suchen einen Platz

i guess it's time to settle down now. the day after Startkurs ended, people had already left for home. i had a small dinner get-together with Shiori, Adam and Diana. things started to unwind. Tuesday we had a more official dinner from Shiori, Miho and Asahi in Fichtenweg.

the photos aren't great. i'm still learning the new lens. apparently it is much more sensitive to color, especially in combination with the low light. i've also found how the short DoF can be have a lot of contrast in close quarters.


still, it's nice to focus (on content) more. editing these images gave me a new perspective on my environment over here. it is definitely not as wild as the Sommerkurs. since i took these photos, David has had an italienisch Abendessen and i've begun planning an amerikanisch Grillparty while the weather is still nice. it will be interesting to see how our networks develop.


maybe i just have a complex where i always think i'm different, but it seems a little off since i've been in Tübingen longer than others and established friends all over the place. i had to leave dinner before all the fun started to try meeting my StudIT mentor, Jasmin (unsuccessful AGAIN). i spent most of the trip to Stuttgart bouncing between Startkurs people, my roommate's friends and StudIT staff. i left David's dinner for Elisée from Sommerkurs. by the time i finally met Tandem partner Gregor yesterday, i didn't even know who i was.

maybe i just need to get a cell phone.
