[real life up­date]
Present­ly I am in my very fi­nal se­mes­ter of my un­der­grad­u­ate ed­u­ca­tion.

Grant­ed, it has tak­en 6 years be­cause of switch­ing ma­jors – tak­ing com­mu­ni­ty col­lege stu­dent gov­ern­ment too se­ri­ous­ly and get­ting a mi­nor here in Ger­many but I am fin­ish­ing up.

For pos­ter­i­ty, I want­ed to men­tion my fi­nal se­lec­tion of class­es be­cause I kind of love them this time. I am tak­ing: A ‘The­o­ries of Myth’ class – where we an­a­lyze the struc­ture and com­po­si­tion of these an­cient sto­ries, talk about cog­ni­tive bias and the cre­ation of truth!

Then two class­es on gen­der, one of which is in Ger­man and ti­tled ‘Gen­der & Glob­al­iza­tion’ which is re­al­ly hard and com­pli­cat­ed, the oth­er which is called ‘The­o­ries of Gen­der and Their Pol­i­tics: Fem­i­nist and Queer The­o­ry.” I am so ex­cit­ed about this class. The teacher is pret­ty much a wiz­ard from Yale, with long grey hair, who speaks 5 lan­guages and is crazy wise.

Oh and I am in an up­per in­ter­me­di­ate Ger­man lan­guage class.

My fi­nal class is kind of iron­ic, and it took the most wran­gling in or­der to be al­lowed to take it, it’s a mas­ter lev­el Eng­lish com­po­si­tion course. The theme of the pa­pers so far is Eng­land and it’s sense of na­tion­al­ism.

There’s where I am at right now. In ad­di­tion to this I am prep­ping for Kiez Burn, a Berlin fes­ti­val that was in­spired by Burn­ing Man. I’m one of the or­ga­niz­ers for our ‘Flow Camp’ and am tak­ing care of dec­o­ra­tions and the kitchen.

[fan­ta­sy life up­date]
Next month I am re­al­ly look­ing for­ward to a larp called Where An­droids Die, where I am play­ing a slight­ly crack­pot ro­bot.

On top of this my D&D game has been run­ning each week with a few new play­ers and the plot has been de­light­ful, hor­ri­fy­ing and en­gag­ing.

Sim­i­lar­ly I am writ­ing a LARP to take place at my old col­lege in Cal­i­for­nia. I have put forth a pro­pos­al to bor­row the de­sign build­ing for a week­end and let a lot of my for­mer class­mates get the chance to play to­geth­er.

Thanks for read­ing this up­date, it is a bit long and I’m glad you care. ♥
