| Little update on class: Way back in Vienna (feels like forever ago), I talked about a presentation about Otto Wagner. That was the first project for German 102. Each student in German 102 has to do one presentation and one written report. Since I did a presentation already, it was time for me to do a written report. The report has to be on a memorial. Berlin is full of memorials. Sophia and I, both in German 102, took the 200 bus and went searching for memorials. We found ourselves at the Tiergarten where we found a lot of Prussian memorials (which are unfortunately excluded from the options we could do our projects on, as the scope of these last two weeks of class are around WWII memorials). The excursion was fun nevertheless, as we quickly got lost and found ourselves in Großer Stern and then on the top of the Victory Column. These days are not always spent following concrete plans, but they seem to always be the most busy and fun. Within reason, getting lost in this city is a good thing. |  View from the top of Victory Column |
