Wishing Stars

A while ago I tried to order a book about wishing star folding which unfortunately
wasn’t available. Therefore I searched the web for a good folding instruction page.
I found some which at first glance seemed to be really good but turned out being
useless. By coincidence I found a good instruction a couple of days ago and I
finally managed to fold my first wishing star! I just have to fold the remaining 99
until I can make my wish which is much better then 1000 paper cranes! I don’t
actually believe in it but the folding will be fun.

Ohio State U merchandise

I was downtown looking for a new sweater. In one of the shops they sold besides normal t-shirts also t-shirts from Ohio State U designed by mexx. Why would I by a t-shirt from Ohio State U in Germany?

The abbreviation of abbreviation

Looking Up stupid little things I actually know. Like today the abbreviation of abbreviation. I just wanted to make sure that it is like I thought it would be. The funny thing was the note about the abbreviation of abbreviation: abbreviation [abbr.: abbr.] itself. Can you see my point here?

I've been censored

Today I noticed, that a good friend of mine deleted one of my comments I made in her blog. I have no clue why. It wasn’t something bad. I wasn’t teasing her either. It was just a note about spending money for a fancy dress and some concerns about luggage limitations on airplanes. I can’t see any reason why someone would delete this comment. Is there an unwritten comment codex for blogs?

My new office

I’ve got my own name plate on my first office door, after several people criticizing, that my name isn't J.S.! Looks great! I also got my own mailbox not a shared one for grad students, no my very own! I have a nice office on the 8th floor with a great view. It just needs some pictures on the wall, but that shouldn’t be a problem ;-)
