Odd how it took just a couple of weeks at the university and all sense of fun and irony had vanished from my fellow Abiturienten (high-school graduates). Life apparently catches on fast.
Several years later at a wedding I met some of them again, now physicians, and all the humour they might have had at the Gymnasium had turned into acid cynicism. - And they had the most terrible girlfriends all seeming to derive from the same stupid stock.
Yet according to some my husband and me have never actually changed through all this.
