Day 7

It doesnt feel like I have been gone for an entire week! But I have done a lot of things! Yesterday was not very exciting. We had class in the morning for 4 hours, then we ate at the dining hall, then we went to a history museum with our professor, Herr Duerr. After the museum we were all very tired, but we had to do our homework and then we went out for dinner. I went to bed before midnight.

Today has been a little more exciting. We had class in the morning, but then we went by ourselves to a packaging museum. The man who owns the museum was very nice and funny, but we could hardly understand any of what he said because he spoke way too fast. I want to go back to the museum before I leave and see if I can understand more of what he said. The things in the museum were really interesting to me, because it showed a lot of german culture and advertising over time. I took a few pictures of the things I liked the most or found the most interesting.

After the museum we had lunch in a different dining hall and it was not as good as the one we usually go to. It didnt have as much self service, but they gave us a beer to try for free, because it is a new type. Something with cactus, I thought it tasted really good, but most people didnt like it because it was sweet.

The last person in the program came today. Her name is Meghan and she was planning orientation, so she had to stay in the states longer. She lives near me, so I took her to our apartment complex on the bus and then came back to meet Margaux so we can go shopping for our field trip this weekend. It was the first time I used the bus by myself. It was pretty easy, and I am finally getting comfortable here. We have to buy snacks for the train and a lunch. I also want to buy an umbrella and a tote bag. Im not sure I will be able to fit everything in my backpack, uh oh. I will let you know. We are leaving very early tomorrow morning, 7:30, so we dont have class but we still have to be awake and get to the train station. We are coming back late Saturday night.
