today i’ll finally get the results for my “english I” language class. tbh with y’all, i’m really excited, especially because there’s up to 70 applications for classes like this, although the class only fits about 25 people. it’s also enormously important for the whole of my bachelors degree.
later today we will have the official freshmen welcoming by our mayor with music and prayers and all the german stuff you can imagine in an event as big as this. we also get our infamous “erstitüten” which are basically goodie bags with all kinds of stuff for the freshmen. upper classmen come to the event just to get one for themselves.
after all of that ends i’ll probably go to a pub crawl organized by the education department, one of the biggest departments in my university. my department is also up there because it overlaps with the education department, i have most of my classes together with future english teachers and businesswo/men.
in my major though, there are actually less than 40 people. i’ve seen less than 20 of them up until now, but they all seem like really nice people. i’m actually relieved that i will never get used by my teacher as a substitute again. i enjoy being average. everyone is just like me, speaks english just as good as me and is interested in the same stuff as me. i found my crowd.
