Klassen und Andere Dingen

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, class went pretty much normal. Religion is interesting. The professor is an old pastor. Each week, I guess he just tells us to find out about a certain heretic group. We look online and find whatever is there, and in class we talk about that group. This week was the Cathars, and next time, which won't be for three weeks, is the Waldensians. Lots of fun, these heretics. German grammar is not going all that badly. It is kind of interesting. Tonight I have to find three adverbs that I don't know to bring to class tomorrow. That is not as interesting.
I have been reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo in German (Verblendung) recently: it is by no means easy. Because I don't want to spend the whole time looking up words, I sometimes go whole paragraphs without really knowing what is happening. However, since I know the story already, that is not much of a problem.

Here's the living room area. To the right is outside. To the left is the dining room area, and, closer to the camera, a door to the hallway. The fireplace is pretty much always lit since it is most of what heats that room.

It sounds like Joana is taking a shower. She does seem to do that at odd times. Once she had friends over and took a shower just after they got here.

Today after class, a few of us went to get Döner. Pretty much beloved by Germans and pretty much everyone else here, they are the same as Gyros in Greece or Schwarma in the Middle East: just the Turkish version. They are good though, hence the saying Döner macht schöner. Then we (minus Jake) went to the farmers market that happens on the Domplatz every Saturday and Wednesday.

The edge of the market. Normally there is much more going on, but today it was very rainy outside.

So now all there's left to do is finish taking notes for Paideia, write up a reading log for the same, and find three adverbs for German. Fun fun!

Bis Später,
