Congrats! Let’s celebrate somehow. But not by breaking body parts. Maybe breaking bread or getting a break or breaking habits or breaking all hell loose or breaking out in a rash (of happiness) or breaking the mold or make or break or getting a lucky break or taking a break or breaking news or breaking through or breaking with tradition or breaking wind…

Yup–probably where the stage “good luck” of “Break a leg” comes from.

Idiomatic German to be sure! (Or is it colloquial??!!)

Thanks All!

I am proud of the achievement, just no more so than at the end of every other semester. Weird.

Yeah, for some reason all I recall from those days is swimming pools (chlorine smell?), tiny bubbles (the song), grandpa’s pool table those horn rimmed glasses and fresh chipati. I don’t understand it all, but those are the main memories from that period.

Gee, Dad those (us?) Germans are a bit over the top! Break your neck AND a Leg?!

First, congratulations are certainly in order for having completed this portion of your life trek. You don’t feel any “real sense of accomplishment” because you know you are just on a stop along the way to your final goal–whatever that may be. My feelings were similar when I got my undergraduate degree, although you were too young to remember.
Nonetheless, it is an accomplishment–a family accomplishment of all of you to get to this point. It is hard to get to this point with a family–totally different than doing it as an 18-22 year old!
And things will work out–and you’ll be happier–going down the path you are on.
Hals und Beinbruch!
