How Long Must Yo Serce The Nmilitary

The first ECTS Credits_Praktikum wood processing / furniture placement for


Juhu, Juhu. Today we have collected our first seminar points. After we have spent the last 2 weeks in the workshop of the Bank University so that we deal with the material wood, we are now richer by 6 ECTS credits.
All items have been made that we have largely made by hand. It started with a simple hand flatterer could be finalized with the saws, rasps and sandpaper from a block of wood. The second task, we could then work out a spoon, was then being trained to deal with various sculptors tools and planing. Then there was then a simple milking stool (on which I'm sitting) is made of two pieces of wood were joined by a mortise and tenon joint. During the second week we were allowed to build their own designs in a small casket made of alder wood. In this case, the side parts of the box with a zinc (dovetail) together. Since some steps had to be prepared by machine, there were some on the waiting time in more then spoon, a butter knife, rings, etc. incurred. Lisa has built a jewelry box and I get a pins block (made of alder wood, pear and nut) for my desk.
A few new people for we also have to know. The next step now is a 3-day trip to Istria (Croatia), it's still fast before a presentation and a little design and lecture.

A Stomach Ache With Herpes

contrasts vs. wine taverns. Opera

Hello together,

we had a varied weekend. On Friday we were in a wine taverns, unfortunately without Mrs. Wolf, is because they no longer even in Graz. Was very funny. We were Schanke "of the taverns, to the beautiful views" with great views over the city (at night). That was one of those Erasmus students introductory meetings with all the Erasmus students of the Faculty of Architecture. It was delicious sausage plate specials with quaint as lard, lard with cracklings, salami, ham, roast and to some vegetables and horseradish (more radish, sauscharf). Of course, allowed the very popular here Schilcher Sturm (must) not be missing.







On Saturday we went to the opera in Graz for the premiere of "My Fair Lady". I've bought a extra shirt because I had none here. Everything was cleaned out completely and chic. Here suit, evening gown there. The opera house is apparently the 2nd largest in Austria and quite impressive. The play was quite interesting, but hard to understand because it was adapted so that much of it was recorded in coarse Styrian dialect. It was a nice mix of musicians, theater and opera. Where we have not understood the humorous inserts the singer, we could at least enjoy about the grunting laughter of the lady behind us.

Motor Bike Cake For My Sons Birthday

wolf in Graz and the first days at the University of

Moin Moin,

the weekend were Lisa's parents in Graz. Now we have no car, but for this, 2 potato peelers some dish towels and I'm back basketball shoes, thanks again.
So now a short report of Goeppert-Wolf visited. We have searched but immediately after our arrival, a hotel in Graz, but there's grad fair, nothing was free. Except for a small hotel with us around the corner, which happens to be a former nursing home. The heads of the store have not started rebuilding, that is, the inventory is still completely trimmed to seniors residence. So, hospital beds, hospital bedside tables with folding table, shower and everything else disabled. It has everything a very own "charm". OK, so the hotel was not very nice, but went 3-day's. But at least we had too bad Weather, the whole 3 days. It has been raining ever we are in Graz, except on the 3 days, on which Wolf's there. But positively, on the last day, so on Saturday, at least it was just cloudy, no rain. Less good hotel, not so good weather, no matter we had fun anyway. Besides sightseeing, we were in the spa bath in the same mountain, on Saturday at a small wine tasting in Graz, where we (Lisa's dad and I) were invited by a drunken Steirer. In the evening we were always delicious food Styrian. Sunday, when Wolf drove, the weather has become more spontaneous, so we spent the whole day in the cafe, black against the wall. This is very cool, because the wall is heating up in the sun and then when it's cold or heat will deliver quite a while. Basically as a giant heating.
































On Monday, the university officially began. We had the same time our first seminar
internship wood processing / furniture placement. Since we are allowed to build cool things out of wood. Until now we have a hand flatterer, a spoon and a milking stool built. Is all very interesting, but I've had good blow on the hand.




















Last night we had been on an Erasmus Partey, it was not as sparkling. The band "Sons of Love" which was actually played pretty good but not too relaxed. The rest of the festival was less exciting. Tonight go all the Erasmus students of the Faculty of Architecture to the "tavern", which is a Styrian peasant pub in the wine, and sausage served, similar to us in the broom economies. We'll see how it is, then there's pictures in the next blog.




And bikes we now have both the total scrap, but it flies.

Until then, servus widrschaun, ba ba
