Don't put off going shopping (particularly for things like umbrellas) in a place where it rains. Often.
(In Hambug's defense - and I suppose my own - the first two weeks I was here the weather was fabulous. All to lull me into a false sense of weather-security, I suppose. This is where my Californization was my undoing, because in California, if it's sunny one day, it will likely be sunny for the next 159...)

I fail to understand why exactly you find yourself so drawn to blogging. I randomly happened upon this site after happening to accidentally notice it over your shoulder in class earlier this week. Your excessively self-obsessed blog-ruminations reflect upon the imminently insecure person I and many of my international colleagues have come to be acquainted with since your arrival at Bucerius.
I'm not sure if this comes off as a bit harsh but you should really re-evaluate how you decide to present yourself to the outside world. You unfortunately come off as exceedingly self-important, arrogant, and domineering. There really is no reason for you to artificially commandeer 15-20 minutes out of every class.
A great many of us would appreciate it if you would take a lower-profile role and realize the value that other people have in the world -- you're not the only one with a cerebrum running around in Hamburg these days. It would serve you well to realize this.

...and you learned nothing while you were in Boston, where if it's sunny for two days in a row, it's a heat wave?

To readers in general - if the above comments look out of sync, it's because neither author could see either comment until I approved them both, which happened at the same time (just now).
To Koichi - Yeah, but I spent the summer in California and I think it reset my Bostonian instincts.
To my anonymous "fan" - if you were daring me to delete your comments, you will be disappointed. However, if you insist on posting the same comment elsewhere on my site I will delete it like I would any other comment spam.
If you want to ask me, in person, why I blog, I would be happy to tell you why I find this such a meaningful activity. However, if you would prefer to abuse me anonymously then don't expect me to consider your opinion worth worrying about.
