Found a new challenge
Yesterday was quite a busy day. Although I had to fight my uprising cold I had several commitments for the evening, which of course had to be fulfilled. First of all I managed to be one of the first guests of our “Feki.de hat Bock”-Party at the Haas-Terasse in Bamberg. Luckily having drunk a strong beer all thoughts about my cold where gone, and I could move forward to the members meeting of the RCDS in Bamberg e.V.. Since I’m no member of any political students union I’m sure you are curious about the purpose of my visit there. And it is one of those reasons, which might not seem rational for some of my friends, but in consequence to my doings during the last semesters is very rational. First I started to support the student representatives of the faculty of information systems and applied computer science, later I became elected representative for my new faculty of Social Sciences, Economics and Business Administration. I was continuously involved in university politics. Many of my friends will recall the heated discussion at the Feki.de message board. Being a representative for Feki.de, which is a non-political and independent information portal it was always a kind of strain to separate my own opinion and the things I stood for as a representative. But during this time I also learned methods to get a relatively unbiased view on all different kind of issues. But for those Problems you need also some goals how you want to solve them, and some methods how to solve them. During my time as a complete independent I could only try to convince my discussion partners with my arguments, and hope that they might act a little into the way I thought would be best to go. During this time I noticed, that on almost all of the issues (actually there is none I can think of, which won’t fit), I found some constructive partners in my argumentation working with the RCDS Bamberg. The RCDS Bamberg is a political students organisation, which is somehow related to the CSU party, and to the JU (which is the youth organisation of the before mentioned party). But the RCDS is not subject to directives of this organisation. It is an independent organisation with its own program to get the best for the students. Since it can be pretty useless to try to change anything at the university with a strong partner I decided to team up with the RCDS to move something. I managed to get the first place on the RCDS list of candidates for the university senate. My mum and my friend Lars might fall into despair, but somehow I can't live without something challenging to do. Now I have an election to win!
