ABOUT ME

Struggling full-time foreign student in Germany. Sushi addict. Avid anime/sci-fi/fantasy reader/watcher. Closet geek. Licensed Scuba diver. Health freak. Travel bug. Frustrated philologist. Wanna-be musician. Fun lover.

PHILOSOPHY

It's hard to explain my personal philosophy, but perhaps these quotes can help:

"Vielleicht gibt es schönere Zeiten, aber diese ist unsere." (Jean-Paul Sartre)

"Zwei Dinge sollen Kinder von den Eltern bekommen: Würzeln und Flügel." (Goethe)

"Que sera, sera." (title of a song)

"Hakuna Matata." (Timon and Pumbaa)

OK, maybe the quotes didn't help. :D

It's hard to write my philosophy down because it tends to change. As of now, this is my philosophy: if I see two paths before me, I will make a third.
