Prior to me leaving, I want to mention, that the blogpost per day ratio is 1,25.

Thus you enjoyed one and a quarter post per day.

Weekend planing and other stuff

The weekend is coming up and we will leave for a short trip to Bavaria. You know this little country within Germany which doesn't really belong to Germany ;).

Since the math exam is coming up I will try to learn . On account of this I will take a lot of reading materials and other study related things with me.

Apart from that I also considered to take some belongings with me that will help me to focus on other topics than math. I already localised the following ones:

• Bikini, -the weather will be fine
• Violin, -I need to practise, the next lesson is on Monday and that's way earlier than the math exam :)
• Inline-Skates -without these I would violate my soon to be habit of training every day at least a bit.
• Website project -a litte practise can't hurt.
• MacBook -to write little post for my blog to keep the promise of one post per day in average.

I'll make a picture of what I have to read tomorrow mornig, and maybe one from the pile that is left on Sunday evening.

Word of the day

I learned a word today in German, one I didn't knew befor.
It's Eckspanner and it's a term for file folder with elastic bands like this one:

I first encountered the word because I shoped some office material for me and some colleagues. Not knowing the right term for this folder I ended up with the wrong ones.

Later the word arouse my interest because another colleague told me that this could also be a term for his dog.

Let's get to the bottom of this. The first part of the word "Eckspanner" is "Eck" which literally means corner.

The second part of the word is "spanner" which either means tightener or more colloquial voyeur.

Since his dog likes to observe people from the corner of the balcony he came up with this idea.

Here is a sketch for a more visual explanation:

The difference between should and is...

Yesterday I learned the difference between should and is ;) by thinking about the colour green.
Take a look:This difference is as every year quite predictable. Each year more and more people come to visit the free open air festival "Das Fest". This year the attendance number reached ca. 400000 people.

Quote of the day

Sow a thought, reap an action. Sow an action, reap a habit. Sow a habit, reap a character. Sow a character, reap a destiny (Steven Covey)

In times like these...

I've learned recently that in times like these it is crucial to invest part of your portfolio in gold.

In case a part of your portfolio is all what is left

or you don't have a portfolio, here are some possibilities how to invest your money:

Geeky tools:

It's nice small and can connect you to others. In other words it's kind of an address book. The first step into the modern way of exchanging addresses and personal information is buying a Poken (that's the plastic thing shown above). After this a profile needs to be created and that's it.

Sharing your information is easier than ever, you just need to find someone who owns a Poken as well. This part can be tricky because some people's answer might be: "No I don't and I don't want to have one. You know, I just don't like hypes."

Having found one you just need to hold both of them together to exchange the data.

Yourself:

You'll find something, I found this:

Swedish grammar, in hope that it will help me to understand all of it someday.

Fitness stuff:

Last time I bought strap on weights for my arms and a skipping rope. This time it's a DVD.

Other stuff:

I won't tell you for what we bought the paint until it's finished :).

;) Yummy.

Das Fest

Today we went on a festival called "Das Fest" to watch "Schandmaul" playing and to take some pictures. To sum it up it was a great evening. 

Being exausted I'll go to bed soon ;). Hope your day had been exciting too.
