I'm almost 1.5 weeks through my first semester here in Germany. Everything has been going well so far and I only dropped one class because I couldn't understand anything and the topic was boring. Here's a list of my current classes:
1. Banned Books in American and Germany in the 20th Century
2. Comedy on German and American Stage
3. Hörverstehen, Leseverstehen, Textproduktion
4. Postwar and Reconstruction: Germany under Allied Control
5. Listening Comprension
6. Conversation
7. Theory of Social Democracy
Don't be alarmed, because in Germany classes only meet for about 1.5 hours once a week so this is a pretty light load because I will be starting an internship with a local Social Democrat representing Dortmund in the Nordrhein-Westfalia Bundestag.
Since I'm getting back in the grove of things here in Dortmund, I've also had some more time on my hands. I'm back to reading some Harry Potter (trying #1 auf Deutsch) and watching some German movies. Tonight its student bar night at Eastend, where drinks are always 1 euro.
Great news this week: Tom and Mike have booked tickets to come see me over their Spring break! I'm sure we'll go castle hunting and see the beautiful Rheinland in southwestern Germany.
I've also updated the site and more updates are to come. Let me know if you have any ideas!
