Later, I went to my Gymnasium (high school for college bound students), in order to get a stamp so I could buy a Monatskarte (monthly travel card) at a discounted rate. Next, I did Hausaufgaben (homework) on my Dach (roof). The view was amazing and I could see all of Hamburg. I concluded the night with a dinner of squash stuffed peppers and rice.
Today was my first day of Sprachschule (language school). Class began at 8:50, and I had to leave my house around 8:20 to get there on time. It took a little while to catch on to the format of the class but after a while I started learning new words and phrases very efficiently. After class got out at 1, I ate a Falafel-Gemuese Teller with my host dad (falafel/vegetable plate).

Today, I had my first full day of orientation activities in Washington D. C. We got to take a group picture at the Lincoln Memorial and then go to the U.S. Department of State for a presentation with an Alumni Coordinator, a German Desk Officer, and a few other people. After that, we drove to Union Square and we had our meetings with a staffer for our congress representative. My meeting went well, and afterwards, I went to lunch at the National Museum of the American Indian. Finally, we visited the German Embassy before heading to an Austrian cafe for dinner. I concluded the night by finishing my blog and thinking about the days ahead. My favorite part of the day was by far visiting the German Embassy. It was so cool to see how another country runs a foreign office, and to listen and ask questions of, one of the officers at the embassy. |
