The Wisdom of the “Lehramt” Students
Due to the great demand, here are the highlights of the two students’ recommendations for life (see previous article). The whole theory of them is rather complex, so I will try to summarize as good as I can. Note the German translations, they will give you the right “feel”:
1) Theoretically, it doesn’t matter whether you study Mathematics, Physics or Medicine.
2) You can always do sculpture (”Bildhauerei”) in your spare time.
3) Religion is really sooo important (”einfach total wichtig”). Be active in at least one church (”Gemeinde”) and, if possible, have a good-looking brother who is a priest.
4) Note: It is “Ich ging in ein CAFE (long “e”), um einen KAFFEE (short “e”) zu trinken” and not vice versa as the people in Innsbruck say. But besides this, Innsbruck is quite ok (especially if you are active in a church there).
I also forgot to dedicate the previous article to our linguist friends who have a well-known affinity to unicorns (especially the “possible world semanticists” among them). I would hereby like to do so.
And yes, this should definitely not be the last article in this blog … we’ll try to think about something better.
