Another crazy day

For some reason (maybe because I'm the dumbest person in my class) I was really nervous about German class this morning but I should have known that everything was going to be just fine. The four hour class was long but I learned alot and followed everything. She slammed us with homework (as I expect she will almost every night) and threatened to bring back out the "piggy bank" for a fee of 1 euro anytime you speak English...sounds like I'll be keeping my mouth shut for once.

Without a break I went straight into Germans and Jews were we went on a field trip around IES. We saw a couple of synagogues, the old Jewish cemetery, and a couple of other cool memorials (like plaques in the places of destroyed buildings with the names of the people, date of birth, date of deportation, and date of death. All within a couple of blocks from school! And thats why I just can't get enough of this city. The history is EVERYWHERE!!

So, after a two hour "break" of doing homework I went to film class and finished the really confusing and kind of boring movie. Only later to find out that after being produced in the East it was vorbidden in the West. Why you might ask? Because the main character is supposed to be Hitler. And five years after he killed 6 million Jews the West decided that maybe it wasn't a good idea. They always did have their heads on straight.

After class Maria and I spent about an hour trying to figure out how to get me to the airport at 4 am and then I headed to Maxim-Gorke Theater for Maria Magdalena. The play was a mixture of old-fashion and modern which made it interesting to see. And also the fact that I already knew the plot...but thats beside the point. right?

But anyway, I'm back at the apt. packing for Munich and cleaning for McKinley! Can't wait for this weekend!!
