Acceptance by Professor

After checking email today, i decided to call the professor. I called the professor in the evening. He told me that he has settled in somewhere today and just saw my email. That is why he didnt reply me. He said me welcome to the uni. (what a relief). Then we discussed some administrative issues and my residence in that city. Now, the next problem is to find a good place to live. So now i'll concentrate on that. Hope i find something good.

Still no reply!!!

I emailed the professor of my chosen university on Monday. Still no reply. What has happened? i dont wanna think...

I'll definitely call him if he does not reply till tomorrow afternoon.

University chosen

I decided today that i would go for uni of Kaiserslautern. It is a small group there, so professor can give me more time and i can finish my phd in time hopefully. The uni is in top 5 unis of Germany in Computer Science. I'll have to work with robots, which is good as i should do something new as well in phd, like a little hardware and electronics. I emailed today to the professor telling him that i have selected this uni and asking further processing.

Fahrkarte bitte! (Ticket please!)

Today when we were going to our language institute in the morning, the ticket-checker came. Its a usual thing for them to check tickets. I put my hand in my pocket and received a shock!!! I had no ticket. I had forgotten my ticket at home. Fine for travelling without a ticket is 40 euros, which is very much. Now i was thinking of what to do or say. The ticket-checker was getting nearer to me and my stop was after 5 min.

The ticket-checker came to my seat and asked us for tickets. People started showing their tickets. Fortunately (for me :) the person sitting opposite me had no ticket. So he started explaining his reason for no ticket. The ticket-checker did or didn't believe him (they were speaking in German :) So the gaurd gave him a challan. I prayed to Allah. There were still 2 min till my station.

The gaurd started advising him about different ticket offers that they give. They talked and talked until my station came. I got off the train and thanked Allah. It was unbelievable as it usually doesn't happen. Normally, they just give the challan and move on.

Trip to North Germany (uni Paderborn)

I went to check another univerity in North of Germany. It is uni of Paderborn in the city named Paderborn. A lot happened during this trip, which i'll write later. The university turned out to be very good and people are good as well. Let's see what happens.

btw, on the way back, something funny happened. I puchased the train ticket and saw a train on the plateform ready to leave. I ran and got on it. I tried to check the train number but it was nowhere written. I asked a boy onboard and he said that this is the correct train and that he is going to the same immediate destination (mostly you have to switch trains during a long journey). But after an hour, i came to know that it was going in opposite direction (towards North - Hannover city). Then i came back to Paderborn and restarted my journey to my city (cologne) westwards.

My first class in language school

My First class in German Language School (CDC). Most of the students are from Gabun (Africa). The girl on the far right is from England. The guy next to him is from Turkey. And the guy next to him (with glasses) is Ramzan, the person who came with me from Pakistan and is to stay with me for 3 months for this language course. The lady near him (with white hair) is our German language teacher. We have a lot of fun in the class, mainly because of the students from Gabun. They always seem to be complaining that why do people think that people in Africa live in jungles and wear no clothes etc.
