Ultimate thoughts

I just took my Cell Bio final but what moved me to write this blog was a short discussion that I had with one of my fellow Cell Biologists while waiting for the final. I was talking about not having 10 blogs and I was saying that it would be wrong to write another one today since I did not go volunteering and so to speak do not have a "current occasion". However my fellow student convinced me that the main part of this assignment was to complete 10 hours, which I did. Since I have completed those 10 hours I have a "right" to write a blog. In addition as a athlete you are always taught to never give up and fight to the bitter end, so this blog is basically my "heart" for cell biology (or good grades;-) fighting to the end.
I would like to go back to my last blog and emphasize that I did mean it when I was saying that I would like to volunteer past my 10 hours and "actually" volunteer in the sense that I do not get anything from other people (such as points towards my grad) but only from myself (satisfaction with myself).This finals week however was busy again and I dont think I will find the time that I need in order to volunteer before leaving for Germany. I will be flying back to my family next thursday after a year's absence. I am very excited to do so but I also would like to do something for society over there. This volunteering opportunity made me more aware of my social responsibilities as mentioned in the last blog. Yet it may be time to do something for my home country Germany. Please dont get me wrong after living in the US for a total of about 6 years I consider it my second home. But then again home is home and there is nothing comparable. People many times ask me where do you like it better what is it that you miss about Germany. I always answer I miss home. Even the bad annoying things about it is what I miss and I know there is no place on this world where I will get this same feeling. On that a little more personal note I would like to wish everyone merry christmas and a happy new year and please enjoy your time with the ones you love!
