Hi guys! 

This winter is really great! I have a lot of work to do but I totally enjoy the classes and labs. Here some photos for you :).

some winter decorations I made :)

Our local shopping mall with a lot of christmas trees and lights

A cute dress I bought at Vero moda

I was helping out in the elder student course right before christmas. My classmates partner had to do something else so I was really exited to do his job ;) Our patient was also cool :) he held still for almost 5hours!

Honey cookies I baked for our semester christmas party :) I also baked cupcake reindeers which you can see in an older post.

Fix-it Felix Jr. game :D at the cinema I went to watch the movie Wreck-it Ralph. The movie is so great! I totally love it. The idea behind is really cool. And the music is from Owl City - When can I see you again? Awesome song!

Next weeks will be full of writing papers, getting through endodontics and studying for finals, finals and more finals. Wish me luck!

Take care!

This is what I baked for our semester #christmas party. #Cupcake #reindeers

How the #dentistry students use to spend their afternoon

Mexican breakfast

New coffee mugs in the uni cafe. Pretty cool.

First exams are over and here are some pics for you guys. 

I really love fall. This colors and cold wind.

Instruments I’m using in the clinic to treat my future patients

Implantology lab. This was so much fun. First we made some implantology planning and then we tried to implant our first implants on a fake jaw. For me it was like: WOOOW! I really can do something like this. So cool :D

I found this nice one at our local drugstore. Really great!

And now a few pics of Adam Young aka Owl City. My great inspiration :)

The quality is not that good because I took them with my smartphone and not with the SLR camera. 

But they’re still pretty cool :D I love ‘em.

Take care! 

Hey guys!

How was your holidays? I think it should be over for almost everybody by now. So it’s for me. The new semester started at my university this week on Monday. It was not a beginning, it was more like jumping into the pacific ocean somewhere near Seattle, where the water is so cold that the first thing you do after it touches your toe is screaming out loud.. imagined that? So it has been like that. We’ve already written 2 exams (clinic chemistry and pathology) this week. Next week should be a little bit calmer although I have to study for the first exam in cariology and prophylaxis on 12th November. Oh, oh, I almost forgot! There is also an exam coming next week. 

The week after that we’re going to get the first clinic orientation. So much looking forward to it! I really hope I can take some cool pics for my blog and write more..

Why I called this blog post ‘Something new, something old and a lot of fun’? 

1. I’ve visited som new places and got to know new people

2. I’ve also visited some places I know

3. I had so much fun!!! Have a look yourself :)

Have I written about San Francisco already? Probably not. I’ve been to SF 7 years ago and I literally left my heart there. It became something like a second home for me. You know, a place where you know what to do, where to go, where to eat, where to shop, which bus you take when you want to get from A to B without even looking at a map, how to talk to people etc. So this is SF to me. A lot of people say, typical for a tourist, when you would have to live here and work or study or whatever, you would see it’s not that great. Ok, I know this. The time I’ve spent there wasn’t just great all along. I had also some problems, but that’s not what I wanted to write about. 

You ask what I love about the city that I call it my second home? Well, everything! I love the architecture, the bridges (well, GGBridge more ;) ), the F Market streetcars and cable cars ringing around and MUNI cars with this woman voice in the subway going like: ‘Montgomery Station, K, inbound’. The people there, how they’re talking to you and how they walk around etc. there are a lot of homeless people, really a lot, I like these too. It’s sad that there are really that many, but if they weren’t there it wouln’t be San Francisco. I love the food there, the saturday farmer’s market, the coffee and all the vegan and organic food you can buy everywhere. The sounds, voices, noices there. How the city smells (I’m not crazy, it really has a typical smell). The ocean, the beaches, all the parks and green places there. 

And last but not least the fog! Most people hate it, but I love it! in summer when the fog gets really thick you can hear the fog horns. They are like a lullaby to me. And when you go running in the morning it’s really nice to feel the fog on your skin.

So I finally could go to San Francisco again this year. And it was just great! I couldn’t believe that I’m there until I got out of the BART at Powell station and got into the whole people mass out on the street. There was this typical SF smell and I instantly knew: ‘Man, I’m home!’ 

my running along the Ocean Beach

a lot of dentists in the city, maybe I work there someday too :)

Peet’s of course.. but I drank my coffee at The Coffee Bean And Tee Leaf more often

this is what I mean by people in San Francisco

a great saturday afternoon at Fort Mason Green

Hyde st

I just love the city! 

If you have some questions just feel free to ask me anything. 

Take care!

as a PS, there’s a photo from the first time I’ve visited SF

My oh my, how long has it been since I posted here.. I hope I can post more again from now on. A lot of things happened… I’ve started my clinical studies in the dentistry. Finally I’m studying about the things from real life and do almost everything I’ll be able to do in my future job :D. I’m really excited about this! unfortunately I couldn’t attend a practical course because of an accident this semester :(. I was kind of sad because all of my classmates are talking about nothing else. I felt kind of separated. But now that I’m almost as fit as a fiddle again I’m totally looking forward to doing the course in the next semester. 

About the accident: I twisted my right knee while skiing on April 7th and my anterior cruciate ligament got ruptured. Really bad! I’d had a knee splint for several weeks before and after the surgery. I got the knee surgery on 11th May. And it looked like this right after I woke from anesthesia

You don’t really want to know how it looked like under the bandage :D.

Now it’s 8weeks after the surgery and I can walk without the knee splint and almost as good as before the accident :). I was quite hard and I still can’t genuflect as much as before but it’s getting better every day.

This is the plush bunny I’ve got in the hospital:

And now some snapshots of the things that kept my mood up while I had the knee splint and couldn’t walk properly:

there’s a butterfly ;)

my rocker bunny Teddy

and Bubbles

big wheel at Bergkirchweih in Erlangen

my locker in the clinic :)

a really delicious sushi, dorayaki and sake at Hiro Sakao that I got on my birthday, yum yum yum

We also spent a weekend in Cologne. We visited the Dom of Cologne and some other sightseeing spots and found a hard rock café and starbucks :D a really great weekend :)

this california burger was the best thing I’ve ever eaten!! -.-

Coffee, Frappuccino and blueberry muffin ( I wasn’t able to eat anything on that day because of the venti frappuccino :D )

In the next 2 weeks I have my finals so I have to study from morning till twilight again.
