Thursday was our first day of German class. It's about damn time we learn some. It's rough thus far and I have to say I hate that they never made us take any classes in it before we got here. We spent the afternoon exploring one of the more exiting areas of Berlin. We went specifically to see the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, more commonly know to me as "the blue-glass church." There was plenty of good architecture and activity in the area. Check out the pictures here.
Friday was our first day of our humanities class, which is naturally called historical and cultural Berlin. We went to an exhibit called The Story of Berlin. Honestly, very cool looking museum, but way too much reading to keep my attention span. But at the end we got we got to see one of the atomic bunkers they set up during the cold war which was interesting, and kept my attention mildly focused. I have to say it was kind of creepy.
Friday night, Jill and I fought the stove situation in our apartments and made a pretty fancy dinner for ourselves and Steve and George. It worked out well.. well the second time at least. It also worked out well at about 3:00 AM when we were still hungry.Today, we went to Museum Island and went to the Alte Nationalgalerie, which is the museum of nineteeth-century painting and sculpture. Then I finally had curry-wurst. Not to shabby. You can't go to Germany and not have a wurst.
