My practicum is still going well! I'm getting to know the kids really well, and for the most part, they're very sweet! School is getting really busy, and I have three papers due this week...which is kind of a lot in my humble opinion!
My week was pretty uneventful... Last Sunday (the 20th), Tyler and I went and saw part of the "Berlin Festival of Lights", which was pretty cool! I took a few pictures, but they didn't really turn out too well. We walked from Brandenburger Tor all the way past Alexander Platz, which is a pretty long walk! Basically the Festival of Lights is sort of like an art installation, but instead of actual art, it's done using projections, mostly on famous buildings/things, like the Brandenburger Tor or the Berliner Dom.
It was pretty cool, and I'm glad we went and saw it!
The school week was pretty uneventful, besides going to two plays; one on Monday and one on Tuesday. In those two days, I'm pretty sure I spent more time in the theater than I spent sleeping! Both plays were almost 4 hours long each...so it was a long two days! The first one we saw was "Glaube, Liebe Hoffnung" which I actually enjoyed! The one on Tuesday was "The Three-penny Opera", which I did not enjoy at all. It's by Bertolt Brecht...and I don't know much about Brecht, but he seems like one weird man.
Anyways, on Saturday (the 26th) Tyler and I decided to go to Potsdam to see the fall colors and such! Plus Tyler hasn't been to Potsdam before, so we thought it would be a nice little day trip. We walked around the Sanssouci Park for a while and took some pictures! It was a nice day and we had really good weather!

It was a really good day! Well, I'd better be off to write my papers! I promise I'll try to update more regularly!
