn't just an accident, but a gang thing - Chris, the Polish guy whose room is in the front of the house, heard first a stroke and then saw some persons running away. But we can't know if our version stands or not nor to find out the result of the legal investigation. However, you can see the proof above.

- I got my voice back, quite easy (I didn't speak so much last week, it has been pretty difficult to do that), but I still have a cough, though there wasn't (and isn't) any sign of flu.

- last week-end we've been to a party in a club downtown and I've been so surprised of the great music they had (techno & electro), almost as good as in Berlin...almost! :D

- I finished and submitted my first assignment for the International Terrorism lecture! The theme was interesting: we had to read 3 articles and decide what do we consider is more dangerous nowadays - Al-Qaeda central or the grass-roots terrorism. I did some research and I've seen it's not that difficult to write something original (more or less) or to come with good ideas and arguments (I repeat, you have to read as many sources as you can!). I still don't know what score I should expect, especially since I don't think I have a too academic writing style, rather my paper seems more appropriate for press...I have no idea when I'll find out the result, but I understood that here it's not like in Romania, to get only 9s and 10s (it's not even the same grading system)...not i would've expecting it any other way...However, I heard that if you do too much research regarding terrorism (for e.g.: watching too many movies on Youtube concerning messages of terrorists) you are being tracked and someone might know on your door! :)) And we did quite a research these days...:D

- I finally got a visit from Romania, of Alina Smigun! I have been waiting for this moment since i was in Berlin hahahahhahaha. Because when my family came to "pick me up" from Germany doesn't count (it was a must) and also when Alex and Gabel visited me on my B-Day (they travelled from Denmark, didn't they?). But I'll tell you more about this in a future post...

- I didn't go voting in the end. I'll write about this soon, briefly as well...

Transmission ending!
