S-Bahn Ring

I spent a few hours today riding around the S-Bahn ring through the city. That was relaxing, although not very picturesque. There’s a lot of graffiti in this city. Some of it actually looks really cool, more like art than graffiti, but still – there’s a lot of it.

This morning we spent a long time on German grammar. Our teacher is determined to get us to understand this one part of the grammar that is very confusing and doesn’t exist in English, and I’m having a hard time with it. I think it has to do with whether the verb requires a direct object, in which case you have to change the article. So really, I think I understand it, I just highly doubt I’m going to remember it when I actually try to speak.

Tomorrow I’ve signed up to go to the Holocaust Museum, and I’m hoping the weather forecast is right in saying it should be sunny. I don’t mind the rain, but somehow the idea of going to an open-air museum about the Holocaust seems more appealing in the sun. Or less creepy. Although maybe gloomy weather would sort of add to the effect…

I’ll bring my umbrella.

I also signed up and paid for the boat trip on Thursday, and I’m looking forward to that. I’ll take lots of pictures, like always.

I haven’t decided what I’m going to do after dark tonight. I’m debating going up the TV tower in Alexanderplatz, or just heading out to a coffee shop with a book or notebook and hanging out for a while. Maybe I’ll bring a book or notebook to Alexanderplatz with me and I can go to a coffee shop afterward.

I think that sounds like a plan. But first, to go see what we had for dinner tonight.
