I'm so happy that I finally started class today! It feels so good to be back in school again...I haven't been in classe since May and the lack of learning was diminishing the capacity of my brain. Today I had the Quasselkurs, which is like and advanced grammar and conversation course. We learned A LOT of slang German which is soooo very practical here because, as non-native speakers, we speak very rigidly and we sound like robots and there is a lot of slang German in Harry Potter...you know, when Hagrid has dialog lol...so it became very useful the second I walked out of class. After that, I had Spiegelschrift, which is a creative writing class and we already have 2 essays due for next week and, like a nerd, I have already written them. I love school! The only downside to these classes is that I'm in the same classroom, with the same professor, and with nearly the same people for 3 hours straight. Which really isn't so bad because I only have it once a week. The German system is really different, classes are nearly always once a week for 2 hours, there are no electives; students only take classes for there course of study (which is why I have no room to take random classes that I don't absolutely know will count at ECU; which sucks because I would LOVE to take just any classes I want) and there is no homework.
I know my blogs are getting a little boring, but there's not a whole lot going on right now. They shall get more interesting soon because Christimas is coming and all the Weihnachten fests will be in full swing!
