Firstly, I had a presentation about the Berlin Blockade and Airlift, and I spent a good week preparing for that. It turned out well, though. The teacher really seemed to like it, anyway.
The next week, I got lazy.
The week after that, I got sick with a cold. Damn the rainy, cold German springs! And later that week, I had yet another presentation. This one didn't go as well, because it was a big, information-filled topic--the foreign policy, economic policies, and building up of the army in the Nazi era. We wound up speaking for almost an hour in a presentation that was only supposed to last 20 minutes. And no one seemed quite as enthusiastic as in the first presentation we did. But with that done, I was much happier.
The week after that, I got lazy again...
Which brings us to the present day. So, I think some updates are in order.
A few weeks ago, I returned to Marburg. This time, no pseudo-police tried to get our IDs. And I got to see a lot more of the town, since it was day. I also took another day-trip on another weekend. We went to Cologne, or as it's known in German, "Köln." The trip to Cologne was highlighted by a trip to the big, beautiful, old cathedral and, of course, the chocolate museum, where you can get free chocolate samples--any kid's dream.
Marburg, Frankfurt and Giessen ain't got nothin on Cologne and its chocolate museum.
And the Cologne Cathedral ain't bad either.
