Hallo! Wie geht's? Three days to go! Wow... Well it is very late here. I guess that you could say that we are attempting to get back onto US time. I am currently at Paula and Anna's and we have been doing work all night long...and all morning long too. So, let me first recount the day. I woke up and worked on some projects, but I was a bit worried about not having an adapter. I headed to school and got some advice on where I could find one. I didn't really want to buy another one with only a few days left, but I definitely needed to plug my computer in to work on all of our projects and I also was able to find one for very cheap. Class was driving me a bit crazy. We had presentations for the first section, which was okay. We then did some grammar (German 101 and Freiburg all over again...lovely). But we also had some interesting discussions about the Holocaust and life in modern Berlin. I like my teacher, which is really interesting for me because she is pretty gruff. My Freiburg teacher was so nice, but this one is just entertaining with the way she critiques us. It was interesting to gain the "stereotypical" German perspective in relation to immigrants. Much of what our teacher said confirmed what was said during our tour last Friday, but it kind of made me sad that there are so different viewpoints. I could definitely see how some of these differences could lead to prejudice. After class, Andrea and I headed to Alexanderplatz in search of my adapter and some gifts. Then, I started doing some more work, and was messaged by Paula and Anna. They were having trouble with their computer and so I went over to their house to let them use mine for their video project. And I have been here ever since! I am glad that I am staying here tonight, it is nice to have a break from my apartment. I am very happy with how much I have gotten done. I have not procrastinated and I am pretty much very close to being done with the final three projects we have. Awesome! And then it's summer! I'm not sure what I am up to tomorrow, but hopefully we won't be too exhausted. I don't think I'm going to have too much trouble with jet lag. Well, I better get back to work. Hope all is well! 'Til next time...Tschuess!
