Hallo!
So my new classes are amazing.And small.Really small. But that's perfectly fine with me. My German class is going amazing,thankfully. Since its B2 we have to focus more on grammar.So half the class is grammar and the other is reading. She's also helping us perfect our pronunciation. A lot of German is based on sound, and a way to tell if your doing the crammed right is if it sounds right. But since we're not native German speakers, we can't always tell what sounds right.Which is why learning all the crammed is important. She also taught us how trennbar and nontrennbar sound different. I wish I learned this earlier! Would have helped avoid some mistakes and weird looks haha. I also have a few small updates. The first is I signed up for volunteering options.I should get the results next week when I hand it in. The second is hopefully I'll have internet next week. On Monday Zuzana is going with me to Saturn to figure out how to get a new laptop or my money back. She also doesn't believe they should have canceled the warranty without telling me why. I really am starting to hate going into Saturn. They're not very helpful people. I bought a Saturn SIM card for my phone,and no one there knew how to activate it. It's your brand, shouldn't you know that? Lastly, next Saturday ISA is taking us to Weimar for a day trip. So that should be fun. By Friday the 9th I should also have my visa information cleared up. Fingers crossed! Tschüss!

Second Semester
Hallo! Sorry for the weird format of this entry. The computer lab isn't open yet, and typing on a kindle screen is harder then it looks haha. So hopefully I'll have internet in a week or so. The second semester has started. I definitely prefer this German class to last semesters. My context courses are now History of Modern European Diplomacy and The human totalitarianism condition. Not much has happened between the two semesters. I was lucky enough to have a good view of the Silvester firework shows in Litcherfelde. I'll have to post pictures once I have access to a computer. I also traveled around Berlin a bit. The Hennigsdorf area is very cute. I also went into Zehlendorf, which has very pretty buildings. I went to a bunch of Christmas markets(That will be another entry with pictures). We`'re having some construction on 6 sbahns so the busses will be used more! It's a good thing I know my way around. I really like the apartments still. I don't know why people are complaining. The one thing I have an issue with is all the rule breaking that people are doing there. It gives Americans a bad name. I wish the hausmeister would be a but stricter. I'm also going to France in March. We're going to Strausburg and Paris. Once I have more info I'll be sure to post it. Hopefully by Thursday they'll have the lab open so I can post pictures! (And edit this entry! The formatting is killing me!) Tschüss!
