Mini Update

Internet isnt working at the apartments, so Im here at the good old internet cafe, probably having my identity stolen via AIM. Long story, but I am forever wary of that YMCA guy. Luckily he is not here.

Anyway, so my time in Berlin is surprisingly winding down. This past month has flown by, and now Im down to less than 2 weeks in Europe. To be honest, Im more than ready to go home. Im just very tired. Like, not sleepy tired, but knackered. I took my 14th flight in 4 months the other day. Yes, for real, 14th. I love going to all these places, but the constant go go go has really started to get to me. And I guess the fact that its summer, but Im still spending my days sitting in classrooms and doing homework. I like both my classes and I like what Im learning, but summer school is not for me. 2 semesters in a year is plenty.

But despite this, Im still doing a lot. As you can see from the pics I posted, before break, I went to the Germany football game. Euro 2008 is in full force here, and its a lot of fun. Living in the Turkish neighbourhood, you get to hear that excitement and hear the fireworks go off whenever they win, and then being in Deutschland, you get to experience the same thing whenever Germany wins. If Germany beats Portugal this week, which isnt likely, but if they do, then Turkey and Germany will play each other. Craziness will inevitably ensue.

We ended up having a Monday off due to some weird scheduling problems, so we decided, as you can also see from the pics to go t Wannsee. It was super nice and a lot of fun, minus the sun burn. Which was stupid, but it didnt feel that hot at all, and I was like, pshhh, Northern Europe, whatevs. That whole aspect was kind of a mess. Oh well. I do look nice and bronzed now, though. Woot. It was really pretty, and nice swimming in something not wildly salty.

In other news, this keyboard is really hard to type on. Not only because some of the keys are in different places (notice I didnt say wrong, I said different... so enlightened), but because its really stiff and actually legit is tiring my fingers. So I will write more when internet at meine Wohnung arbeitet. When the internet works at home.

Tschuß for now,
Kate
