More work work work. This week has been a busy work week since my supervisor and I are trying to plan out what I will do the last few weeks he's gone. I am going to keep working on the business plan but I have to meet with two other people in the office to try and finish my first project. I can't continue without their help but getting time tables alligned is posing as a bit of an issue. To fill time inbetween jobs Herr Leßmann keeps me busy with odds and ends activities. I had to create some spreadsheets for our storage rooms and more (of course :P) copying.
I'm really getting into the business plan. I have so many ideas I don't know where to start. Its almost hard to stay organized. The collegue, who gave me the assignment, actually grew up a little bit in Michigan and went to MSU. Sometimes we get of track talking about home but nothing to interfeer with work, besides its nice to have met someone who knows what I75 is, that Michigan State is the best school around, and has an idea of where I'm from. Makes me proud to be a Michigander :)
Thursday night Su, Tara, Bri, Ruslan and I went to the Christmas market to try some Gluhwein (warm wine). I hated the stuff!! I'm glad I tried it but I don't think I'll be diving into that aspect of the culture haha.
Friday, Hartwig and I drove into the Eifel, a sort of natural park in Germany. We went to see Vogelsang, an old Nazis camp for Nazis supporters. http://www.vogelsang-ip.de/nextshopcms/show.asp?lang=en
It was such a beautiful place. The Nazis' specifically scouted for the most scenic spot to build this huge building/camp. Once again we add to the symatic theme that Everything has a meaning and wants to express something. With this building the Nazis wanted to express their love of Germany and keeping it pure along with the strenghth of the party. The woman who led our tour was very knowledgable and gave a great speach on the place. It was soo cold to walk around. Last night was our first snow and it was still giving little showers throughout the day. We didn't walk down to the old pool and gym but seeing Nazis art all over the place it was crazy to try and put yourself in the shoes of the people who were a part of this place.
Saturday I spent some time with Fine and had her, her boyfriend and Uli (MSU Guy) over for a little get together and we went out to a dance club for some fun. It was a pretty good Saturday in Bonn. Meine Liebe Bonn :)
Tschüß!!
