I just found out that to take the test at the end of my course here in Germany, it is almost $500!!! I can't afford that. >_< this sucks. I just emailed the Germanics department at my university to see if it is required in order to receiver credit, and if so, if there is any way I could get a waiver...HA like that's going to happen. This seriously BLOWS.
Also, I haven't done much in berlin the last 2 weeks. I only went to one museum, which was really good though. It was the neu nationale galerie here in Berlin. Outside, they had the identical Obelisk statue as in Red Square back home, crazy! There was this great collection of art by... i think his name was yoshimi hashimoto...but i'm not sure. I have it written down somewhere. He took fantastic photographs that dealt with science, math, and perception. It was fabulous. There are still a bunch of places I want to go to in berlin, and only 3 and a half weeks left. But that's adequate time.
Okay, perhaps i will read now. I'm reading a fabulous book right now! actually....i'm reading lots of books! i'm reading "russian disco", "among other things i've taken up smoking", "the unbearable lightness of being" (again), this german book that I forgot the name of, i just liked the cover at the library, but it's sad and is about a kid whose dad has aids. I'm also reading "johnny panic and the bible of dreams" and "seymour, an introduction".
yeah, i am ADHD so can't focus on one book at a time! but i think I will finish "russian disco" first b/c its really good and about places in berlin that I go to everyday!
