!!!PICTURE LINKS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST!!!
Hello folks,
Sorry for the delay...things have been quite busy in my life as of lately! I'll try to play a little bit of catch up...
The beginning of October called for the end of my Sprachkurs...thank goodness. I did quite a bit better on the final compared to the 'midterm' test (which I badly failed). I ended up getting a 2,3 in the class (which is comparable to an American good pass....a high B). The grade doesn't matter though, as long as I get a decent pass (anything above a 4) I will get credits transfer, and the grades won't affect my GPA.
We went on our week trip to Berlin last week! It was awesome! We stayed at a pretty sweet hotel near the center of East Berlin. There were so many cool things to see, I can't even start to name them all! I took lots of pictures, and I'll include links at the end of this post... Some of the main things we did included touring museums (including Checkpoint Charlie and the Pergamon), visiting the Brandenburger Tor (one of the many places we were approached by Romanian beggars... "Speak English??"), Berliner Dom, and we ate at several fantastic restaurants. We saw a theater production which was a pretty cool variety show. I went to a goth type bar/club which was really interesting...I was actually sick most of the week (what, me sick? no...) which was kind of a bummer, but I still managed to have a good time!
So what have I been doing with my life? Well...I've been getting ready for classes (which start for me on Tuesday!) and just trying to organize my life here. Here's what my schedule looks like...
Monday: No class
Tuesday: Innovation Economics (8-10)
Wednesday: Foreign Bodies in Modern England (10-12), German to English Translation I (1:15-2:45)
Thursday: Nationalism & Ethnic Conflict (10-12)
Friday: No class
Yes, that means 4 day weekend every weekend! Hopefully I'll get to do a lot of traveling around Germany, even if it means by myself... please send travel monies my way!! :)
Speaking of travel, one of my friends here and I purchased train tickets to see my sister in Prague this Friday! Only 60 Euros by train with the Europa special...not bad at all!! Hopefully she will have some fun things planned for us... hint hint!
I don't really have much else to say... sometimes pictures say more than words, so here are the links that you've been waiting for!!
