It's the last week of classes. I'm wearing shorts and chacos all week...until it gets cold again, that is. The weather is so bipolar that I despair of ever cancelling our gas service. (We only have gas for the heater.) The next two weeks do not sound fun, but I know I can do it! And I have both New York and Germany to look forward to. Whenever I feel like school is getting too tough, I remind myself that I don't have to be here, and I could always just drop out and try to get a job based on my high school education. That sounds much worse, and I don't want to pass up the amazing opportunities that I have been given.
Have you heard about why this U-Bahn stop is called Muenchner Freiheit? It's after a group that opposed the Nazis towards the end of the war with mixed results. It's quite interesting: story here. (Again, it's in German. But you can always try using google translate for a vague idea of what it says.) I just think it's interesting because Muenchner Freiheit is the coolest U-Bahn station in Munich. There are cool lights and (as you can see from the picture) mirrors everywhere. It is less creepy that other stations, and it's near a pretty cool area of town.
