The last couple of days have been wonderfully simple. Tuesday I went to another long day of German class and then met up with Perry, Kalen, and a couple others at the Turkische Markt by me house. I tried to bargain with some of the vendors but to no avail and resigned to purchase dried banana chips and Studenten Futtern instead. [Side note: Studenten Futtern translates to Student Feed, as in something you would put in a trough for animals.] Anyways, we headed back to IES for a housing orientation where we discussed nudity, showering habits, and reasons why we should never open the door for people who claim to be mechanics/plumbers/electricians. I went back to the apartment for a relaxed evening of talking on Skype which led to McKinley and I booking our flight back to Berlin from Oktoberfest!! I also worked on my presentation on the NeptunBrunnen (Poisedon´s Fountain) which was harder than expected. I mean seriously, 10 minutes on a fountain...
This morning I actually gave my presentation on the NeptunBrunnen which went really well (minus the part where one of my group members didn´t show up to do her part of the presentation on the Rathaus because she was out until well past 3am on a pub crawl...). I´m at the IES center right now but when I get home I´ll put up some of my pictures of the fountain so you can get the full experience. I´m off to another info session about cross-cultural integration which should be interesting and then probably off to right the short essay I have due on Friday. Tschüs!
