Sorry guys,
nothing happens around here. Well, I mean, I will try to think of something, but so far nothing has come to my mind.
I almost bought an ancient clarinet yesterday (for 100 Euros), but fortunately I was reminded that (a) I had no idea how to assess the quality of that instrument (I couldn't even figure out how to play the high octave) and (b) that I had already been called by my bank, telling me unpleasant things about the state of my account. I guess, I had underestimated how expensive it was to leave the USA -- paying for additional luggage, the flight, etc.
Anyways. I'm meeting a bunch of old friends, which is kind of nice. And I'm gonna leave for Paris in a month, which by now seems really crazy to me. Man, Paris. I haven't had a second to further search for an internship there. What will I be doing then all that time? I guess, I should write a philosophy paper on Kant. But that will inhibit any improvement in the French language. Writing in French on Kant, though, would be really ridiculous. But I already wrote on Descartes, I think, and I feel that most other French philosophers are not very highly valued in Göttingen... Also I can only think of one professor who might accept a paper in (bad) French. Whatever. We'll see.

I think it's funny Jochen is writing to you in English. Anyway, my plane arrives in Paris Sept 3 at 8:40am. Don't be late!
Hej carissima, mittlerweile hat sich die aktuelle Betreffszeile aber ganz schön überholt! Aber da Du so schrecklich im Stress bist, könnte ich ja schon fast anbieten, zwischen meinen schlaflosen Phasen (die Korrekturen sind fertig! Juhu!) mal ein paar Lebenszeichen in Dein Blog zu setzen. Also auf jeden Fall hat Christina vergangene Woche die Hauptstadt besucht,und die aktuelle Woche ist auch ziemlich aufregend, vermute ich mal... Wie lief es denn? Hast Du gesehen, dass der SZ-Artikel zum Kongress auch davon spricht, dass das ICC nach James Bond anmutet? Ob der Redakteur uns wohl belauscht hat? Wie dem auch sei, die gespanntesten Grüße aus der Stadt der Spannungslosigkeit. (Oder soll ich neuerdings in Poeten-Englisch bloggen? Hab den Text in aller Schüchternheit immer noch nicht losgemailt.)
