And so I am deeply thankful for having the possibility to study at a university.

Sport

Bereits neulich wollte ich hier etwas zum Thema Sport schreiben. Nun bekommt man am Rande die Debatte in Social Media zum Thema “Völkerball” und der Empfehlung des Verbots dieses Spiels im Schulsport durch kanadische Forscher mit (zum Beispiel hier). Ein guter Punkt also, um anzusetzen. Ich gehöre zu den Menschen, die nie gut im Sportunterricht… Read More Sport

Kein Make-Up

Ich habe diese Woche einen Artikel gelesen, in dem es darum ging, dass die britische Fluggesellschaft Virgin Atlantic die Make-Up Pflicht für ihre Stewardessen abschafft. Warum ist das so ein Ding? Warum fühle ich mich als Frau quasi dazu verpflichtet, Make-Up aufzutragen, wenn ich rausgehe? Warum denken wir, Frauen seien dadurch schöner? Ich selbst trage… Read More Kein Make-Up

But let’s start with Monday.… Read More Orientation week(s)

Sailing

On a traditional sailing ship. Again. Like in the last three summers too. We went to Kiel to start our sailing trip from there. The ship was called “Oban” – a wonderful one with lots of space (at least for a ship of that kind). I slept with a friend in the cabin under the… Read More Sailing

Morocco II

The way to the desert goes through the mountains of the atlas. Our first small stop was at a restaurant to have tea. The view was breathtaking! the route was bendy and seemed endless. We made another stop at a cooperative for organ oil and a woman explained how it is made. In Ouarzazate we… Read More Morocco II

Morocco I

Summer means time for traveling. In the last years I have worked for an association in german-french-moroccan holiday camps for teens. This year as well. But this year was special because it was the first time we went to Morocco. My travel began on a Sunday. Our voyage was supposed to start on Wednesday but… Read More Morocco I
