week 3 and week 4

My scheduling for this two weeks was getting out of control because I felt sick and I realized how much work it is to make up leeway! Yes, we have had two weeks time to read the chapter and to solve the task but I'm honest this reading is really time-consuming even if it is interesting to read - to lay it on the line, it is a lot! Parallel we have to read and arrange other things for other courses for example reading Schopenhauers' Parerga et Paralipomena and things like that! 
Finally I also have to say something positive! I'm happy that I have the chance and the challenge to improve my english; one side benefit is, that after reading the chapters I'm thinking in english, maybe soon I will dream in english!


Short reflection concerning the group work: 
We organized everything very well; everybody has had his part and we worked together through the script at the same time, which was very funny on Google docs, like many busy bees! (Google docs is great!)
At the end I also want to mention something important here - this was really a teamwork, thanks for the appreciation and the tolerance!

Week 2

Wow, this week we received the first specialized literature!
It is a quite interesting text but of course you need more time to read and understand this script as you would if it would be in german - but I'm sure that will only be in the beginning because you have to get familiar with specialized literature in english but I'm looking forward to the following scripts and tasks!
At the moment I have to look a few words up which costs a little bit time but one reason why I participate in this course is because I want to improve my english. The screen lecture was quite comprehensible and explicitly and manageable!
I'm looking forward what the other participants will say about the "balance" video! I hope my story for the SORC-scheme will be as interesting as the one about Marvin!

"Balance"

- maybe the people are reflecting our mind with his variety of nerve cells
- at the beginning there is a conjunction and interaction between every nerve cell
- suddenly the nerve cells loose their balance and the interaction is out of order because of a sudden
  event
- one nerve cell gets infected (box) because it is vulnerable
- than more nerve cells get infected (box is moving)
- the body with the other nerve cells (platform with the people which try to counterbalance) tries to  
  compensate
- at the end it isn't possible to compensate and the other nerve cells get infected/ destroyed/ or loose there
  ability to work properly
- than the normal protection is getting lost

result: no balance, no possibility to compensate
