Day 23: History Lecture

Hallo all! It is week 4 and I cannot believe it! So, today was another long day of Goethe classes. But it went by pretty quickly, which was nice. Only seven more day of Freiburg! After class, Andrea and I went grocery shopping, which is always fun. Then, we attended a lecture on German history (in German). It was quite interesting and I was happy with how much I understood out of all of it. I even got three pages of notes! I guess that it is good that I have taken so many classes on World War II because I was able to follow the chronology pretty well. It ended up that if all of our Union class had attended the lecture, we would have gotten a "bonus." Three out of six of us attended, but there's still a chance that our Thursday test will be take home as a result! Sweeet! So, we worked on some homework after the lecture...but we ended up getting side-tracked in an extensive conversation with Professor Nelson. Interesting stuff!

Last night, we ended up walking around Freiburg a bit. We might do the same tonight. Nothing much new to report. It's nice that we only have ten more days here and then some time for traveling. I really do like Freiburg and I know that I am going to miss it very much, but I am also looking forward to a change of scenery and it will be nice to live in such a historic city for a month (Berlin)! So, that's about it for now. After all of these life contemplations, the past few days have been pretty restful. Hope all is well! 'Til next time...Tschuess!
