The start of week 8 starts tomorrow. Holy cow! I can't believe it's been 7 weeks already! This is crazy. I almost feel like a true Berliner.
This past week was pretty good. On Tuesday, a group from school went to Berlinale. We only went to look, but could buy tickets for films if we wanted. Unfortunately, there weren't any stars around when we were. I guess that isn't exactly true. The cast from one of the german films for Berlinale arrived as we were there. They were all brought to the red carpet my a BMW. The germans around me seemed to love the cast, but I had no idea who they were. I took pictures anyways. I got a tickets to a couple of films for the festival. I went to one last night with my friend Olivia.
During class, vertigo struck again. I was feeling pretty well so far throughout the day. I blew my nose and all of a sudden things started spinning. I immediately grabbed my purse to take my medicine and shut my eyes. The spinning stopped shortly after and I slouched in my chair. I rubbed my head for a good portion of class and wished I could take a nap. I'm done with my antibiotics for my sinus infection, but my ear is still plugged. Hopefully this time my ear won't remain plugged for 4 months. That was no fun and I absolutely hated getting vertigo often.
On a better note, Olivia and I saw En kongelig Affaere (A Roy Affair). It was a danish film with english subtitles. Thank goodness! The movie was a lot longer than I had expected. It lasted 2 1/2 hours total. I really enjoyed it. It was a period piece and the costuming was amazing. I loved the clothing a lot. It had comedy, love, and of course tragedy. I was completely exhausted after the film and headed home. I immediately fell asleep and that was how my day ended!
I'm currently at Starbucks, probably the ONLY place in Germany that offers free wifi, updating my blog and being a good little student. My next test is in 4 weeks, but I'm going to start preparing for it early, hoping it will help with my inability to take tests. I'm perfectly fine when it's a regular test in a class, but when it's a standardized test or something close to that, I'm horrible.
The weather has gotten warmer and the sun decides to peek out every now and then. Next weekend I'll head to Hamburg with Kelleen and Olivia to visit friends Anja and Jan have offered for us to stay at the house with them, which was great and helps us save money! My friends are helping plan what we should do, which will be fun. I can't wait to see my friends, who I haven't seen in 3 years or so! Once again, it's just crazy how time flies by so fast!
I'm going to continue sipping my chai latte and get started on homework. Tschuess!
