Boring typical class update first- I love all my classes and teachers! My Theatre class is small and it's the same teacher as the month long intro Theatre class I took and we've been doing lots of observing and exercises to describe what we see. It's such a different forum to practice speaking German, I really enjoy it. We're of course going to as many theatre performances as possible, including a festival in Brussels this May! I'm also taking Deutsche Medien, where we read newspapers and listen to local radio and watch movies. Awesome. Lastly is my Intensive Course which is so far so good. We have many small exams instead of one final exam, which is great in the long run but bad in that I should probably be studying right now.
Yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, so I went to Kinopolis with some friends to watch the remastered version of the movie in 3D. I won't even lie, I cried. Solid movie, I'm glad I went :] Saturday was awesome too- I went to a double header Bonn Capitals vs. Hamburg Stealers baseball game at the Rheinaue Park. It was a gorgeous day for a baseball game! We won both games, 10-3 and 13-2 wooo! I bought a cap. Baseball's obviously nowhere near as big here as in America, but I'm going to try to go to every single home game from now on! That night, I went to a club in Cologne with four awesome Germans and had an awesome if very late night. One of the dance floors played great music like Jailhouse Rock and Great Balls of Fire, stuff like that! It was a hoot.
Since it was his Spring Break last week, my brother Sam and my grandpa visited me from Sunday to Friday <3 We climbed to the top of the Köln Cathedral, went to the Chocolate, Mustard, König, and Ludwig Modern Art Museums, had some typical German food, and I took Sam karaoke-ing for the first time :D This weekend I'm heading to the Netherlands for a long weekend (no class on Mondays rocks) with an awesome group of people so I'm extremely excited. I want to hit up the Van Gogh museum, cry at Anne Franks house, buy tulips, and take a canal boat trip. Much fun.
