Can I use BSc instead of Bakk.techn.?

After all stress and panic I have managed to pass my exam. It sounds impossible? It’s INCREDIBLE (at least to me). And I am very happy that it is over, but I cannot believe it until I hold my certificate in hands. Nevertheless I can use my new title only after getting this certificate, until that moment I will try to find out if I can use BSc instead of the title Bakk.techn. I want to look more “international“.

Currently I am looking forward to the dinner today. Sushi (especially in the restaurant KAI) has always been my favourite food. My stomach feels empty and grumbles but it’s still 7 hours ’til evening. How can I stay without something to eat for such a long time?

At least I have now holidays for 5 days to concentrate again on learning and to prepare my presentations for the exam. I will also try to get some time away from all this stuff by wandering or maybe jogging (I am completely out of form).

I hope that I will get more time to create a new design for Dol-Guldur, Ankantoiel’s Diary and some other projects after the next week, but as far as I see it’s getting worse with stress in the future.

I arrived on Friday with Wolfgang, Miriam and Monika from Salzburg. They picked me up at the train station in Salzburg and together we made our way to Burg Kreuzen in Oberösterreich (very near to the borders of Niederösterreich).

It was a really big welcome that was followed by a very interesting and funny workshop concerning “Smith of Wootton Major“. Julia had the wonderful idea to bake 24 muffins. It was bad luck that the small Elvish star that should lead to the Elvish realm was in the last muffin that noone had eaten. It was a sign that noone of us eligible to enter that fairy land.

In the evening we made a big bonfire and a BBQ, and late in the night the Hall of Fire took place.

Saturday was dominated by cool weather (and sometimes rain) and a lot of workshops. Beside stitching, we designed T-Shirt and Banners with heraldics or Tengwar that we could also learn at this day.

In the afternoon I made my first experiences with bow and arrow and took an oppressed left arm back home. It was more or less blue from the string that bounced against it. But well, I guess that I am not Legolas if we are talking about archery. Nevertheless it made a lot of fun, and at least I was better in Vicings (if we oversee that the my first shot knocked the king over).

The evening was again spent in the Hall of Fire where late the great Tolkien quiz took place and near the bonefire (it was still cold but without rain). My group “Finlandia” could finally win that very tough quiz (thanks to Julia that knew so much).

Sunday was the day of saying farewell, but it was not bitter good-bye everyone was eager to meet again at the “Hütte des Vergessenen Spiels” or at least at the “Mereth Ethuil” (the spring feast of the ÖTG).

For me it was a really great weekend where I met a lot of new people. A big thanks to Barbara tfor teaching me stitching and taking me back to Kufstein. I am very excited to see everyone again very soon.

PS: I promised to take some photos, but after 15 pics the batteries ran low. I am really sorry about that, but I hope to get some better pictures from Peter.

Nevertheless I always try to change here and there some small things on the website, but these changes are very tiny (so you may not see them). I was thinking about changing the layout again, but nothing fitted me and so I decided to let the site at it is now. Maybe I find time to create a new layout or at least to ajust a free Wordpress layout (what I personally don’t want to do) in the future (what could mean the next week or next year ).

Well this weekend is finally coming and with it the Lasse Lanta (as I told you in my last post). I only fear that the weather will be poor, maybe too poor to shout with bow and arrow and to make a BBQ. The weather forcast speaks of rain and very low tempertures. Hopefully my cloak will keep me warm. A cold would be the last thing I need, not with four weeks ahead where I have to learn for my exam.

I will promise to make some photos, not only because I want to test the “new” digicam from my parents.

A news in own interest:
Currently I am selling my first Elven gown on Ebay. It’s as good as new, I wore it only 5-times because I got another one, and now I have no longer place in my wardrobe.
Please have a look at this auction: Auction on Ebay.at

I am really excited that I get the possibility to attend the Lasse Lanta (what simply means Falling of the leafs) of the Austrian Tolkien Society. It’s over 4 years ago that I spent a wonderful weekend with my friends at the Burg Kreuzen in Oberösterreich, and I am quit sure that this year will get better. The workshops sound great especially the training with bow and arrow. I fear I will badly lose.

This weekend I will go to the medieval market in Golling, but this time with out my dress and only for Sunday. I hope I will meet there my friends from the ÖTG. Last years market was really great, but well let’s see how the new location in Golling will change that (to better or worse).
