Formula 1 - second update

I know, the guideline said no posts will be accepted after midday June 21st, but I had to wait for the Qualification to take place until I could write this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello,

Today was the day of the qualification of the Austrian GP. While Williams did an excellent job, Red Bull - especially Vettel - failed findind the right setup.

At 1400 the first quali session started. As the previous races had shown, Mercedes was ahead of all the others. Williams did an excellent job.. But ... Even in Q1 Red Bull failed. Vettel ended up being on P15.

Q1 was disappointing for Red Bull too. While Ricciardo did a great job, Vettel just was not fast enough.

Q3 really was interesting to watch. Williams managed winning the Pole Position. Hamilton, however, couldn't manage producing a good lap and didn't set a time. Williams deserves winning the Pole, though.

After the Qualifying session, we watched the GP2 race. It was interesting to watch...since I didn't know any of the. Drivers, it was a bit confusing, though.

All in all, I had a great day :-)

Formula 1 update

You all know that I am in Spielberg for the Formula 1 Grand Prix this weekend. On Friday, we were there for the Publik pit Walk. After waiting for 2.5 hours, we finally could enter the Pit Lane and see the teams prepare for the racing weekend. Also we could see one team, Caterham, exercising their pit stops. 

On Friday we watched the free practice session, which was interesting. Mercedes was ahead of all the others. Red Bull was struggling and ended up being on position 6 and 7. the most shocking thing, though, was the face that Formula 1 isn't as loud as it was before. :o

I am gonna give you another update today in the evening after the Qualifying tool place.

Formula 1 in SPIELBERG - I've got the tickets

I know this is my 1232300124^th post relating to Formula 1, but I’ve got awesome news. However, first of all I want to talk about the previous races.

The last race probably was the most interesting one of this season. The start, the crash in the first lap,… Everything was just interesting to watch. From lap 37 on, Mercedes was struggling with problems concerning their break by wire system, which led to the fact that Lewis Hamilton couldn’t finish the race. Rosberg, however did an incredible job and finished the race on the second position. But who won the race? None of the experts expected that to happen. Daniel Ricciardo scored his first victory. I am so happy for him. He definitely deserves it.. not only because my favorite team is Red Bull Racing. He is an excellent driver.

And, the most important thing.. do you know what’s happening next weekend? Of course … next weekend the Formula 1 Grand Prix is going to take place in SPIELBERG and I’ve got the tickets J so, I’m gonna be there to watch it.

On Thursday we are going to join the Public Pit Lane Walk. There you can watch the teams prepare their cars for the racing weekend. On Friday we are going to watch the second training session, on Saturday the third training session and the Qualification. And what’s the most important day of the weekend: SUNDAY of course. On Sunday there isn’t only the Legends Parade where you can experience former Austrian Formula 1 drivers from the past live in action; it is also the day the race takes place.

I am so looking forward to spending the weekend at SPIEL

Studying English

When I decided to study Transkulturelle Kommunikation in the year of 2011 I thought doing so won’t be challenging. I thought my language skills were good enough. After taking the entrance exam in English, though, I knew this won’t be just a piece of cake. I didn’t even pass the exam the first time I took it.

However, the first semester started and I enjoyed studying my second foreign language more and more. To keep up and improve my English I attended language courses and did a good job… but let’s skip my first year of studies.

Since I managed to pass the entrance exam in English I could finally attend the course Sprache und Kultur 1 and I still though this is going to be manageable. When I had my first PC, though, I learned that it wasn’t. My Grammar and Vocab part was so so bad. My Writing part was kind of good (4+) but it didn’t help me pass this exam. The second exam was better but still not good enough (57%). My writing part again was positive and my vocab and grammar part just horrible. After scoring just 58 or 59% on my last PC, I didn’t manage passing the course. Due to new regulations, though, I could attend the course Sprache und Kultur 2. After having a disappointing semester, I didn’t pass this course either.

After spending one month in Canada, I felt like I could finally manage to pass this course. I even passed PC 2 and PC 3… buuut.. Since my first PC was so bad, I didn’t pass the course. Now I’m in the second semester again and still don’t know whether I can pass this course or not.

Summing up, I learned that my language level just wasn’t high enough when I first started studying English.. My English has improved a lot since then. Still, I don’t know whether I can pass this course..

By new hobby ♥

Those who know me know that I love biking. One year ago, though, I was always the lazy one who was never into sports, never even wanted to go for a walk or even walk to University. This changed last year..

Last year my family and my neighbours decided to go biking. First of all I did not want to since I had not been biking in ages and to sum it up, I was just lazy  :-P. After a while, though, they managed to convince me. Biking after ages was horrible, my legs hurt, I was short of breath and the other day I swore to god I won’t ever do this again in my whole live. A few hours later, however, I was biking again. I don’t know why and it was more fun than the last time. The whole summer through I was biking every week twice or at least once and the more often I was biking, the more enjoyed it.

This year I thought about buying a new bike. My mom and Werner both tried to convince me not to – did not work. After one month I bought my new bike and it looks just awesome. From now on I tried to go biking as often as possible. My plan for this summer is to participate in a cycle marathon.

The end of an amazing area

(Spoiler alert, don’t read this before watching the final episode of HIMYM)

“It was at times a long, difficult road. But I’m glad it was long and difficult because if I hadn’t gone through hell to get there, the lesson might not have been as clear. You see, kids, right from the moment I met your mom, I knew: I have to love this woman as much as I can for as long as I can, and I can never stop loving her, not even for a second. I carried that lesson through every stupid fight we ever had, every 5 am Christmas morning, every sleepy Sunday afternoon, through every speed bump, every pang of jealousy or boredom or uncertainty that came our way. I carried that lesson with me.”

How I Met Your Mother 9x24 “Last Forever, Part 2”

This is how the last episode of my favorite TV show “How I met your mother” should have ended, just like this. This would have been just perfect. It even made me cry for several times.  The creator of the show meant to ruin the whole show, though. I want to start up with how much I loved this show, how everything started and why.

The first episode of “How I met your Mother” aired in 2005. At the beginning I couldn’t understand why everything loved this show so much. This Barney guy seemed to be just a stupid guy for me. All his stupid ways to pick up girls made me angry. After a while, though, when a friend of mine talked about this show I thought, why shouldn’t I start watching it, why not? Maybe it’s worth it.

Since I can’t stand watching the German version of TV shows I, from now on, started watching this show in English of course. In just a short period of time I had watched all the episodes and I became kind of addicted. The seasons went by and the more episodes I had watched, the more I loved this show. All this time Ted tried to fight for his beloved Robin, the time he fell in love with this beautiful girl named Tracy, I shared the thrill with all the main characters. Especially when I heard the last quote I had tearful eyes and thought this was the best way the show could have possibly ended. After a few seconds, however, I was shocked.

After Ted finishing his story of how he met the love of his life, his kids just said. No, this can’t just be the story of how you met mom - this is the story of how you totally are interested in Aunt Robin. After hearing this I was even more shocked. When he showed up at her apartment with the blue French horn in hand, I thought this can’t be it. Noooo way. First of all, Robin??? Why? This show had proved several times that they aren’t meant for each other.. And.. the name of “How I met your mother” is totally inappropriate. It should be renamed: How Ted finally asked his kids to date Robin and how he got their permission.

Stupid.  As much as I loved this show, it doesn’t change the fact how it ened.
