B1 level

Catching up, publishing this on 5/2/2008

Well, after a flurry of e-mails, my Campus Europae coordinator and I found that the Latvian language course I had taken last semester actually does include (or at least reach into) B1/intermediate language level.
So, that's all right already. And how easy it eventually turned out, too ;)

The pharyngitis (sore throat) has been getting better and better, fortunately. I went out just for some errands, and to see if I can finally get some photography for a(nother) little project of mine done.

Oh great...

Since two days ago, swallowing is painful.
At least I can still sleep okay, and there is no other problem. Although, that's actually something that concerns me, since it also means that I can't say I simply had a cold: I simply have a sore throat, and very badly so, and no idea why and wherefore.

In fact, it's so bad that I asked for sick leave from school. So, I'm taking the next two days off (and then there are holidays, and then I'm gone to Portugal).
Depending on how you see it, it's the perfect or a pretty bad time for that. I actually don't much like it; it's a bit too much like extending the holidays.
I just hope I'll get better, or I will have to go see a doctor. Before Portugal, let alone the Riga Marathon, I sure would like to be all right again!

---

I also checked in with the Campus Europae coordinator at my home university... and he dropped a bombshell on me, asking whether I had taken any courses in Latvian or could certify that I had reached B1 level of language ability in Latvian.

A little late to tell me that, not least as the requirements were not like that when I started for this sojourn (and I read fine points like that only too carefully).

Not that I hadn't been looking for interesting courses in Latvian, but even with the little that I feel I'm doing this semester, I am doing too much. Even so, I still don't know whether I'll get enough credits for CE at all... certainly not if I can't finally manage to study and do my writing for this semester's courses! Gorram, why do I like Russian so much that I pick up much just so - and then and therefore don't really study!

Training this week:

04/23/2008 - 01:19.39,0 - 13.06 km - 6'06 min/km - 159 HR avg. - TE 4.5
A bit too quick, at least HR-wise, but nice. Shin not a problem anymore; quite cold wind, also not a problem (I'm used to more). Not sure if the distance is correct - even more so than usually: About two-thirds into the run, the FootPOD's battery gave out (it had flashed the low-level warning before, but then stopped doing that…)

04/25/2008 - 01:07.42,0 - 11.39 km - 5'57 min/km - 158 HR avg. - TE 4.5
Thepretty high training effect seems to become a constant companion; I don't much like it. Seem to be developing a slightly sore throat (maybe the cold of the Italian girl I spoke to was a bit too effective in spreading?!).

04/27/2008 - 01:16.53,0 - 11.76 km - 6'32 min/km - 162 HR avg. - TE 5
Okay, I overdid it. Vienna City Marathon is today, so I felt an obligation to go running even though my sore throat has gotten quite a bit worse. At least, that's the only obvious problem (nothing with shins or knees), but swallowing currently hurts. And judging by HR and TE, I am not at the best of my health…
Had I been in Vienna, once again I would not have participated in the marathon there, after all.
Riga Marathon is in three weeks; I hope I'll be up to speed again, by then.

Spring, and it's like a new world

During the few days my parents were here, the day (time of sunlighy) got longer by some 15 minutes. We are back to a situation where the time when I'm coming back from my late lectures still feels like it's evening, and is bright like that. In fact, however, it's 9 p.m. - basically, early night.
It's a bit confusing, since I rather like to use the sun as my guide to sleeping, but it is also very nice.

Also, you can watch the whole scenery getting greener and greener. Bushes have been unfurling their leaves or starting to bloom, trees are not far behind. (In fact, I started writing this about a week ago, and by today most smaller trees are pretty green, and the big ones starting to follow.)
Temperatures have recently been very nice, too - the night temperatures are still quite cold, but during the day, t-shirts have become appropriate.

It's only a little over a month before my return back to Austria. Before that, there are a few free days at the beginning of May, then I'm in Portugal for the Campus Europae PR meeting, then there's the LU Students' Research Conference, immediately followed by the Riga Marathon, then the last two weeks of May (when I'll need to take my tests for this semester's lectures), Stockholm Marathon, and that's pretty much it.

Still, some things about the lectures I've been taking by writing the necessary paper are not totally clear, neither do I know when I'll be able to take the test for Spanish (the lectures with the responsible teacher had recently not taken place, and the next times I'll miss again!). And of course, I still need to finally study more (or anything except what I learn in lectures) for Russian…

Yesterday, I sent off the materials for the Monbukagakusho scholarship application. Let's see if anything becomes of that.

Today, I updated my website a little: Introduced "aoi," and I hope that I will get a German translation of its basic elements finished soon.

... and they are gone

Yesterday, my parents left town again.
In the evening, we checked in via skype...

They were pretty happy about this visit, and amazed at how Western this part of Eastern Europe had become, contrary to imagination. - Things I had been saying, one for the Iron Curtain which we still have in our heads, and the other regarding how the Baltic was strongly Soviet-controlled, but always oriented more towards Northern Europe rather than Russia.

Well, we visited quite a few places.

Not least, the visit to a kindergarten with my mother worked out. Indeed, it worked out very well, with Mrs. Lapina from Agenskalna gimnazija using a break in her teaching to serve as our guide and translator (and I did understand some of what was talked about and even conversed a bit in Latvian ;) . She's a real treasure!
It was very interesting: A rather different kind of organization and somewhat different intention. The case in point: Children going on to elementary school are expected to be able to read. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to understand their tasks, after all.
(In Austria, a child is expected to read freely in the 3rd. grade of elementary school, not necessarily before then. A child able to read when coming out of kindergarten is seen as probably being pushed too much by its parents.)

All right, we came around much more - with my dad to the Olympic Sports Center, I want to mention - but I won't go into detail. It was pretty touristy, in our very own ways, though. In other words, quite a break from how I'd recently been living here.

Yesterday, it was back to Austria for the parents, and back to teaching for me. And it's getting quite crazy: So many things coming up that there aren't all that many lectures left to the semester. But now, I need to get ready for going to school again...

Recent (Non-)Training

Having talked about being efficient at running, my calf muscle had started hurting a bit more recently. So, during the time my parents were visiting, I took some time off.
Time off from running per se, anyways - we walked for miles every day, after all.

Yesterday...
04/21/2008 - 01:03.52,3 - 10.21 km - 6'15 min/km - 150 HR avg. - TE 3.5
... I went running again and it seems that there is something amiss, but not much at all. So, I hope it's just a slight strain from running a lot and on variable surfaces, but not a real shin splints-type problem (taking weeks off would take me past the marathons, but of course I also wouldn't go running if I were hurt).

Countdown, and the Situation

30 Days to the Riga Marathon!

Just now, ads are appearing for it at the tourist info - or at least, it's only now that I came there, since my parents got tourist tickets for public transport and info material there.

Checking, I found the organizers are - on the Latvian site version, anyways - celebrating that there are already 1100 participants...
Stockholm Marathon had over 18000 in January or February and they had to close registrations then.
Which is not to say that it were bad. The two marathons will be very different, though.

School visit with my parents today: Pretty nice, seeing where I've been teaching, what some of the students and teachers are like... the principal is just too sweet. And later, Ms. Lapina - one of the teacher colleagues who I had asked about chances for my mum to visit a kindergarten (she works in such in Vienna, after all) - also came through with having organized such a visit for tomorrow, and she was asked to join as translator and will do so...
Anybody who wants to talk about Latvians being cold and unfriendly or anything like that, come to me and get what's coming. Sure there are problems.

Yesterday, the first day, we also found a drunk who was lying on the walkway with a slight gash to this head. Nobody seemed interested.
My dad observed a German lecture, and immediately stated that the students were not very good, but extremely cheeky.
We went back to the old town in bus, and a teen immediately stood up to let Aunt Ria take a seat.
Today, after having visited the Ethnographic Museum (which was a nice walk, but the buildings were closed and it was pretty chilly), we saw a pretty bad crash on the motorway.
In short: life is life. There's both good and bad everywhere.

Meet the parents

So, yes.
After the run, I went to the airport.
On the way there, met a student again who's studying Chinese - she just came from Jurmala where a school would like to offer some Chinese classes. Sweeet.

First time I was the one waiting at the airport for my parents, and Aunt Ria, to arrive. Some complications with how to find food, where to go, but all in all a very nice afternoon we spent chatting and looking around the city.
My dad is continually amazed at the cars: You hardly see any which are poor. In fact, you see many more which are more expensive or newer than you see in Austria...

Weather was incredibly nice, and that alone helps a lot, of course.
Today, it's off to "my" school for a visit there (and because one of my classes gets their test from me), and then we'll see where to. Weather may not be as nice, but may be just as good - the forecast is not good, but its high is already broken at this early hour.

My participation in the students' research conference in May (necessary for finishing one important course) is finally set; and I finished most of the work on the application material for Japan... though still not all I already wanted to have finished.

04/16 run

A quick run in the morning to have done some training even this day - afterwards, I was off to the airport to pick up my parents...

01:02.22,9 - 10.44 km - 5'59 min/km - 156 HR avg. TE 4.2
Not quite as high a training effect as with the runs below, although speed and average heart rate were similarly high. And still, a TE which should be lower - then again, I'll not be doing quite as much now, so it should be quite all right.

Taking a break...

... from some of my burdens. Sort of.

The rest of the week is, except for a few small and one larger thing, all set. Well, actually pretty important things having taken me a while already... Still, I feel like it's a break.

No wonder: Only a few more hours, and my parents and Tante Ria (she's not technically an aunt - Tante, but always had that appellation for me) are arriving in Riga for a visit.

Looking forward to showing them the city, seeing the city as a bit of a tourist again myself, and especially to talks we'll be having.

Finally, although my life is still a whirlpool, there are also several approaches I'm following to get on with things, so I'm more confident than I've been in a while. And in fact, the ache in my stomach I used to have seems to have all but disappeared some time during this time in Riga...

4/14 run

00:55.22,9 - 9.32 km - 5'57 min/km - 156 HR avg. - TE 4.4
Just a quick nice run, but seems like it was quite hard (after-effects of the day before?)

Still a major problem of mine - though I'm not sure I'd necessarily call it a problem: I'm just going rather too fast on those short runs. Then again, their quality counts, and it's probably better this way. As long as rest days follow, at least.

TNF Cooper's Hill

that is: The North Face's "Cooper's Hill" trail running shoes

I'll admit that a shoe with a color called Habanero Orange immediately holds some attraction for me.

(http://www.chilicult.com/ is my other website… there's a reason for it. It's still only in German, though!).

Moreover, a shoe made for racing in mud and the like… everybody can do sunshine, I like my running in the storm.

Now, as you can see from my prior post today, the weather was just right for that.

Results:

• You should be rather biomechanically efficient if you ever get onto asphalt. Cushioning is not that shoe's thing. - But then, that's exactly what it's not made for. If you can choose between a swampy ditch beside the road, and the hardtop of the road, the decision is easy ;)


• On slick grass, up, down and traversing inclines, on trails, in mud, the shoes grip is perfect. The wet sand seemed a problem, but that was only when the entire ground gave way, and even then the shoes bite.


• Slick rocks seem a bit more troublesome, but as soon as there is a little roughness - no pro', bro'.


• One mystery to me is why the Cooper's Hill didn't get a waterproof liner.
  They are nicely airy, so they may be great for mountain running (I intend to - probably - use them for the Bergmarathon). With enough water around, your feet will get wet, though.
  My assumption is that the designers didn't go for a Gore-Tex liner because the way these are supposed to be used, you'd get water in from the top, anyways. That way, the better breathability may be more of an advantage.


• Interestingly, the shoes didn't get nearly as noticeably muddy as I feared they would. Strange statement, I know, but I wouldn't want to have to wash them every time (and with that color, noticeable comes easy).


• Their light weight, tread, and general profile really makes the Cooper's Hill be built for racing. I was quite amazed how nimble and fast they move.

All in all, thus, a highly specialized shoe. Not recommendable for all-purpose use, but highly advisable to get it if you want to use it for what it's made for: running on mud, slick trails, wet grass... For that, it's fast, and it truly grips beautifully.

In this time of cheap stuff for everything, mobile phones that take pictures and navigation devices that make phone calls, I actually appreciate finding something that's well made to serve a specific purpose. I'm still going to try them for parkour, I think…



Two notes to wrap this up:

• I got my pair from http://www.runningwarehouse.com/. Good service, good advice, which brings me to Point 2:


• these shoes are cut large, going half-size smaller than with normal running shoes really is advisable.

And a P.S.:
This is another one of those cases where an excellent product is really hard to get. The orange model cannot be found in Europe even through special orders, and The North Face's products "cannot" be shipped from the USA to Europe by most companies - TNF says you should go to your local dealer. And there you won't get what you want. What kind of sales policy is that, exactly?

Disclaimer:
I don't get any money from TNF or any stores, and I'm not affiliated with them except as a customer. I may be open to sponsoring, but I'll certainly keep on saying it how I think it is.

playing in the mud

Another one of those times where I started with the decision not to go running. After all, it was raining quite heavily, and I had my running in a downpour already, earlier this week.
Then again, I had not done training yesterday.

So, I re-interpreted things slightly:
Rain, wet ground? Well, I had checked out the trails on Zakusala ("rabbit island," which the TV tower is on), and where I pretty much started my longish running in Riga. Those trails look a lot like the ones I always run on in Austria, and a lot like real trails.
Not to forget that, with the TNF Cooper's Hill shoes, I have a new pair of shoes which is explicitly made for running on muddy tracks.

So, I decided to play in the rain. ...

04/13/2008 - 01:15.10,0 - 11.89 km - 6'19 min/km - 157 HR avg. - TE 4.5
(Rather like speedwork plus breaks - running plus stops for photography. Without those, the average pace was around 5'30 min/km.)

Well, actually there was not all that much mud, and the rain stopped about five minutes before I set out. Still, there was slick grass, puddles, wet sand, gravelly trails, ups and downs… It was beautiful.

I just wish my academic work could be as immediately gratifying. Things there take longer to develop and mature, let alone to produce tangible results.

blogging reviews

Hmm. I don't want to let the label list get too long. At the same time, I think it is time to introduce a few new ones, and - more importantly - to write more blog posts of a shorter size, with more of a focus on one or a few strongly related issues. Not everything all in one.
I wanted to try writing the posts like that before, but then I don't find time or motivation to write, and therefore I don't do so, but catch up in long posts…

"review"

One new label to introduce. I love shiny new toys, but I love it even more when I can resist temptation. - It's at the root of too much of our stupid overconsumption, and the environmental and social problems that is causing. So, quality and durability are the major criteria for me.

I take Oscar Wilde as, both good and bad, example.

• The bad: "I can resist everything except temptation." Not my thing. In fact, something I fight against.
• The good: "I have but the simplest taste, the best is good enough." That's something I rather subscribe to, except that the best is not always the most expensive.

It doesn't even have to be the very best quality, but the best balance of factors. I'm sure there's better quality (on some counts) than Levi's Jeans. However, my 501s have now held up (more or less - they are starting to fall apart) for years. My The North Face Mountain Light Jacket is definitely 14 years old - I bought it when I was in the USA for my high school year abroad - I still wear it, and it still serves its purpose.

P.S.: Well, I just entered the label, and a "review" label is already here, I just didn't yet use it too much. Sort-of bad for following the good intention (of putting up reviews), great as proof that I'm not buying all that much stuff.

rest my case

"I think consumerism is probably a bit of an addiction," offers Richard
Eckersley, an Australian public health researcher featured in a 2003 radio
documentary, Consumerism, Money, and Happiness:

'Addiction is really a hallmark of our era, and I think it
reflects that we don't have culturally promoted kinds of other deeper forms of
meaning and purpose in our lives. So we make up for it by consuming more. ... '

… Most professionals will agree that the purpose or function of an
addiction is to put a buffer between ourselves and the experience or awareness
of our emotions. An addiction serves to numb us so that we are out of touch with
what we know and what we feel. Eventually this numb buffer zone becomes a
habituated coping mechanism."

Partying harder and drinking more…. guess I am not alone in my interpretation (at the end of my last post). Seeing it in too extreme a way, however, one forgets that humans are social animals.

So, the collective social support for something like this does not necessarily mean it's not a problem - possibly even a pathology - but since it is (also) based on positive needs, the question may be a bit deeper: To what extent is it not an escape/addiction, when does it get too much and a negative thing?

Ever since I was a child, I asked myself what the meaning of it all was, and I could never shake the feeling that this question were the important one. At the same time, I saw how many people do anything to avoid having to ask themselves that.

Thinking of something my pupils just commented, it seems to have become even more strange either to ask yourself what the purpose of (your) life should be, or even to have found a way to give it meaning and follow that whole-heartedly.
If it were your aim to make loads of money and get lots of sex - or if that is unlikely, get by well enough to get wasted on the weekends - they could understand, but anything out of the ordinary seems to boggle their minds…

There are quite a few things that come to my mind when I think about this observation, not least about the probable effects it has on these teenagers' motivation for learning.

4/11 run

01:45.10,0 - 17.22 km - 6'06 min/km - 151 HR avg. - TE 3.9
Started out expecting cold - it had been rather cool - ended up running in very nice weather, sunshine.

in a rush

Wow. Finding a little time to write again, so it's time for an update.

Campus Europae

First of all: I've been invited to participate in the meeting of Campus Europae's PR committee.

I just checked the hits one gets when googling it, and found that blog posts of mine already came up on the third page, a link to the company whose software is apparently used is on the first page... Looks like a lot needed to be done.

It's a strange issue.
On the one hand, this program is excellent.
Not that there were no problems with universities and bureaucracy - I still don't know how many ECTS I'll eventually manage to get, let alone how much will really, usefully count towards my present studies. The international experience in an expanded Europe, however, could be worth more than the degree itself. Well, almost.
On the other hand, if you just want to quickly finish your normal degree - especially now that study programs everywhere are (being) changed to the bachelor as first degree, and therefore (should) take less time - going abroad is not the best idea for that...

How much and how long I'll be able to contribute is a question, too. Not least since I am, and things are, going ahead with the applications for China and Japan, some of which would lead me out of teacher training studies, and therefore away from (Campus) Europ(a)e.

Time accelerates

Less than a week until my parents (and so-called aunt) are coming for a visit. Looking forward to seeing them in person again, showing them some of Riga, chatting, discussing plans...
They'll also be taking some of my stuff back: books, winter clothes. At least, although it's far from the +20 Celsius in Austria, it has started to look like the winter stuff really won't be needed anymore. I'm not so sure which books to keep with me and which to send home, though.

What's more on my mind, though:
I'll be allowed to take some time off from teaching for my parents' visit.
At the beginning of May, I'll take time off for the Campus Europae meeting.
Which, as I forgot to mention above, will be in Portugal!
Mid-May, there is a students' conference which is part of a course (actually, the one which the quarrel with LU was about...), and I need to take some time off. And that's followed immediately by the Riga Marathon, the monday after which I'll rather not go to school, either.

So, in the end, it looks as if I should start counting the exact number of lessons my pupils and I will still be having until school ends with the end of May. And, thus, it seems like the end of my stay here - in June - will approach in a blur. Not too many tests I'll be taking, but still some - and if I don't, finally, start to sit down and really study for the language courses, it won't go nearly as well as it could and should.
Still, that's life!

Oh yes, and today - if I'm not totally mistaken - it's 50 days to Stockholm Marathon!
Also rushing towards me...

Last training session:
04/08/2008 - 01:41.24,9 - 17.2 km - 5'54 min/km - 157 HR avg. - TE 4.6
Haven't been doing too much, sports-wise, recently. So, and because I simply wanted to, I let myself run freely, not trying to keep within a certain HR or pace range. Actually, it was a nice change...

... and on

Now, one more class to teach today, and then let's see what I'll make of this evening.

I asked one girl I rather like (that may be an understatement, but I am rather reserved - except when I'm not) if she had plans for the weekend. I had started thinking that not asking may be the one thing I might later regret...
Well, she does have plans, and it may be better this way (there is a reason I didn't ask her a long time ago). I've been saying that I have "sus.y" as a lover - which is how I often abbreviate sustainability... and "she" seems to be a possessive one, too.

Still, better a life goal than just drifting along distractedly. I have also, always, thought that most people party hard not out of enjoyment, but to let the simple sensual experience make them forget that they don't really know what they are here for. An extreme view? Yes, of course.

I won't go torture others with that opinion, however. It's how I see it, and acting accordingly is the right thing for me. Doesn't have to be so for you. I do wonder, though, why drinking and partying is, all in all, so easily supported whereas deep thinking is seen as strange. Stupid world.

Seasons of Running

First of all, something I'd been wanting to say for a while:
Outdoors - in my opinion: real - running brings back to experiencing the cycle of the seasons in a way that, otherwise, only gardening can in this age of virtual, passive adventures.

Last Sunday, I ran the same track as the Sunday before, for the largest part.
However, just those two weeks ago, it was a run in snowstorms, with just a bit of sunshine here and there, employing the winter clothing.
The later Sunday, one week ago, I hardly recognized the streets as the same because all the run was in sun and warm temperatures, with the light clothing.

Two days ago, I think I may have caused a light accident.
At least, as I was running on the walkway along the side of a busy street, a car braked a little too slow and bumped into the truck in front of it. I had been getting so many stares, with the all-black, tight clothing, sports glasses, ... I wouldn't be surprised if the driver had been staring at me.
Certainly, I got a girl honking the horn (or letting the driver do so - it was a taxi and she was on the second seat) and waving at me ;-)

Lately, I have been feeling as if I didn't quite know whether the running was fun or a chore.
Certainly, my lazy side is telling me that I needed to do too many other things to go out running, and that maybe I should just stay in. Once I go out, however, it's nice to be moving.
I still am unsure whether it's fun or work, but I sure do enjoy it. Yesterday, for example, I just wanted to go for a short run, and I feel that's all it was - but it still was more than one hour.
It's definitely come to the point that it's a part of my life.

Honestly, I think I do need to check for periodization - I may need to take it slower for a little while. Mainly, however, I think it's just that the marathons are drawing closer. It's less than 50 days to Riga Marathon, already (I missed mentioning that mark before), so these trials of mine are looming larger.

The end is near (update)...

Right after my last post, got an email and we decided to chalk the problems with my courses at the Pedagogical Faculty up to communication problems. Sounds like it should all work out, after all. (I always expect the worst - at least as a psychological defense mechanism - but I am actually pretty optimistic a person.)

These last days, I also noticed that the end of this stay in Latvia is getting closer in another way:

I've been "seeing" the city through the perspective of what I'll probably feel about having been - not just touristically, but living and working - here once I've been away for a while.

It's a very strange mixture, because I feel somewhat at home, and at the same time that it's not quite my scene. Which may simply imply that a professor of mine, who said that those who study cultural anthropology are typically those who are not quite at home in their native countries, was right.
On the other hand, going away is typically - and it's been so now - to come to value your home country and see it rather more favorably.
Anyways, whereever I should come to be, there will be both good and bad sides to it, and it will be good for the experience I seek to gain.

The end is near...

... after all, the second half of the second semester has started.
June would only be for "individual work" and tests (and most tests are scheduled for May, actually).

I finally managed to finish and hand in the work which was to be done for my two to three (maybe four) courses at the Pedagogical Faculty, only to be told that I could only get fewer credits for this semester's course, since I don't participate in the classes.
Now, I'm waiting to hear that my writing did not follow the conventions and was therefore not acceptable, and that my lesson plans (required for "Teaching Practice") were also not as they are supposed to be. Of course, it was all done as we had decided by e-mail - or so I would have thought, but it seems not to be so.
So, I'm picking a fight... and don't really want to have too much to do with this department and that work anymore.

Well, not quite right because the writing is part of my work on parkour, and I want to get that finished to the point of being a manuscript, and to get that published - now even more so. Yet alone, to get back to writing on my work beyond that.

If only I could find a breakthrough into the world of academia. Finally.Certainly, I won't if I can't get writing done for which I have at least some data.

On the upside, I was just informed that my application for a lectureship in China will be sent to the universities there for their decision, and the call for applications for the scholarship for studying in Japan (Monbukagakusho) is now open. One further step, and another possibility to go for.

Since yesterday, I'm living with a roommate again, and it looks like it will work out alright. Sure, less quiet, rather less sleep, but not so different from before - and lower rent to pay.

Let's see if I can take the next steps in the next few months, here in Latvia and back in Austria.
