It has been a really long time...

Engineering school can get the best of you. I am trying not to let it do so. However, this means that I have about zilch time to write (if you can call what I do writing). Just a couple more weeks left in this semester and I will only have one more left. Then, off to the 'real world' for me.

I miss being in Germany, and I think about it everyday. It does not help that my life is currently teeming with Germans: the novice men's coach is from Rostock and one of the exchange students in my classes is a student from Braunschweig, as well as other various and sundry Germans that come in and out of my day, but it is nice to have people around who know what I am talking about sometimes.

Sadly, I do not think my near future involves a trip back across the pond. I think that it will find me in the middle of Ohio. Not an ideal location, but it will be somewhere to start.

Perhaps I will be able to find more time to write sooner than last time.

Also: Way to go to the Purdue Women's Soccer Team- blazing their way to their first Conference Championship with a win over Ohio State.

Redundancy at it best...

As you may (or may not, since I am sure no one is reading this) have realised, I have added -al to the dimension of this blog. I feel that it rings a little better than before. Though it is a little redundant, since the fifth dimension is a tesseract, it is a little repetitive saying that the tesseract of the title is fifth dimensional, since that is inherent in the tesseractiness of the tesseract. Oh well, se la vie.

Note, the image was found online, thanks to Google, on this website: The Textual Tesseract Project. I thought that it looked cool, even though it has nothing to do with this Blog, other than the word Tesseract... and it has a similar sound to it, and depending on how you analyse Textual, it has the same number of syllables ending in -al. And because the author's inspiration for use of the word is from the same place as mine. (see above quote). In case you do not feel like actually going to the site, it is a project about hypertexting, which the author has likened to Ms. L'Engle's defination of a tesseract. Let me tell you, the site is interesting, and a little weird. Anyhow. Moving on...

A Working Title

This blog is not currently in working order. But, with how addicted I have become to the whole phenomenon, I foresee myself continuing this blogging thing well after my current adventures. Unlike Versicherung (the purpose of which is to inform friends and family of my doings here on the Continent), the aim of this blog is not to inform you of what I am doing with my life particularly; hence, will not be a mix of personal and random ramblings of yours truly. It will be more along the lines of a response to events going on in the world... more like the random ramblings that I currently post every once in a while without the boring personal details thrown in.

With that said, Fifth Dimension Tesseract is a working title, and I might think of a better name for it at some point. But, since it is drawn from one of my favourite quotes by one of my favourite authors, I have a feeling that it will stick. As with the working title, the topics of this blog have also not been decided as yet, but, at its inception, I come with the aims to put down my responses and views to current events, politics, business, sports, culture, and anything else that strikes my fancy at the time.

And with that said, do not look for much more activity here until I return to the States, which means not until August at the earliest, and probably not much sooner, since shortly after my return I must drive across the country and prepare for my fourth, and finally final, year of engineering school.
