Berlin by mortiziia
|
My first month in Berlin has passed me by and I feel like if I had living here for my whole life. It costs me more and more to talk, write and think in English as the days go by, but I´ll keep on writing even though you´ll find greater mistakes in every submission. I have already chosen all my subjects:
Law Translation (Spanish-German)
Economy Translation (Spanish-German)
Economy Translation (German-Spanish)
Bilateral Interpreting
Listening and Conversation (English)
Comparative Politic Science and International Affairs
Fundamentals of Spanish Teaching
Translation for Erasmus students
I had chosen eleven modules, but it was really too much, considering I also have German for Foreigners on Thursdays for 4 hours. I quitted Russian, everybody spoke too good even though it was the beginners course, and everybody looked at me as if I were a clockwork orange.
October has been a dreadful month in regard to my economy, I hope I´ll spend much less now in November, although I´ll have to get some winter clothes and good warm boots: I have already bought a huge warm coat that I cannot yet wear, the weather´s being kind enough until present.
On Friday we had the International Welcome Party at the Humbold University: well, what can I say? The music was total crap, but I really enjoyed myself. My friend Reme has an "Erasmus Game" which she explained at the party: it consists of getting at least 400 points in the whole academic year abroad. You get 25 points everytime you kiss someone, and 50 everytime you get laid, but the same person counts only once, that is, you can go to bed with the same person as many times as you want to, but he or she will only report 75 points. Now everybody wants to take part: I think I´ll come back home at 0 points in my counter. On Saturday I laid in bed and couldn´t move at all, but a friend´s call took me back to real life, and real life here means walking around the whole day (and sometimes night), going mostly to and fro without a fixed destination. I got lost last week and found myself suddenly in Zoologischer Garten, looking stupidly at the crowds that walked up and down the Kurfürstendamm. I can already guess if I´m in the East of West part of the city by just looking at the people around.
