It's been so long!!! Sorry! I forget what the last day that I posted was so I'll just recount the weekend and this week. Friday I had class, of course, and then Sergio and I just kind of waited around the house until everyone decided what they were doing. Was supposed to meet a few friends to go to a cocktail bar in Charlottenburg, but ended up following the wrong people to potsdamer platz. Then we tried to find a club called the Matrix, but Sergio and I were tired so went back and found out that there's no bus that goes by our house so we had to walk from the u-bahn station at 2 in the morning.
Saturday Emilia, Morton, John, and Morton's Norwegian friend, Monika ate brunch at the literature cafe which is apparently the best in Berlin according to John's Top 10 travel guide, and of course, it is the final word on the matter. Afterward we visited the tiergarten and got lost for the remainder of the day. Met another of Morton's friends, Lars (who is a native Berliner) and Lars' French girlfriend whose entirely French sounding name I never did catch. We all got lost trying to find the best sushi place in the area and then ended up at a very, VERY cheap one. The Emilia and I went home, and didn't miss the bus lol.
Sunday morning Antonella, Holly, Emilia, and I went to a giant market, and then went to the Reischtag with a school program which was fantastic. It's a very beautiful building and so is the view of the city from its roof. And also, the speaker was incredibly funny.
On Monday, Emilia and I went shopping after school and yesterday we went with Morton to a comic book store.
Today my class had a field trip to two art museums. We went to an exhibit called Olafur Eliason in the first and it was amazing. It was just a series of rooms full of strange things to look at. One was colored silhouttes of the people walking through it and one room just had a hose hanging from the ceiling and spraying but the room had a strobe light. My favorite was a room full of smoke with different colored lighting. Couldn't focus on a thing. First everythings totally blue and then it ends up being red. Made me wonder what kind of influence the creators had...
The second museum was full of classic paintings and we each had to give a short presentation on one that we enjoyed. There were so many to choose from, and my classmates picked some very beautiful ones.
Beyond that there's not much to share. Just got back to the house from our excursion today and I'm exhausted so I may nap and then finish my homework. I'm still not used to all the walking and the sandals I bought were too small so my feet are covered in blisters. Thank god Lolina traded me shoes for a bit or I may have to just cut them off when I got home...
