Hey,
its been a long time since my last post, but i don't have to much to tell, since i'm mostly busy with university.
Ok, so i left off with me going to go diving.
On Saturday, way too early in the morning i went to the diving school in Burnaby. There some of the Germans including Vivian met up with the vice president of BCIT. We got a short introduction of the gear and what we're gonna do the next 2 days by the diving instructors. After that we were all driven to the SFU pool, where we were given the gear and had some basic diving training. That included how to work the gear such as the flotation device or the oxygen nozzle. We learned the basic sign language that is used under water and how to move efficiently under water. After we learned everything we spend some time under water practicing and throwing torpedoes around, which is more difficult than it sound BTW :D
On that evening i went to a Halloween club crawl with Sophie and two of her friends: Elly and Paolo.
I went as Hellboy and Sophie as the Devil and non we didnt coordinate that :D
I couldn't stay that long, because the next day i would be going diving again very early. But i quite enjoyed talking to Elly who's a German-Brasilian girl who studies in England. I hope i can meet her again ;)
The next day i had to get up even earlier than the day before and again met up with the group at the diving school where we fitted the dry-suit and the rest of the additional gear. From there we drove to Portau Cove which is a beautiful diving spot about an hour away from Vancouver. Arriving there we all put on our gear, which took a long time, due to multiple layers of clothes, especially socks. Then we went into the water and immediately my feet and face were really really cold but that wasn't too bad. The bad thing was that when i went under water i couldn't equalize my ears. It hurt a lot and i panicked, because i couldn't see anyone, so i went straight back up again. I got out of the water and tried to get the water out of my ears, but couldn't. Not wanting to try that again, i just went snorkeling around the beach.
So i didn't get the whole diving experience but at least i had fun in the pool the day before. But after a couple of days my left ear began to hurt, so i went to the BCIT doctor and she told me that that was the beginning of an infection and gave me antibiotics for free, so yay me :D
Other than that i went to the cinema a couple of times and i can really recommend Thor 2 and Last Vegas.
On Thursday last week i broke one of my back-teeth in half. No idea how i did that but it was one of the dead ones with only a provisional filling. On Sunday i got it pulled out and when i'm back home i'm going to get an implant. So not all is lost, but it feels kind of weird with the gap in my teeth.
The last few weeks i had to do a lot of assignments and had to learn for a final. So i didn't have too much time for anything else, hence i have no photos to show you. I still have to visit the shooting spots of my favorite TV show and a bunch of other stuff.
On December 17 i will take the greyhound to Calgary to visit the friends there for the holidays and in January i'm planning to got to Hawaii for at least a week depending on my funds :D
so yeah that's it so far, expect more in the following weeks :D

Hey,
mein letzter Post ist ja schon wieder was länger her, da ich viel für die Uni zu tun hatte.
Ok ich hatte damit aufgehört, dass ich tauchen gehen wollte:
Viel zu früh für einen Samstag morgen bin ich nach Brunaby zur Tausch Schule aufgebrochen, wo ich mich mit einem Teil der Deutschen inkl. Vivian und dem Vize Presidenten vom BCIT getroffen habe. Wir haben eine kurze Einführung für die Ausrüstung und was wir die nächsten 2 Tage machen würden, bekommen. Danach gings dann zum Pool der SFU, wo wir unser Tauchgerät und ein kurzes Training in dessen Nutzung bekommen haben. Uns wurde gezeigt wie wir das Schwimmkissen und den Sauerstofftank benutzen und uns wurden die elementaren Handzeichen fürs Tauchen beigebracht. Nachdem wir das gelernt hatten, sind wir noch im Pool geblieben und haben das Gezeigte geübt und uns Torpedos zugeworfen. Das klingt einfacher als es ist ;D
Am Abend bin ich dann mit Sophie und zwei ihrer Freunde: Elly und Paolo auf einen Halloween club crawl gegangen. Ich hatte mich als Hellboy verkleidet und Sophie als Teufel und nein, wir haben uns net abgesprochen :D
Ich konnte aber nicht so lange bleiben, da es am nächsten morgen wieder sehr früh zum Tauchen ging. Aber ich hab mich echt gut mit Elly unterhalten, sie ist eine deutsch-brasilianrin die in England studiert. Ich hoffe, dass ich sie nochmal treffen kann ;)
Am nächsten Tag gings dann noch früher raus als am Samstag und wieder zur Tauchschule, wo wir dann die Trockenanzüge anprobiert haben. Von da aus gings mit dem Auto ne Stunde nach Portau Cove, ein wunderschöner Tauchplatz habe ich mir sagen lassen. Dort angekommen haben wir dann unsere gesamte Ausrüstung angelegt, was echt lange gedauert hat, da man viele Schichten anziehen muss, speziell Socken :D
Dann sind wir ins Wasser gegangen und mir ist sofort aufgefallen, das meine Füße und mein Gesicht derbe kalt wurden, das Wasser war ja auch nur 8 grad warm. Das schlimme war aber, das ich den Druck in meinen Ohren nicht ausgleichen konnte als wir untergetaucht sind. Das hat nach 2 metern derbe weh getan und ich habe Panik bekommen, weil ich niemanden sehen konnte. Also bin ich direkt wieder an die Oberfläche gestingen und aus dem Wasser raus. Ich konnte dann aber das Wasser nicht aus meinen Ohren bekommen, also hab ich danach nur an der Küste entlang geschnorchelt.
Ich habe also nicht die ganze Taucherfahrung gehabt, aber zumindest am Samstag hatte ich spaß. Nach ein paar Tagen hat mein linkes Ohr angefangen weh zu tun, also bin ich zum BCIT Arzt und die sagte mir, das das der Anfang einer Ohrenentzündung ist und gab mir Antibiotica um sonst, yay :D
Die folgenden Wochen war ich ein paar mal im Kino und kann euch Thor 2 und Last Vegas sehr empfehlen.
Letzte Woche Donnerstag hab ich es dann geschafft einen meiner Backenzähne in der Mitte durchzu beissen. Keine Ahnung wie ich das gemacht habe, aber er musste raus. Also bin ich am Sonntag zum Zahnarzt und hab ihn ziehen lassen. Wenn ich wieder zuhause bin, bekomm ich ein Implantat und alles ist gut. Aber die Lücke fühlt sich schon verdammt komisch an.
Die letzten paar Wochen musste ich einige Assignments machen und für einen Final lernen und hab deswegen nicht viel gemacht, aber ich will hier noch die Drehorte von Supernatural besuchen und noch so einiges anderes machen.
Am 17. Dezember werde ich mit dem Greyhound rüber nach Alberta fahren und mit den Kanadiern Weihnachten verbringen und im Januar hab ich vor mindestens eine Woche in Hawaii zu verbringen, aber das hängt vom Geld ab :D
Ok das wars erstmal, aber in den nächsten Wochen kommt bestimmt noch was :D
