School in Mannheim

Sometimes I actually forget that I’m here to go to school because I’ve been having so much fun. The last two/three weeks I’ve had a weekend block seminar, 4 finals and my last class. The last weekend of November, I had a seminar that was 2 full days, Friday and Saturday from 10am-7pm. We each had to give a 45 minute presentation on our topic, so they were two pretty long days. The topics were somewhat interesting so I didn’t mind the seminar too much. I liked having the class for two entire days rather than once a week throughout the entire semester. Now I’m working on my paper which is between 15-30 pages and due in January. I also have another paper due in January for my media class which I’ve been working on. I had my last class on Tuesday and it was in German since all of the students in the class except me and a French girl are Germans. I was impressed that I was actually able to follow along with mostly the entire class and I didn’t have many problems understanding things, even though I didn’t contribute much to the discussion. I finished all of my German classes the previous week and I think that they have helped me, but I’m still planning on keeping up with studying German once I get home. The only real final that I had was for my film class. It wasn’t too difficult and I had plenty of time to study so I’m not too worried about my grade for that course.
I’ve spent all of my days in the library for the past week and it feels a bit strange to be doing so much work after I didn’t do much during the semester. I guess I’m getting ready to go back to real life now. I’m looking forward to being home for the holidays, but I have a few more things I still need to do here before I leave
