<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've never considered any commonalities between Conor "Bright Eyes" Oberst and Christian "Bishop Allen" Rudder, but now, after growns-up Conor has cultivated a striking resemblance to Rudder (in his new video for "Souled Out" (&#60;-- clever spelling!), I may have to re-think things.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Bachelor of Arts play aggressive, minimal, jerky post punk with creative driving beats.<span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&#34;">I spoke to the super nice Angus from the band about Stanley Kubrick, travelling to Germany and the trials and  tribulations being in an independent band.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"> </p>
<p></font></span></span> </p>
<p></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">                        <img style="cursor:pointer;" src="http://by111w.bay111.mail.live.com/att/GetAttachment.aspx?tnail=0&#38;messageId=b5cae43a-d8b2-49df-9bb5-49de1ca58fc7&#38;Aux=54&#124;0&#124;8CACBB235AD19D0&#124;" alt="" width="512" height="366" /></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:6pt 6pt 0;"><strong><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></strong><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">How did you guys get together?</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Bill and I were working on some ideas together and initially, Kevin our bassist and I were planning to start a separate, more intense project. We ended up merging the two ideas and replacing a lot of the keyboards and effects of the first phase of songs with more aggressive sounds. Pretty much BOA Mk1 - which exists now only as a few hundred demos floating around and a pretty amusing VICE interview if you can find it - is a completely different project to what we do now. It's funny also that a label in Spain got onto us and released the demo over there a while back. I'm not sure what they think of how it's all turned out so far.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">You guys seem to incorporate a range of influences into your sound rather than having one from a direct era or scene. When it comes to writing do you guys go in with a specific sound in mind?</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> We write pop songs and that in itself is pretty much timeless in its aesthetics. Most of our songs these days are written together in the rehearsal studio but when it comes to more worked out individual ideas, we often record with very specific influences in mind, email them to each other then finally work them out and adapt them back in the studio. I wouldn't say that we're exclusive about maintaining a sound, especially considering our rebirth, however we are very keen to make sure that the songs we write best represent the group as we see it at the time. It happens quite a bit that we'll agree a song is good but it's just not right for BOA. </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">When you write do you go for the more traditional singer/songwriter feel starting with a guitar or are you more beat influenced</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> Definitely beat influenced; either that or repetitive patterns within the guitar or bass. Often we don't really play particularly complex passages compared to some of the stuff we scheme about and it's definitely a priority to streamline and refine but always have the parts working so that we can really go for it when we play live. There's a few tracks on the album that fit into the whole noise movement too. We've always been pretty keen on that stuff; it's a nice stab into the otherwise pop direction we've been going along. It's funny calling what we do pop - it's definitely within the loosest constraints of what you might otherwise associate with that word.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">What movie do you think your music would best accompany and why?</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> 2001: A Space Odyssey. The future, the past and some neat cryptic stuff that no-one truly can understand. Hmm, maybe it works in theory but probably not in reality. I've been checking out some Guy Sherwin shorts recently and it'd be exciting to work with a filmmaker of that direction; someone who is working intricately with light-space and visual rhythms.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Are film and books direct influences on your sound?</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> Yes; I tend to think that a group can't help but be influenced by everything. I mean, we don't exist in a vacuum. I live with two visual artists so there's always a steady stream of stuff to get inspired by but I guess that overall, I tend to get influenced by the conceptualism of folks like John Cage or Kasimir Malevich more than anything else. It can be a bit hazardous. On the flip-side, Bill is very well read and tends to draw from some really interesting works. Our album Infinite Jest has a literary namesake if you hunt it down.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Where do you guys feel more comfortable, studio or on stage?</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> Ah, of course; the age old debate. Both have their merits. We began in the studio so it will always feel natural and we are lucky to be able to move so quickly in that environment. But really, right now, we're about playing live. There's a certain characteristic that music takes on when you have the luxury of it surrounding you.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">What are some of the difficulties facing a young indie band?</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I think mostly the attitude that by being in a band, you're the most important person in the world. Sure, everyone is important but c'mon, really? My favourite groups are without fail, genuinely nice people who do what they do because they love it. The ones that succeed, if that's something that matters to you, aren't generally the ones that intend to from the outset. In fact most bands i really love come to exist by a series of chance accidents. It's really easy to make art, it just seriously matters whether or not you're doing it for the right reason for you.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Plans for the immediate future for Bachelor of Arts</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> At the moment, we're really excited to be releasing our debut record Infinite Jest in Australia. Early next year we're putting a split 7" out with NYC band Dinowalrus in the US and also are doing another vinyl release with some more good friends from Brooklyn a few months later.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Are their any plans to take your music overseas?</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> Yes actually. After the album release and tour, we're taking a few months off to work on stuff before heading overseas to play some shows and release the album elsewhere. At the moment we're scheduled to be in Germany around February then off to a few more places after that. I can kind of see relocation working for the band at some stage along the line. Maybe, maybe not. We feel pretty embedded within Melbourne at the moment.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> <strong><span style="color:#000000;">Now can you give me your best over the top NME style description of the band?</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> I believe a magazine writer once called us "Brash-In-Your-Face-Jerky-Post-Rock that makes you want to slam your face into a wall" - or something of that effect. I don't really know what the NME would think of that. I mean, I don't even know what I think of that really! We're just making music; other people can work on the slogans.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Tour dates below chump-a-trons!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">They mix the usual influences of post punk, but they put a new twist of things on the genre, mainly because of the singer's barritone (not in the done to death Ian Curtis way), yet still, powerfully emotional voice.  They sound like </span><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvlS4BwTUQw" target="_blank">The Birthday Party </a></span><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">if they had more of a pop sensibility and high rotation. For me, at the moment, their killer tune is "The Void". </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">They are touring all around Oz with another promising indie band </span><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;"><a href="http://www.myspace.com/mercyarms" target="_blank">Mercy Arms,</a>. S</span><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">o get off the internet and check these bands out!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">Next up is </span><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;"><a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&#38;friendid=57400453">Bachelor Of Arts. </a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">                              <a id="ctl00_cpMain_ViewImageControl_ucImageView_PhotoNoter1_hypImageNext" href="http://loudnoiseandpictures.wordpress.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&#38;friendID=57400453&#38;albumID=2055&#38;imageID=16701120#a=2055&#38;i=13024473"><img src="http://a184.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/54/l_c1af89d537c806ced39b31a839538f8f.jpg" alt="" width="308" height="200" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">These guys mix aggressive punk with some relentless drumming and extremely raw angular post punk guitar. The song "Apathy" is a perfect example of the mad rhythms and pulsating bass that these guys create. While the singer almost cries out cryptic lyrics that no one understands. No one, that is, other than those people who study math rock. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:7.5pt;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;">A must listen are tracks "AMPM" &#38; "Teresa." Gee, these guys are really, really good and it's illegal if you like your indie rock and you haven’t listen to these guys yet, so get on it!</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[So today Jerry and I went to the Monash Uni open day. We went and got info on Psych courses and such]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So today Jerry and I went to the Monash Uni open day. We went and got info on Psych courses and such~ it was fun... We sat in on the lecture at 2:30 which was pretty good, but it's still really confusing. I think I'll still do the <strong>Bachelor of Psychology</strong> though... but I didn't realise, that the electives you chose have to be in a certain group (like, Bio, Sociology, etc..) and you can't do languages ! (That's the advantage of doing a <strong>Bachelor of Arts</strong>). It's pretty exciting to be thinking about everything~~<br />
The thing that sucks though, is to get into the honors year, you have to get an average of 80% over all your Psych-major 3rd year subjects (T_T). I'll be really stressing then... because with the BoP you're a bit screwed if you don't continue with Psych related courses...</p>
<p>I went and got information about Jap &#38; French as well, I think I'll do a <strong>Diploma of Languages</strong> with those two, as well. It'd should be fun~ I can't wait to do Jap ! The lady at the stand was telling me about it, she asked me if liked Manga, lol. (Jerry thinks that all teachers would assume people starting Jap would be doing it because they're interested in Manga). She said there as a Manga translation group LOL. (Losers). I'm doing it because I love Jpop, of course~~~~~~~~~~~ m(^_^)m</p>
<p>French was kinda conusing though. If you do yr12 french and get 30 you should do French 6/7, but if you get higher than that and stayed there on exchange you should do 8/9, so I'm confused as to which I should do~ I don't want it to be too easy or too hard !!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I feel a bit sad otherwise... I don't know what's wrong. My eye's not that bad, it hasn't hurt since friday, but like, I just feel bored ('_')<br />
Like there's not much to do ('_')<br />
School work is boring. I feel behind with Methods, and even though it's stuff I did last year, I still should do the work~~ I'm afraid of failing and not getting into Psych next year =[ But I can't be bothered studying !!!! French is boring too. Flute, however, I've actually been managing to get practice done everyday... so yay for that ! But bleh. I felt constantly tired today,,, boo.... I wanna cry～～～ 泣きたい！！！</p>

<description><![CDATA[I am always jealous of people who are bilingual. Or trilingual. Or multilingual. 
And you should be ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">I am always jealous of people who are bilingual. Or trilingual. Or multilingual. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">And you should be jealous of them, too. Here are the top five reasons why. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><strong>Number one</strong>, they are smarter than people who don’t speak a second language. Well, at least, they use more of their brains in a more synthesized manner than mere “monolinguals”. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><strong>Number two</strong>, they are actually in the MAJORITY worldwide. So anyone who doesn’t speak more than one language? Not keeping up with the rest of the world, I’m afraid, most of whom who can switch back and forth between languages without blinking an eye. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><strong>Number three</strong>, when they don’t want you to know what they are talking about, they just switch off to rapidly speaking in a different language and you are left without a clue. Are they saying things that are nice? Mean? Indifferent? Making fun of you because you have black ink smudged all over your face? Who can say?</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><strong>Number four</strong>, they look much more cosmopolitan than you do when they break out a book written in another language while travelling by plane, train, or automobile.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><strong>Number five</strong>, they have a world of opportunities available to them, and some of these are pretty glamorous, like being translators or foreign diplomats. Or <em>spies. </em></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">So. Bottom line. Declaring a major in French/Spanish (or any other language, for that matter, except maybe Latin – NO OFFENCE TO MY LATIN PROF, WHO ROCKED) is a very good decision because it is very useful to know another language. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">If you want to declare a major in French or Spanish, you are in for more than just grammar and pronunciation classes. You may take classes in literature, film, culture and other topics related to the language you are learning. Perhaps you will take a French class in university on <strong>Women Writers from the French-Colonized Islands, </strong>or <strong>French Canadian Language, Literature, and Film. </strong>You might take a Spanish class like <strong>Contemporary Hispanic Cultures </strong>or <strong>Hispanic Cinema </strong>or even <strong>Spanish Literature and Culture from the 18<sup>th</sup> Century to the Spanish Civil War.</strong></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">And don’t forget about classes that teach you how to do translations. Way beyond conjugating “faire” and “avoir” or “ser” and “estar”. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">For more information on a French/Spanish major and how to get started on one at Red Deer College, visit </span><a href="http://www.rdc.ab.ca/humss"><span style="font-size:small;color:#800080;font-family:Calibri;">www.rdc.ab.ca/humss</span></a><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;"> or call (403) 342.3304 or email </span><a href="mailto:ba@rdc.ab.ca"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">ba@rdc.ab.ca</span></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So tonight I cooked dinner. I made stirfy! It was really nice surprisingly~ I put three eggs in it, plus carrots, onion, garlic (yum), some caulliflower (what little was left...), and the meat... and noodles. The meat was pretty tender because I cooked it quickly first and took it out. Most of the time it's always tough as old boots when you leave it in for the whole time...<br />
I used this Honey &#38; Garlic sauce in it too which made it taste OISHII~~~~~</p>
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="719" caption="Meat and Eggs, Noodles, Final Product"]<img src="http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/9914/dinnerjuly21fw7.jpg" alt="Meat and Eggs, Noodles, Final Product" width="719" height="180" />[/caption]
<p>It's 10:30PM on Monday and I have to go to school tomorrow! Not fair! It's been over 3 weeks since term 2 ended. I've got 9 weeks to go and really that's it... it's quite scary when you think about it...</p>
<p>I'm a bit afraid of what's after school, to be honest. I mean, it's like, a giant void. You grow up with school, something you <strong>have</strong> to do every day no matter what (well, unless you wag *cough*), and it's just always been there.. for as long as I can remember... SCHOOL....<br />
And then in 4 months it's all over. No more tests or exams, no more Catholic "lets go to Mass and pray to JESUS!" and stupid uniform, no more immaturity and no more homophobes, jocks, wogs, aimless groups and stupid idiots~~<br />
Though I will be sad to leave Xavier, I must admit. Even though it's a shit school, I love my teachers. Especially Mme Vanderstichelle and Ms. Black (well her name's Mrs McGann, but I first had her in yr10 before she got married...). They're amazing &#60;3 Mme V always makes French fun and exciting, and she's a great woman to talk to. Ms Black is so cool too. She's only like, 26ish, but she's so hilarious! I reckon she'd make a good blonde, because sometimes she's just SO ditzy. Though she's really smart. (I mean, she got like 97 or 98 or something incredibly high for her VCE score, and she did Physics and Maths at university &#62;.&#62; )</p>
<p>So next year... I'm going to try and get into a <strong>Bachelor of Psychology</strong> at Monash University... either that or a <strong>Bachelor of Arts</strong>. I really want to do Psychology, I made up my mind on that about two years ago... but I also really want to continue learning French, and also pick up Japanese. I can do both of those in an Arts degree, but I'm not sure about the Psychology. (If I did an Arts of course, I'dhave to do a double major in Psych). ~_~ it's all so confusing.</p>
<p>My head feels like it's going to explode.....</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Gesprächsrunde mit drei »Bachelor of Arts«-Studentinnen von der Alanus Hochschule über ihr Studium und die Praxisphasen in den Filialen der Alnatura Super Natur Märkte.</em></p>
<h2>Anstrengend, aber gut<img src="http://www.alnatura.de/image/image_content/BachelorofArts_250x240.jpg" border="0" alt="Platzhalter 	Eine persönliche Betreuung ihrer Studenten betrachtet Alnatura als eine der Kernaufgaben. Regelmäßige Treffen finden in der Alnatura Zentrale in Bickenbach statt. Nathalie Zydek (u.)" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="250" height="240" align="right" /></h2>
<p><em>Nathalie Zydek, Mitarbeiterin Alnatura Mitarbeiterservice &#38; Entwicklung:</em><br />
Wie verlief Ihre Praxisphase in der Filiale? Wie ist die Stimmung?</p>
<p><em>Mona Thraen, Studentin:</em><br />
Die Praxisphase war interessant, das Team, die Kollegen und die Filialleiterin waren super. In der nächsten Praxisphase wäre es gut, auch andere BWL-Dinge in der Zentrale mitzubekommen. Über Teamarbeit, Kommunikation habe ich viel gelernt, aber nichts, was mit dem Studium zu tun hat.</p>
<p><em>Hannah Jäkel, Studentin:</em><br />
Ich finde es sogar gut, dass es nicht so viel mit dem Studium zu tun hat.</p>
<p><em>Joachim Schledt, Leiter Alnatura Mitarbeiterservice &#38; Entwicklung:</em><br />
Warum haben Sie sich für dieses spezielle BWL-Studium Bachelor of Arts an der Alanus Hochschule entschieden?</p>
<p><em>Mona Thraen:</em><br />
Ich sehe das Studium als Grundlage für etwas in der Zukunft, ich weiß aber noch nicht genau was. Die Kombination aus Wirtschaft, Praxis und Kunst ist sehr gut. Ich wollte ursprünglich Psychologie studieren, habe zufällig Alanus entdeckt, fand es interessant und habe mich beworben. Für den Studienplatz an der Alanus habe ich meinen Platz in Psychologie aufgegeben. <!--more--> <img class="mce_plugin_wordpress_more" src="http://www.fernstudium-magazin.de/wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/images/spacer.gif" alt="weiter..." width="100%" height="10" /></p>
<p><em>Malve-Marie Freischem, Studentin:</em><br />
Jeder darf so sein, wie er ist - Künstler oder BWLer. Für mich ist dieses Studium die Basis, um dann weiterzumachen. Ich möchte später Sonderpädagogik studieren.</p>
<p><em>Hannah Jäkel:</em><br />
Der Praxisbezug ist gut und der künstlerische Ausgleich.</p>
<p><em>Nathalie Zydek:</em><br />
Wie funktioniert die Zusammenarbeit mit studentischen Praktikanten aus der Sicht einer Filialleiterin?</p>
<p><em><img src="http://www.alnatura.de/image/image_content/BachelorofArts6_250x240.jpg" border="0" alt="" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="250" height="240" align="right" />Jacqueline Seyfert, Filialleiterin Alnatura Super Natur Markt in Mannheim:</em><br />
Es ist am Anfang immer schwer, während des stressigen Filialalltags die Praktikanten einzuführen bzw. anzuleiten. Sie werden praktisch ins kalte Wasser geworfen.</p>
<p><em>Hannah Jäkel:</em><br />
Ja, aber es war nicht so schlimm.</p>
<p><em>Nathalie Zydek:</em><br />
Wie war es bei den anderen?</p>
<p><em>Mona Thraen:</em><br />
Ich fühlte mich sehr gut angeleitet. Ich glaube, ich könnte jetzt schon eine Schlüsselposition übernehmen.</p>
<p><em>Joachim Schledt:</em><br />
Wir kooperieren mit der Alanus Hochschule, weil wir Führungsnachwuchs suchen, insbesondere für unsere Filialen. Was kann Alnatura tun, um die Praxisphase für Sie attraktiver zu gestalten?</p>
<p><em>Mona Thraen:</em><br />
Mehr Kontakt zu den Produkten, ihrer Entwicklung und ihrer strategischen Vermarktung im Produktmanagement herstellen. Das würde mich interessieren.</p>
<p><em>Hannah Jäkel</em>:<br />
Ich möchte wissen, wie so ein Unternehmen organisiert wird, wie im Sortimentsmanagement gearbeitet wird. Was ist mit der Marktforschung, der Expansionsabteilung?</p>
<p><em>Malve-Marie Freischem:</em><br />
Es ist toll, in der Filiale für etwas zuständig zu sein, gebraucht zu werden. Zum Beispiel habe ich Herrn Prof. Rehn auf den schlechten EAN-Code bei den Champignons hingewiesen, eine Woche später wurde das geändert. Das fand ich toll.</p>
<p><em>Mona Thraen:</em><br />
Ich hätte gerne mehr Verantwortung für einen Bereich übernommen, z.B. für Kundenbefragungen oder eigene Aktionen wie Verkostungen im Laden durchzuführen.</p>
<p><em>Hannah Jäkel:</em><br />
Auf jeden Fall geht man anders einkaufen. Erst jetzt weiß man, wie anstrengend diese Arbeit ist. Vorher macht man sich keine Gedanken darüber, woher die Ware in den Regalen kommt. Das Bewusstsein ist anders geworden.</p>
<p><em><img src="http://www.alnatura.de/image/image_content/BachelorofArts2_250x240.jpg" border="0" alt="" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="250" height="240" align="right" />Malve-Marie Freischem:</em><br />
Ja, es ist eine einmalige Erfahrung, man lernt sehr viel.</p>
<p><em>Mona Thraen:</em><br />
Wir sind ja erst aus der Schule raus und haben vorher noch nie gearbeitet. Es war schon anstrengend.</p>
<p><em>Jacqueline Seyfert:</em><br />
Wenn man Filialleiterin ist, dann merkt man das gar nicht, dass es anstrengend ist. Es macht einfach Spaß und dann denkt man auch nicht an die Arbeitszeit.</p>
<p><em>Malve-Marie Freischem:</em><br />
Man hat jetzt einen ganz anderen Blick für den Laden und wird nie wieder unfreundlich sein zu einem Verkäufer.</p>
<p><em>Mona Thraen:</em><br />
Alnatura ist sehr cool. Menschlich habe ich sehr viel gelernt.</p>
<p><em>Hannah Jäkel:</em><br />
Kunden und Mitarbeiter sind bei Alnatura ein ganz anderer Schlag Mensch.</p>
<p><em>Mona Thraen:</em><br />
Ich bin froh bei Alnatura zu sein, weil ich dahinterstehe.</p>
<p><em>Hannah Jäkel:</em><br />
Mir ist wichtig, dass es Bio-Lebensmittel sind.</p>
<p><em>Nathalie Zydek:</em><br />
Was glaubt ihr, warum kombiniert man BWL mit Kunstinhalten?</p>
<p><em>Hannah Jäkel:</em><br />
Um Ausgleich zu schaffen?</p>
<p><em>Mona Thraen:</em><br />
In der »normalen« Wirtschaft fehlt es oft an Phantasie. Für die Zukunft braucht man aber Engagement, Kreativität und Offenheit. Das wird durch die Kunstinhalte unterstützt.</p>
<p><em>Malve-Marie Freischem:</em><br />
Eurythmie und Theater stärken übrigens auch die Teamfähigkeit. Wir mussten innerhalb von fünf Minuten einen Satz eurythmisch darstellen, ohne eine Ahnung davon zu haben, was das überhaupt ist. Da lernt man auch, spontan zu handeln und Führung zu übernehmen.</p>
<p><em>Hannah Jäkel:</em><br />
Man wird als Mensch in vielen Richtungen gebildet. Ich glaube, es kommt gar nicht darauf an, Spielchen zu machen. Die Kunst öffnet neue Wege.</p>
<p><em>Nathalie Zydek:</em><br />
Muss man künstlerisch begabt sein, um sich für das Studium bewerben zu können?</p>
<p><em>Mona Thraen:</em><br />
Nein, man muss nur offen sein für Neues.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ein Titel erworben und was kann ich damit machen ?? Die Vielfalt an Berufen gerade im Bereich Marketing ist sehr groß. </p>
<p>Hier nur eine kleine Auswahl: Marketing- Assistenz, Werbeagentur, Produktentwickler, Marktforscher, Brand- Manager, ...</p>
<p>Nachdem ich mich meinem Ende des Studium immer mehr annähere, macht man sich schon Gedanken darüber, wie man sich "schimpfen" darf und was man damit eigentlich machen kann.</p>
<p>In meinem Fall bin ich dann Bachelor of Arts in International Marketing. Soviel zu dem Thema, aber was kann ich denn machen oder für welche Berufe wurde ich ausgebildet. Gerade im Marketing ist die Liste lang, wie die obige Liste zeigt.</p>
<p>Spannende Themen sind zur Zeit vor allem z.B. das Thema Networking, wozu ich einige Blogs in die Blogroll aufgenommen habe, besonders interessant finde ich persönlich den <a href="http://www.themenblog.de/soziale_netzwerke/" target="_blank">Themenbolg zu sozialen Netzwerken</a>. Des Weiteren ist <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virales_Marketing" target="_blank">Virales Marketing </a>ein spannendes Thema, mit diesem Thema befasst sich auch <a href="http://denisehammer. wordpress.com" target="_blank">Denise Hammer</a> in ihrem Blog. Hierzu findet sich auch bei <a href="http://www.vm-people.de" target="_blank">vm- people</a>  Interessantes. Ein ebenso spannendes Thema ist das Thema <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromarketing" target="_blank">Neuromarketing</a>, dazu schreibt <a href="http://ninametzner.wordpress.com" target="_blank">Nina Metzner</a> in ihrem Blog..</p>
<p>Aus meiner Sicht ist vor allem das Thema soziale Netzwerke interessant, wie man vielleicht bereits an meinen bisherigen Beiträgen merken konnte. :-)</p>
<p>Vielleicht könnt ihr mir eure persönlichen Erfahrungen zu diesen Thema mitteilen?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Tahoma;">It was during my third year in graduation from Delhi University that I got a chance to read Bachelor of Arts by R.K.Narayan. And from that time onwards, it has become one of my favourites. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Tahoma;">Bachelor of Arts is a story about a young guy named Chandran, who has just passed college and is preparing to go to London for higher studies. During this period, he comes across a girl named Malti. It is love at first sight. From day one, the hero develops a liking for this girl, but cannot get the guts to propose to her directly. </span></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Tahoma;">But he sure has guts to talk marriage to his parents. Being the eldest son, even his father (who is a staunch Hindu and believes that the girl’s side must take initiative) accedes to his wishes. But god had different plans. The marriage never happens. The stars don’t match the bride and the groom and Malti is married to another person. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Tahoma;">The story doesn’t end here. The hero flees from home to become a sanyasi or one who has given up the worldly life. Grows beard, eats less, and lives like a sanyasi. But his mind is not calm, the number one prerequisite to become a sanyasi. One day he thinks the futility of all these. Why has he left his parents, who catered to every desire of his for twenty years; only for a girl whom he had met just a month ago? As soon as the thinking dawns upon him, the desire to return home becomes strong in his mind. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Tahoma;">And he does return. Though the return is painful, he slowly gets accustomed to life. And he does fall in love once again. This time with a girl who his parents have suggested for marriage. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Tahoma;">I loved this book and until I gave this book to a friend would read it often. What about you all. Have you had a chance to go thru this book? If not, I will strongly recommend Bachelor of Arts by R.K. Narayan.</span></p>
