Classes

Today was the second day of classes, which went fairly well.

I've decided to drop my Gender Studies class, because I am the opposite of interested in it and simply cannot handle learning about feminism.  Don't take it personally, it's just my own opinion.  So for the sake of my mental sanity, I am switching into the unfamiliar territory of an art history course!  It's quite interesting so far (...one class in).

The final course I'm in is called the Recycled and Fragmented City, and deals with how different cities/metropolitan areas are divided along gender and class lines, and overal gentrification within cities.  It's more of a sociology course, and I'm really going to like it.  It's also great because we'll learn about these topics in regards to Berlin, Paris, and St. Petersburg, and then will be able to actually see them exemplified in the latter two cities on our field studies, and here in Berlin on our field trips.

  Other miscellaneous news to report that may or may not bore you:
Lucy will arrive in Berlin on Saturday morning, which I'm quite excited about!  We have quite a weekend planned out because there is a lot happening here in the city, so I can't wait to tell you guys about that!

Lis is finally back in Denmark, so we've started to make some travel plans to visit each other, also very exciting!

The next 7ish days are (nock on wood) going to be at least partly sunny, which is nothing short of a miracle for Berlin in late January!! I'm hoping to go up to the TV Tower and get some great arial shots of the city.

Ich fühle mich gesund, heute! Keine Kopfschmerzen. Danke, meine gesund essen!
