German here. Had a very productive day, handing in the final research paper needed for me to graduate among other things. Also had my father read me a column from the magazine Focus, which somehow equated our team's middling performance in the WC to our performing as a society, insulted gender studies and immigrants and so forth. I told my parents that that column is the ramblings of a privileged, white, heterosexual man, who's never had to struggle in his whole life and thus does not understand the value of things. Sadly they don't get that. I'm sad to see my parents grow so conservative as they grow older. It's really a huge bummer.
