okay it’s been two weeks since the last time i wrote lol i need to update this more often, gonna try every other night
okay so last time i wrote i hadn’t been to brussels or copenhagen yet! so yeah the first international trip i did was to belgium, with amelia and chandler for just two days. that was an adventure, we had a flight at 11 and we almost missed it because we were running around berlin trying to get our tickets printed because we didn’t realize until friday night that we had to print them. we finally got them printed and got to schonenfeld and ran thru the airport to our gate it was v embarassing, but we made it! the weekend was cool, brussels is so beautiful! we went to the grand place and the atonium mainly. but yeah it was perfect for the amount of time we were there.
the main things i remember from the week between the weekend trips was stammtisch and the field trips! stammtisch has been a cool thing to look foward to on thursday nights. that week we went to a craft brew bar. i had three ipas and got pretty drunk hahah. towards the end of the night we had so many cups on our table we decided to stack them to give us more room, which turned out to be a bad idea. grant accidentally kneed the table and all the glasses fell!! it was such a loud crash haha. we dipped pretty soon after that. on friday i went to the foreign ministry office for dirk’s class to talk to a previous german ambassador to the US. the entire time we just talked about trump and his views and such, it was really cool to hear the point of view of a well informed and educated diplomat. after i had a little break so i did some hw, then i headed to the chancellor’s office for a guided tour! that was pretty cool, but not as exciting as i thought it would be haha.
the next weekend we went to copenhagen. it was sooooo expensive!!! also the different currency made it more confusing. but it was cool! i wish the weather was better but can’t control that! the hostel we stayed in was pretty cool. some places we went to was Christiana, which is like a free town/commune and it was sick. then we went to the Nyhavn, the pretty canal with the colorful houses. after we went to paper island, its like a huge warehouse with a bunch of food stalls. the food was greattttt. then we went back to the hostel and took a nap, then went out to dinner. we found this yummy sandwich shop that wasn’t too expensive so we just ate there. after we went to taphouse, kiel and stephen’s recommendation. it was chill! we just hung out and drank beers and talked about random stuff. ended up going back to the hostel at like 2am lol. the next day we waited like an hour and half for brunch but it ended up being sooooo worth it haha then we went to the palace, then back to paper island for lunch before our flight. the flight was at 10pm so we just killed time at the airport. the copenhagen airport is so nice!! but traveling is so tiring haha
well this week went by really fast... nothing too exciting so far, just school work and stuff. this weekend will be frankfurt!! that will be fun hehe

WOOOOO OKAY SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON
hmmm okay first week of classes went okay, ended up dropping sociology and switching to dirk’s history/politics class. i don’t think we did anything interesting last week.... but on thursday i did laundry with grant then went home and ate dinner then we pregamed in the apts to go out. somehow got a lot more drunk than anticipated by freaking david’s insanely unachoholic tasting drinks!!! i have no idea what he put in them but somehow they did not taste like alcohol at all lol. so we finally went out at like midnight to this club chalet. i had to direct because everyone else was more drunk lmao. grant got off two stations on the way bc he didnt feel well lol. well we got to the club and it was 10 euros to get in!!!!! but we just paid it since it was a huge trek to get there. the u bahn stopped running so we had to take a bus then walk hella far -_- anyways ya we checked our coats, and in the line this guy hears us speaking english and asks where we’re from and i say california and he says no where are you frommm and i said well my moms from korea and i got hella sassy lmao. anyways we went into the club and it was so sick!!!!! like from what i remember it was like kinda a wooden looking house with a bunch of rooms with chairs then a main dance floor. the music was straight trance and i literally felt like i was in a trance lol but it was sick! cool vibes and everyone was having fun. we ended up taking a taxi back at like 3.
the next morning i woke up SO HUNGOVER. like it was terrible, esp bc they were doing construction and it woke me up -_- went and got brunch with grant and amelia at alberts, it was good to get a nice burger ahaha. afterwards i backed to head to dresden! i put all my shit in my longchamp since i didnt have a backpack lolol. anyways we took the bus to dresden, then took a taxi to our air bnb! it was a sick apartment. we went out to eat at this italian place (was meh) then just went back to the apartments and hung out. the next day we toured around the beautiful city! took a bunch of awesome pics, ate brotwurst, drank lots of gluwein, stared at this cute little boy with his family! hahah yeah it was a good day. then we headed back to our apartment to hang out before we went out to dinner and to the clubs. we got dinner at this burger place, got an IPA! after we found this sick jazz bar that we stayed at for a few hours. was a solid beer drunk which was really fun hehe. the guys wanted to leave so they left while the girls stayed (the bass player was really hot lol). we met them a bit later at another bar, but then left to find another club. stumbled upon this porn club!!! lol it was crazy seeing pics of straight up porn on the walls lol but it was fine we were dancing and having fun bc the DJ was playing a good mix of music with American pop so it was nice to recognize some songs lol. we were having a good time but the guys were being such party poopers and wanted to leave -_- so we left and walked back to our apt, stopped by burger king lol. after me jessy and zach smoked a splif and just hung out. it’s hilarious bc all the girls have been obviously more annoyed of zach haha. anyways jessy and i then went to bed after eating hella pringles LOL. woke up the next morning, had to get ready really fast. we went and got brunch, it was pretty good! shared this two person meal thing with amelia. after we wanted to check out these little shops amelia had read about but it was sunday so they were all closed :( we saw some cool murals though and took pics. after we decided to just head to the part of town we were at before since it was more touristy and just hang out over there. some of the group had reading they had to do for class so we just hung out at starbucks most of the day. amelia jessy and i explored a bit but not much lol. then we headed to the bus station, but before we got food at this chinese restaurant. that was hilarious, they first gave us menus entirely in chinese and we had to ask them for german menus lol. anyways, we ate, then waited for our bus, then got on the bus to head back to berlin!
next day was monday. had german class in the morning, then after class me jessy and amelia went to kaufland (its a mini costco) and it was AMAZINGGGG. after shopping at shitty rewe for two weeks it was so nice to got to a proper and better stocked grocery store hehe. plus the groceries were soooo cheap!!1 spent like 20 euros on stuff that wouldve been like $50 in the states. after we just headed back to the apartments. i cooked lunch, then got ready to head to berlinale (berlin international film festival) for my cinema class. got to potsdamer platz, then found the group. went to the japanese film, then went to alexander platz and watched the american film. they were both very interesting lol. after i just came home and cooked some food then went to bed!
today is tuesday, valentines day! we had an excursion this morning with my german class. we met at the zoo stop at bus 100. we took the bus through the middle of the city and saw a bunch of historical sights along the way. we got off by the reichstag then walked to brandenburg gate. we took a pic there, then hung out in the starbucks as our prof grabbed another student running late. after we walked to the foreign office to see this refugee exhibit they had. that was a really really cool thing to see pictures and read about. after we had to talk to a stranger in the building and practice our german lol it was really awkward. then we left and walked to this neighborhood that was known to be a really fashion forward place and had a lot of Jewish people living there. there was a ubahn station where on the steps it had the names and addresses of all the jews who had been taken and put onto the trains and sent away... it was really powerful and interesting to see them commemorated like that. after we just parted ways. i went to go buy a backpack (i finally did! and im stupid and got the exact same color as my backpacking backpack lmao) then i just came home, and started my readings!
okay that’s all for today :)
