Bergfest

Today is Wednesday, but it is also Bergfest. Bergfest basically means the peak of something. Berg comes from the German word `Berg´meaning `the top of a mountain´, kind of like a climax and fest which probably means "festival". We are at the middle of our three week course and I am kind of excited. I have a lot more work that I will have to do. I have to work on my project that is due next week, which I will have fun doing. Then we still are going to go to Dresdenm. So we have a lot of stuff that we are going to do, but are now down to a week and a half until Abschluss, graduation. I am excited though. We have done well so far and I think that we can still only get better. I think I have a far distance to understand more but I think that I am doing well at this point and I am satisfied up to this point. I think as far as feelings are, mine are pretty much the same as everybody else. I am tired and ready to get back home. I haven´t noticed every emotion around except for the people in the U.C. group. I have noticed or heard from other people in the group that the a quite a few of the Russians drink quite a bit which is not really a surprise.
