I can't believe it's already February 8th! Man, time is just flying by here. We all feel like we're in high school again with our schedule and such. I'm not loving it, but it makes time go by faster at least!
My new class started last week! It's more challenging, but not too bad. I found out that if I were to pass the highest class, which is called C2, I would be a certified translator. Unfortunately, I won't be here long enough to get through the course. I'll get through about 4 weeks of C1.
Last night, a few of us went to see a Russian opera. It was very... different. It was all in Russian with German subtitles. They call them "Übertitel" because they are shown above the stage. I understood almost everything. It was very abstract and strange. Oh, it was also really long.
Today as a class from our UNL group, we went to see the Berliner Dom (Berlin Dome). It's absolutely incredible!! The church is beautiful and huge! We had a personal tour led by one of the members of the church that does the tours for fun. His name was Andre. He was really nice, funny, and made sure we were understanding as he spoke since the tour was entirely auf Deutsch! I took a few pictures while we were there, but will mostly be stealing the ones that Kelleen took.
Berlinale starts tomorrow!! That's the Berlin Film Festival. I'm pumped! A bunch of celebrities are in town. I'm going to try and see a couple films at least. Some things were being set up today around the city for the film festival. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see just how the city looks! I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures of it all!
