25 Jan 2000

I’d like to introduce myself first.

My name is Andrea Frick and I’m 24 years old. I study physics and maths at the University of Bonn in order to be a teacher for the German equivalent of senior highschool (Gymnasium), including grades (5 or) 7 to 13. I hopefully am going to finish my studies in the summer or fall of 2001. After that, I’m going to do my Referendariat. This is supposed to be a two year practical preparation for teaching, but in fact you’re doing your job (teaching) full time with being paid much attention by some instructors but little money.

I live in Bonn, Germany, where I share a nice little flat with André (Spicy Noodles), my boyfriend. He also studies physics, but only as a hobby now. Since spring 1999, he’s been working for UserLand.

Besides studying, I also like reading, music (I used to play the piano) and traveling. I plan to publish the journal of André’s and my trip to the western part of the US in September 1999 here – with lots of pictures, of course! (We took about 800.) Here’s a nice one which was taken on our first day in San Francisco by Bob Bierman

You can see another photo here. This was the first time André went to the US and met his co-workers in real life!

This is my first serious attempt to create a homepage. I hope to be able to improve it soon…

“Bin ich schon drin? – Ich bin drin! Das ist ja einfach!”

In fact, I’ve just found out how to change the colours. Now everything is blue!

Also, it seems like somebody besides André noticed I created this page… after only an hour! Will I be famous now?
