The student fees are here. Next January I'll have to come up with 500 Euro for the following semester. 500 Euro is the amount of money I live a month on. Including rent. So this hurts, this hurts very bad.
I don't think any german university anticipates the demands the german students will make now. I just have to remember how art history is organized, no, wrong, is NOT organized in cologne. I won't have any of that crap if I pay for it. I'm not a bummer student, the last grade I got (just yesterday, for the paper about internet art that I worked on for three days) was an A (german 1,00). I'm hard working, intelligent and motivated. And I still won't finish my studies in the required years.
I'm so fucking angry.
And the Man tells us, financing our studies is so easy, just get a students credit and start your life with a 10,000 Euro debt for only just 7%! Fuckers. As if any of us will get a job that easy. As if we aren't told to start families as early as possible. On debts? No, Sir, sorry, Sir, I think I'm off to New Zealand.

So? There are people dying from hunger all over the world, is that supposed to make me feel less angry about my smaller situation? I must admit I'm really annoyed by things like that here. I may have got it easy comnpared to the famished or even to you. That doesn't mean that my worries are worth less.
Am I lamenting about how I can't stand my life and stuff? No, I'm not at all, I love my life and I know how good fate was to me. That's not an argument against me protesting against something unfair.
And just because this unfairness is often found it's not less unfair.
I'm sorry, but education is, indeed, a right. There's the point in Germany that everybody shall get the same chances as everybody else, regardless of their parents' wealth. And that is just not provided anymore. And I *want* this to be provided (and, since this is a democracy and I'm SO not alone in wanting this, what I/we want is relevant). We are a very, very rich country and this is, in fact, totally possible. Especially since everyone can see this administration throwing money into the chimney.
So don't "Oh please" me.

Especially considering that we wouldn't HAVE this situation if the federal goverment of the time had ordered one obsolete Eurofighter less...
