Our professor from UNL got our group tickets to one of Berlin's soccer games! It was Hertha BSC vs. Werder Bremen. My host mom had told me that I had to cheer for Hertha ever since I arrived in Berlin. They had lost every single game thus far in the season, so I wasn't too hopeful for a win today. I decided to be a rebel and cheer for Werder Bremen. While the rest of our UNL group at the game wore their blue and white Hertha scarves, I wore a green Bremen one.
The game was exciting and fun. I had told my host mom where we sat and she couldn't believe what I had told her. I repeated that we sat in the east end of the stadium and she looked at me like I was crazy! The east end is the hardcore fan section and hooligans! She said it was dangerous for us to be sitting in that section, but was glad nothing had happened. I told her our professor had actually gotten them for us and all she said was, "What?! She should have talked to me!" My hostmom thinks she should be planning our group's activities and that I'm not truly seeing Berlin properly. I've been given a "To Do" list and will be starting on that this week!
I spent a good 6 hours or so at Starbucks today doing homework and studying. It's become my hang out spot on the weekends so I'm not in the way of my host mom. It's also nice to have free wifi on my computer and phone! =)
One of the girls in our UNL group got sent back home to America. I guess UNL thought she was a liability and so she left yesterday. I didn't know until we were at the soccer game and asked where she was! I know my professor thinks me being here with my vertigo is a huge risk, but I'm glad UNL hasn't sent me home because of it!
Olivia, Kelleen, and I will be going to Munich for Easter! We get a break from school, which also happens to be the only break we get from school. I took it as my chance to travel, so we'll be going to Munich for our Easter break. The BMW museum and plant are on our list of what we'll visit, so I'm excited! Michael will be jealous!
Michael texted me earlier that Michelle, his sister, is in the hospital since her water broke! I'm excited that she'll have the baby and there will be another little niece or nephew! They decided to not find out what they're having, so it'll be a surprise! I told Michael to keep me updated, so his job is to text me updates as he gets them!
This week will be another busy one with a day trip to Rostock on Saturday with my school. It's up north by the Baltic Sea, so I'll have seen the Baltic Sea two times shortly after one another!
I'm off to write a paper about Goethe and his Sorrows of Young Werther. Yay me. Bis spaeter!
