today's lesson

Due to the fact that there are so many ignorant, retarded, dishonest, shallow, untrustworthy and intolerant people on this planet, I genuinely appreciate the presence of the few who are the exact opposite, like all of my friends and my family. However, I'll continue to go my own way (because I know it's gonna be successful) and stay true to myself and to all these people out there who are important to me. And I give a big FUCK YOU to the rest.

But what today's lesson has taught me: everybody gets what he/she deserves.

Keep it real!

only human

the last couple of weeks were like a rollercoaster ride... ups and downs and ups and downs... I've been socializing a lot and had plenty of time to observe other peoples' behavior and reflect on my life - even during one of my final exams, haha.
In this time, I realized even more what I want and what I DON'T want and I've figured out that I made some mistakes. Some things I said and did were wrong and probably inappropriate, I know that by now.  It seems as if I needed this time to improve my personality and to learn from my mistakes.

Bottom line: I'm only a guy and I'M ONLY HUMAN

Last class at VCU (?)

Today was my last class at VCU and I think this last class (ECON 203) was a worthy end to my (first) semester abroad. I was surprised that my professor knew my name (in a lecture of 300+ students) after we only had one short conversation at the very beginning of the semester. It seems as if I've left a mark, haha.
When I told him I don't want to take the final exam because I already have a solid B (Midterm + average Aplia grades), he told me: "Man, that's smart" and used me as an example of how to use your resources carefully.
Additionally, he told me "This is America, you can do whatever you want, man" when I decided to stay for this very last class.

By the way, the final question in this class was: "Professor, what's your favorite beer?" and he answered this question with the marginal revenue model and with his beer consumption being at the very bottom of the MR curve. Simply hilarious.

Next week I'm gonna have a beer with my two ECON Professors, after I've already had beer with my literature (!) professor.

I really like(d) the easy-going way of my professors at VCU because that's just the way I am as well. It's all about having a good time.


Honestly, I can't imagine studying in Austria (or returning to Austria) at the moment... and who knows, maybe I'll return to VCU for a graduate program... For now, it's my #1 option. But let's see what the future brings...
