I saw the sun in Hamburg today! You desert dwellers may think that's nothing to write home about, but here I am ... writing home about it. After a typical day at work proofreading German/English/C++, I rode the train to Hamburg and bought a bow tie that I can tie myself. It was a bit on the pricey side, but I'll probably only buy one in my life. While I was shopping downtown I saw that they're starting to set up the Weihnachtsmarkt, or Christmas market. This is about 10 meters tall:
I'm sooooo excited for the Christmas markets. After I was done with my riotous living I went to my home away from home, the Hamburg library. I made sure the moon was in the picture:
Here I did the final proofread of my paper, which actually took a few hours. That's much longer than I thought it would take. I've spent a long time on the paper, so I feel like a great burden was lifted off my shoulders when I turned it in. I finished just in time to run upstairs to the Goethe Institut for my class. We did some sample test exercises, learned about clubs, and practiced formal speaking. I learned that the abbreviation e.V., which I've seen many times, is short for eingetragener Verein, a club for which you must register.
Congrats on finishing the paper!
