I was involved in the following events (in chronological order):

• Exams for my studies in electrical engineering
• Kirchheim WuppDays
• Foodsharing at M'era Luna
• Foodsharing at Highfield Festival
• Foodsharing at Chiemsee Summer
• WuppBreak

First of all, the logistics. I travelled between those events by hitchhiking (> 1600 km) and by bike (> 200 km). Routes were:

• Munich → Kirchheim (hitchhiking alone) 200 km
• → Northeim (car by Elina, then hitchhiking with Janina Abels then hitchhiking alone) 455 km
• → Hannover (hitchhiking with Matthias Larisch) 100 km
• → Hildesheim (cargo bike riding with Matthias Larisch) 33 km
• → Hannover (hitchhiking with Matthias Larisch and the cargo bikes) 33 km
• → Leipzig (hitchhiking with Matthias Larisch) 262 km
• → Störmthaler See (cycling with trailer and Sarah, Lukas and Sarah II ) 22 km
• → Übersee (hitchhiking with Philip Engelbutzeder, Adrean Liegel, Axel Kalitzki and bike+trailer) 554 km
• → Neuried (bike riding with Fausto to Munich, then continue alone) 142 km

This gives a cool shape on Google maps. (might look the same on OpenStreetMap, didn't test ).

In all of those events, I had quite high involvement. The exams were my final exams and I wanted to finish my studies. The Kirchheim WuppDays were important to me because I spend almost all of my time for yunity and love the people. Representing foodsharing on the festivals was an experiment to test my organizational skills, coordinating a group, but also giving them room for self-organization. The WuppBreak was the final cumulation of this: me hosting my first yunity event at my parents place. I didn't foresee that this would turn out to be one of the biggest and most rampant yunity events so far, though I surely didn't take any measures to prevent it.

Relationships

Since I was with so many people in these two months, I had the amazing idea to describe the events by my relationships to others

Me and the group

During studying for the exams, I didn't feel part of a group. Since I don't have a room in Munich anymore, I stayed at a shared flat of friends of mine. It was nice there, but no group feeling for me.

As soon as I arrived in Kirchheim, I was amazed by the intense positive group dynamics! Got thoroughly greeted and hugged by everybody, most people even showed up just because of me arriving there. Even before entering the WuppDays house, a spontaneous party emerged in front of it. What felt so smooth: breakfast, lunch, dinner, dumpster diving, meetings, lamâsching!

(tbc)

What went well

• Took part in group activities

• More positive feelings for meetings in yunity

Me and other individuals

(tbw)

What went well

• (Re)connected to a number of people
• Fell in love with the amazing Janina Abels and enjoyed so many fulfilling moments together. This was about time !
• Recognized my ability - or even my tendency - to love more than one person at the same time

What went bad

• Being bitchy towards people when they do something differently than I would do it
• Did not push for clarification with Lucas Scheliga before starting an intimate relationship with his partner
• Communication with the contact person from FKP was not so enjoyable, sometimes stressful
• Did not speak with Raphael Fellmer and Martin Schott about the FSINT tool plans

What could have gone better

• More casual conversations
• Establish contact with people I don't know yet: don't know how to bridge the uncertainty that I feel towards unfamiliar persons
• Instruct people better: either if I want them to do something or they want to do something and need help

Me and myself

(tbw)

What went well

• Felt useful and had a purpose, sometimes amazing!
• A bit of guitar practice & singing
• Took time off and got my own space
• I learned a lot about drugs, even without taking them

What went bad

• Emotional imbalance
• Got restless and could not always sleep
• Felt like missing out fun
• I feel responsible for a lot more things that I can do

What could have gone better

• More or generally regular sports
• More diverse reading: not only Slack & wiki, but stories, articles, books
• More stability
• On a broader perspective, life starts to feel more and more the same. I want to feel something new.
