I have been ill quite a alot this month which is annoying as it means I have missed out on some of Deutsch Kurs! this happened again today. I made a trip to my doctor and got anti-biotics. I hope I havent missed too much!

It looks like we are going to have a week of rain this week. It seems to have been non-stop today! My dog Lucas hates the rain, even though he has a special water-proof jacket to wear when its raining. But its certainly not as much fun walking a dog when its raining!

Something that has been hard about doing an intensive course is balancing it with other areas of your life. If you are coming to Berlin with the specific purpose of going to school, then you can devote the bulk of your time to that and still of course have free time to do what ever else you want. But if, like me, you live here and also have work committments and want time to see your friends, then things can get pretty busy! But, like someone told me, in Berlin everyone is busy! Its part of the city.

This is the last week of my course. So far I have taken courses 1B, 2A and now 2B with Deutsch Akademie. I plan to also take M1, but I’m going to wait until after Christmas as I want a break! I find it also helps to have a breather in between courses, especially when it is quite intensive.

Here is a picture of Lucas who certainly didnt want to get up on this cold and rainy day!
