Schaffhausen II


I apologize a million times I've been busy recently. One reason might be the weather. It's definitely spring now, so I spend more time outdoors and less sitting in front of computers...
I met so many friends at the Lindli or in town, I can't even remember everyone. To some of them, let's call them A, B and C, I talked for a pretty long time:

A was my classmate at High School. He is going to a triathlon training camp in Mallorca for 2 weeks. In July he will go to a language school in Vancouver/CAN which made my a bit envious. I'd like to go to Vancouver as well some day.
B was also a classmate for the last year at High School. He is now studying architecture at ETH Zurich. He is living in Zurich, this is the reason I haven't seen him for ages. I guess the last time I saw him was at the graduation ceremony in 2004... Crazy, how the time is running.
C I know from sports but she as well is not living in Schaffhausen anymore. Right now she took a year off from uni to go to Brighton/GBR (I have to say you either love or hate this city. Nothing in between. I've been there for 3 weeks during High School and right then I would say I hated this city lying at the seafront. But now I really appreciate having been there) where she is working to get some practical experience.

Next time I will post the latest news about my trip to Stockholm and Oslo...

Schaffhausen I


Good news: On mondays my classes always start at 9am, so I don't have to get up that early. The new semester consists only of the following classes: physics, maths, chemistry and biology. Biology is mainly about the classification of animals and plants. Moreover I chose a dendrology course, which is the science of trees. Now I have to write a semester essay about a tree. I'll write about the most beautiful tree in our garden, a japanese cherry (Prunus serrulata).
Actually I have no idea why I have to choose such courses because they have nothing to do with my proper subject.

This week I immediately went back to Schaffhausen after classes to see my friends. As long as the weather was fine we went to the Lindli and enjoyed some ice cream.
