So I haven't posted in a pretty long time. Not since before Austria and now I got new pictures....what else...well I geuss no one except for those I talk to online and call once in a while actually know what I do everday here in Berlin. Well it has become normal now, a part of my life, it is my life.
I do I really do. I speak german not fluent yet but I'll get there and I understand all of it, or almost all of it.
So let me tell you what a normal week in Berlin is for me: Lets begin with monday, On manday I have school. Now school here is very different than in Miami. first of all I have 11 to 12 classes instead of 6 and school does not start at the same time every day. for example on monday school is at 8:00 and tuesday its at 9:55 and everyday its a different set of classes. A mess really.
Anyway monday: I wake up early eat a bowl of ceareal and go to school with Julika with the bus like everyday. Now Julika is one of my host sisters, remember that. Monday I have 8 periods including PE which is a double period. I used to just sit in class and take up space and day dream, but now I am forceing myself to do homework and participate as much as I can in class. I refuse to be useless. I come back from school around 3 something and have lunch. Normally I do homework and go jogging, but I cant jog right now because I injured my back skiing and then reinjured it again yesterday( I dont know how and it sucks).
Tuesday: this day follows same procedure except I have 4 periods and after school I have soccer practice at 6:00.
Wednsday: Is just like tuesday but instead I have 5 periods, soccer is the same.
Thursday: I go jogging, about 8 to 10 Kilometers.
When ever I want I can go to the city by bus and go to the mall I buy whatever I want, or go downtown by simply taking the subway. I am amazed by how Miami is years and years behind on public transportation. This city lives on its public transportation, wether it be the thousands of busses, the underground subway. the above ground subway, the train, or the street train.
Friday: Friday is school with 5 periods and then after I'm free to do what ever I want.
Weekends: I have friends I go out I have fun. Sometimes I meat with other exchange student other times its with the guys and girls from school. Last saturday I went to a punk show with my good Friend Bjorn. Everyone in Miami might be able to meet him because there is a good chance he'll stay at my house in Miami for 6 months as an exchange student. He's cool and his english is awsome, he lived in Chicago for 5 years. But we speak german, cause thats way cooler than english.
So yeah thats what I do, every week it's a bit differnent but thats a simple summary. I don't say everything I do mainly for one reason, I want everyone to hear it from my mouth, this expirience will give me something meaningful to say, and I'm holding a bunch of stories to my self for when I get back. Funny ones scarry ones, even sad ones. I'll leave you with pictures and more will come soon...
