Spain vs. Austria.

As you probably wondered, what the f**k is this guy doing all day long?!? Well, here's the answer:

As an Erasmus student, studying here for 5 month (officially), I need to achieve 15 ECTS credits in order to gain money from the association of Erasmus. For this reason I'm taking two courses - one in Spanish (which makes me very proud because I understand a lot) one in Catalan (unfortunately) - and of course I got myself my very own place in a research project as half research assistant other half PhD/Erasmus student. There is no explanation on my status. In fact, I'm the first Erasmus student at my faculty who is joining a research project. Therefore, some things got a little confusing and all the administrative stuff is a little weird since none really knows what to do. :-)
But, this is really amazing! For the first time of my life I'm treated like capacity. There is no longer this feeling of being just a stupid student that has to study way more things to conquer a state-of-the-art research assignment. People here are very kind and friendly and you get a warm feeling out of every conversation pretty soon. Unlike in Austria where you feel like a jackass as long as you don't have a damn long title in front of your name. In Spain this is really a bit different, as far as I have experienced by now. I really like that and I feel very comfortable with it. It's a lot of serious work to do but it makes me really happy.

That's the place where I'm working.

I need to do some laundry now but ""I'll be back"" soon with a more detailed explanation on what this project is about. It's pretty interesting so come back again soon! :-)

Escuela de rock!

If you are interested in rock and metal you should definitely give this guy a call!


Oh no, the deadline ran out. Sorry..
