It seems that nearly all my favorite people here on Livejournal have updated yesterday which is all shades of wonderful. I felt bad for neglecting LJ for so long but I think I can once again use my journal to goad myself into working.
I have finally worked through the superfluous pain of my college failure of the last months. I nearly failed the oral lecture two weeks ago and then maybe you recall that Obama paper I worked on sooooo long and which muhsilisk and usomitai were so kind to look at? Despite alerting my lecturer that I would have to hand it in late, he didn't accept it and so I flunked. He of course told me that I couldn't hand it in late only after I handed it in and not at the time when I e-mailed him about the delay (which was still long before the dealine). Anyway, now I have to write a new paper but I went to another lecturer because I was so angry at myself and at him too because I have experienced it many times that it lies very well in their discretionary power to accept paper (in my case only ten days) late. (Ha, convoluted sentence! Eat this, twitter!)

So, new topic. Conrad, Baudrillard, Raod narratives. Deadline: October, 30th. Personal dealine: October, 23rd. Now that the theatre play I was working on as assisting director has premiered, I'm gonna make it!

In other news, I'm gonna be a tutor this year. I have before worked as a tutor to explain first year students how they should write papers (see, that kinda didn't really fit, did it?) and how the whole university circus worked.
But now I'm a tutor working on real texts and films of the introductory culture course. Of course, the payment is lousy.
I will also teach a real course together with a colleague. "Online-Journalism with Podcasts", the last time we only had four participants because we offered it so late in the year but this time it looks really promising and we changed a lot of the structure. Does anyone of you have teaching advice? It's hard for me to teach/tutor people who are of about the same age as I am.

Below is another one of the photos I took in London. It's been exposed too long and is all shaky but I still really like the structure. Big Ben and the Houses are just as impressive as I've always imagined they would be.
