Rien ne va plus

Finally! I handed in my thesis today. Now I can't do anything but wait for the result. The mean thing is that I won't get to know the result before the defence. After reading my thesis in detail the two professors will "invite" me to have the defence of it. There I'll have to present in brief the results and afterwards they will ask me questions. Usually that lasts between 30 and 45 minuts. I don't know yet when that will be because professors are soooo busy;-)


For those who are interested in details: My thesis is a feasibility study for an extension to the existing water treatment system at Volkswagen de México. Really interesting... :-)

Looking back

After one month at home (one month but one day) I guess it's time to look back a bit at my time in Mexico. I don't look for a basket in the bathroom any more and driving according to rules is easier than I thought (it's really relaxing driving in Germany no matter how much traffic) but:

• It's hard to be one time. I really don't expect any more that people are punctual.
• You can't untwist German beer bottles.
• Food I considered hot before isn't hot any more.
• I forget to speak in a low voice sometimes... (The people in the cinema were quite annoyed!)
• No trips on weekends any more (I'm still working on my thesis and looking for a job).
• Sometimes I think people could be kinder.
• I wonder about many people who complain about their situation.
• I still confuse "y" and "z" on the keyboard.

That's what just came to my mind. I guess there is more... (to be continued)
