Well have been back now for at least 2 weeks and the time has flown. It took me a good while to get back settled in though I will admit - so it has been a crazy two weeks.
University is actually beginning to become challenging because my exams are coming up. Most of them are speaking ones but still makes me pretty nervous because it means I have to speak to teachers. Also am actually trying to revise hard which is very unsual - the German speaking is getting easier. I have noticed I am using it more and more everyday even though I am still majorly speaking in English which well probably isn't very good.
It was Patrick's birthday on Friday so it meant only one thing 'Tabu2 Bar' - not exactly the most raving of places but after a few beers is ok. Met Czilla there and we had a good gab - I know Czilla though my speaking course and I think she is Hungarian(if I remember rightly). Also spoke lots to Ms Christine - AKA lady of Bernie boy, which was nice - as she can't speak English then I have to speak german which is AWESOME!
In a quest to develop further my cultural understanding of the German nation - I yesterday went to a football game. Borussia Dortmund Vs Hamburg SV - even though Hamburg is my old city I was routing for Dortmund to win. It was also an important game as I think it determines 4th place and Dortmund really want to be back in the Champions League again. The fans were very entertaining to watch and it was extremely similar to Liverpool - they sing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' before the game starts and the home stand looked amazing when everyone was jumping up and down. Also got myself a beer and a currywurst - just to be extra German. It was very good fun. Dortmund won in the end so everyone was very happy - I took a couple of videos so I will post them up on Facebook when I get the chance.
For now it's back to the revision board.
