Hello everyone and good morning, here's degree
times 8am, but like every morning I pinto with tea and fruit for the first time, what do you mean night you have done for so
:-) And before I go into the program (9 am is yet another introduction), I wanted to nor my last day to post so you know that I am still around.
And a reminder, I'm still, someone has tried Wednesday to call me - but I unfortunately missed the call (sorry). By forwarding on Skype I do not see the caller's number. So please, please call again or send a mail - thanks :-)
it, then have fun reading!
Sunday, 09/08/2009 - math ... or something ...
Sunday has once again started very relaxed. At 7 I was awakened by the train, but was back to sleep well. Around 8, the apartment As always showered on me, but even then I could very well continue snoozing ... until the bell rang at 8:30 the alarm clock.
then made comfortable NEN tea, turned on compiler and checked mail. At about 12 I am slowly eating in the cafeteria at noon and since then I have also taken equal to 2 students, so we are at about half past 2 together for math course.
math was in school so clearly one of my strengths and I've also made it really always liked. No kidding! In the BA, I must confess I was no longer quite so good - but I understood math yet ... up to the present day!
The Prof, a very sympathetic and relatively young man, has handed out small "day scripts, and begun in reasonably clear English lecture to ... after he first repeated several times that it is a voluntary course - I think the buck ... no
had any case, the script (as expected) in English, which has attended the first challenge. Or has anyone of you have heard of times "derivatives" or "convexity"? But as Math = Math is in any language - so I thought - I was starting to very optimistic. The longer the course is gone, the more doubt I get it. For example > The GDP of a country which N (t) = tt t +5 +106 dollars t years after 1995th At what rate was the GDP with respect to changing time in 2003? \u0026lt; be honest, I do not even understand the question and I think there are also missing some information. But that's not enough, the Prof is also the rather confused by the variety and therefore raises the other variables like the time ... very fun, if only you anyway half understood.
To my relief, I am not the only one who understood only station. The majority of the course may not follow ...
any event, we hope, therefore, that the level of math course based on what we need is, or that we repeat the necessary things slow again (who can also 3 in 1 Topics hours and take 3 hours?).
After class, then had the chance to get to know other people from the course, which I also used the same and with a group of about 16 people (including the other German and the Swiss / Italian) am in the cafeteria. That was really funny - and because after that it was not too late, we all have a short trip into the dormitory for local students made.
I'm still complaining that we have only now and then hot water and my room is really super super mini ... I will never again complain about my dorm! ! NEVER NEVER AGAIN! The Dorm, where the Chinese students are housed resembles a prison - but a Turkish on the variety!
per room (approx 16sqm) stay 3 people. So there are 3 bunk beds and desks including 3. And that's it. On each floor there is also a laundry room - with cold water. And to the showers, the residents need to go to another building (where there is only cold water). Ehrlich: never, never again will I complain!
For comparison, a series of images: first the room at the Local Dorm, then 2 shots of my room ... And? Do you find the differences?
Monday, 09/07/2009 - Introduction ... again
This morning at 8.30am was at math. This time it was about functions and their derivation. Again, the examples were so turned off that it made me more confused than it would have helped. And even though I've already learned something 2 times (and really understood and may have!). So I've decided in the first break to prefer to go to the dorm and I read through the documents there in peace.
The time is then gone and really have to 12pm I scared determined that we at 13h again the next Introduction (this time on the IMBA Program) have. So I quickly threw in quickly peel and eat from the cafeteria to what. From there, then in no time back to the SEM Building and ... I was a good 15 minutes too soon ... phew!
Introduction This was then, fortunately less boring than the two before that. were And apart from that, the films turned over too quickly, it has also helped me this time. Thus, we have experienced as of the various activities and professors. Not quite bad.
Next to me was a Chinese (Cici) and asked me about the Introduction, if I feel like introducing them to come to the library. I got it!
Get on your wheels and then go to the Bib - where we have only just missed the leadership, which is why we are even going to 4t the building are to explore: not bad and really beautiful, but also very confusing. Good thing all the business books are not here but in the SEM are * happy *
On the way back to the dorm I was followed quickly by going shopping. Not so easy let me tell you ... but at least I've got salt and shampoo (even though I still do not know if the shampoo is good from what I can see nothing). But I tell you ... 
Another surprise: my roommate has emerged. This girl I'm going to so notify the months of kitchen and bathroom. Just a pity that she does not speak English ...
Tuesday, 09.08.2009 - More Introduction
morning was back to math - the day may be better ? begin! Theme this time were functions and their derivatives. I think we have time in the 9th Class made and then I understood it really well. The "simple" examples we have here, however, it's really no wonder that we are all mostly with riiiiesengroßen question mark there ... but ... today was a bit (!) Better than on Monday.
But that's really depressing, and I consider myself as a person who has understood the math pretty well so far. And what we are doing here is actually not new to me. It's just a) too long ago and b) in English and c) to explain complicated.
has meant since the teacher but he would eh teach a very very high level (and we would need most of it probably never again), I'm still relaxed ... ...
noon I got me then the "canteen group connected. We went to math in one of the canteens. Since I'm greasy Chinese food'm sorry really slow, I ordered my soup. And that was really really delicious! After dinner (half a second down after the last out has his fingers - Chinese spend less time at dinner) we went to the dormitory of one of the students (because we have good time 30min had and it was close). I told you already of the dorms of the "Local MBA Students" tells, is not it? Prisons - the Turkish way! was
noon there for 2 hours the next Introduction. This time, the Alumni Program at the university. Objectively, this is a very exciting topic, since one of the alumni and the mentoring program can make many contacts. Unfortunately, the presenters have not really taken over but so, so much talk around the bush and sleep-out and obsolete ... In short, it was anything but inspiring and exciting ...
evening I was so tired of cafeteria food (kitchen to cook itself, I have unfortunately not), I've talked with David me to go eat outside. We then went to "The Bridge". This is served such a restaurant / coffee shop, the European food. And I say, salad and pizza have rarely tasted so good! Since we are the Dorm to The Bridge 30min walk went well, we did not run after eating the same again back. Gabs ne student bar next door and since then we have even indulged in beer and chatted n. That was a good ending to an uneventful day!
Wednesday, 09/09/2009 - Achoo!
The Wednesday then, unfortunately, has started less glorious: (! On Tuesday though I NEN sweater and jacket had to ne), I woke up with sore throats and colds. To this was added that I have not really slept all night ... well
Nevertheless, I was sitting at 8.30 time in math - and I also held out ... at least until the second break. Since then I felt so bad that I went to the Dorm ... and only slept for two hours.
The lecture was then more or less exciting. Especially great were the whole "this is a very important system for you, ask you notice the website - But is only in Chinese. " And intended as the woman (in broken English) she will send the presentation around, our attention was finally over.
15h we were then dismissed in order and I would really like to immediately go home to bed. But ... we still had the official "photo taking" because we felt a total of only 100 passport photos have been submitted to the Uni ...
And to the amusement of my fellow students I had, of course, on a picture will stretch out the tongue ... was clear ;-)
But then everything was finally finished and I was again in 17h against Dormitory and shortly after 19h in bed.
Thursday, 09.10.2009 - 2 times Hurra
morning, I am also feeling a little better. And much more It was after the shower. Therefore one must know: we have here "shower time" and only in these times there is hot water shower. However ... the water is scalding hot then. I previously had the choice between ice cold and brühendheiß - and between ("bearable") were second. But today * hurray * I have for the first time (!!!) lukewarm shower * happy *
After this success, went to experience it ... no, this time I skipped math ... to the underground station. Since I was in fact with Ken, a friend of Uwe from Nuremberg * wave wave *, agreed. That's a week here and there we have decided today to take. At half past 10 we are together for breakfast (with normal breakfast sandwich and coffee!) And then a taxi to the Summer Palace.
The Summer Palace is located in north-west of Beijing and therefore not too far away from my university (the Old Summer Palace "follows on directly to the campus and even back then everything was here rieeeesiger Park). 6 sqm area with well (Middle of the city!) It is also of far visible and one of the main attractions of the city, because here is her, the emperor moved back when it is in the city became too hot.
centerpiece is a large lake (semi-natural Urspruch). In the lake there are several small islands with temples and you can also take a pedal boat or by "dragon boat" on the lake. But the really impressive is the palace that overlooks the whole (see picture). The buildings are just gorgeous, and even that you know that they mostly are replicated, it makes no less impressive. The euphoria, however, slowed down a bit, that a) an incredible number of people are on the road, b) is not inside the palace can and c) a building looks like any other.
(NEN times just so you get small taste - really, I could still post a lot more great pictures)
run
After a good 5 hours on the road around and take pictures, we were also quite at the end. And I'm really proud of us because we have not let the taxi drivers still get caught when he tried to have double the fare * happy *
counter 15h is Kerstin has also have to say goodbye (she wanted all also still see the Bird's Nest and I had in my next Introduction). was
Shortly before 4 then also "Introduction to Career Development Centre" is announced - but not until I was in ner pharmacy to pick up something against the common cold (I think by now I had even to get a fever). And you know what? This is my 2nd "Hurrah for today, because even without Chinese knowledge I've got Aspirin + C (and immediately smashed).
From 15:45 to 17:45 was then so fashionable Nr.122392364 Introduction. And miracle oh miracle, although that was super long (@ Uwe: We had to cancel for such statistics immediately!) But really very helpful.
To Do Next was "take food," then. And again I was lucky, because my two Indian students have an Indian restaurant nearby gefunden und haben mich mitgenommen. Und das war wirklich wirklich gute und indische Küche!
Frisch gestärkt konnten wir dann um 19Uhr auch den Ausführungen zum Thema „Business Etiquette Training“ lauschen. Und das war einfach nur super spaßig; der Referent war ein hoch angesehener Stylist und der hat uns verraten, welche Farbtypen es gibt und was man in Business in China (nicht) tragen kann. Ich war übrigens eine richtige Herausforderung für ihn: warme, helle und bunte Farben *lach*
Soweit so gut also für die letzten Tage. Der Schnupfen is not quite gone this morning, but a bit better. Well, now I must hurry, since I only have 15 minutes ...
Love, Victoria
