Maybe the joke of my title would make more sense if I wasn't wanting to be grammatically correct.... but oh well....
So it coming up on the second week mark of my stay here in Berlin.
What have I been up to? Plenty.
First off, I should mention that I started a German class last Monday at Akademie für Fremdsprachen (http://www.akafremd.de/?&lang=en) and placed into the higher intermediate class. Yay me!
This past week we have been studying the Konjunktiv Zwei (Subjunctive) verb case.
The best part about taking this class is that I'm going to at least get credit for something I do this summer (unfortunately I did not complete eight weeks of my internship, so I won't be able to receive credit for German 351).
Wednesday I again went all the way to the US Consulate in order to apply for a new passport. Everything went pretty smoothly and I'll be getting my new on about a week from now.
Monday, as I said in a previous post, I stayed in and played Crazy Eights with a couple of roommates. The next night- I changed rooms, but still went out with the same people, and plus one (a Chinese guy who has been studying in France for the past year).
So Tuesday night Graham talked us all into going to some bar that his tour guide told him about.
Well... I think most of the Abenteuer was actually getting there. After passing a few "working girls" and their "managers", asking for directions a few times.... we finally got there.
Imagine a haunted house as a bar. That was about it. I kinda thought the bar itself was a little disappointing, but it was still nice to get out and do something- and talk.
Other than that, it's been life in a hostel and studying.
