New semester

So it's been so long since we posted that noone's probably even looking at this site anymore, but just in case someone's there, I thought I'd post something to keep them coming...

This week's the first week back at uni for us Potsdamers, which means testing out subjects, and running into little obstacles like unannounced room changes, day changes and week changes... oh and incredibly full public transport. Luke was on a train yesterday where it took literally 10 minutes to cram everyone onto the train, and he had about 10cm space for himself... it should calm down soon, once the keen 1st years cotton on to the fact that you don't have to be at uni at 9am every day if you don't have classes.

My subjects this semester will probably be something like Chinese, Einfuehrung in die Medienkulturwissenschaft (Introduction to media/culture studies), Amoklaufende Geschichte einer Nachricht (Stories about 'running amok' in the news), Text-Bild Beziehungen (Picture-text relationships) and Cultural Broadcasting (focusing on Australian soaps broadcast in Germany... I thought I'd be well suited to that).

And the big news is that Luke and I have moved to Berlin!! To a suburb called Charlottenburg, in a really nice street with lots of eating places, turkish takeaway and 4 supermarkets within 2 min walking distance. Oh, and our apartment's lovely too. Any post would be welcome:

Danckelmannstrasse 20, 3OG rechts (QG)
14059 Berlin

Anyway, I'd better get to class... I hope everyone out there's well and not studying/working too hard... except you Simone!

  • Glad to hear from you and congrats of your new place. Looks good and your kitchen is fully equipped. Did you have time to cook often? Any favourite German food?
    Not much happen back home except the weather is rather erratic these days. It is almost end of spring but we get below temperatures and bushfires at certain places. I am still wearing my winter clothes at this time.
    Hope you are warm enough to your end. Keep well and regards to Luke.
