“[...] – Nach der Anspannung in den vergangenen Wochen war jetzt nur noch Tanzen angesagt: Lauter gelöste Gesichter sah man beim Examensball in der Mensa – zufriedene Lehramts-Examinierte, stolze Eltern und Freunde, die bei der Übergabe der Zeugnisse übermütige Sprechchöre anstimmten. [Read more »]
