School Schedule in Berlin and thoughts on the school!

Monday

8:00-9:40 English Professional course (my favorite class out of all my classes)

9:55-10:40 Biology (sitting and thinking class/waste of time. I don’t understand ANYTHING!)

10:55-11:35 Chemistry (fill of worksheets from copy other people/ daydream when teacher is talking…I don’t understand this class either :/ )

11:45-12:30 Deutsch (sitting with my translator and writing the neglish word above every german word I don’t understand.)

Tuesday

8:00-9:40 Geography Professional Course (the class I understand the most besides English)

9:55-11:35 Geography normal class (I understand this class too! J )

11:45-13:35 Math (I got my first 1 in this class other than in English! The 11^th grade here is doing algebra 1 and 2 things, so basically what I had last year J )

Wednesday

8:00-9:40 art (I love this class! I don’t understand the theory behind what we are drawing, but it is still fun to learn how to draw new things. I’ve learned that when I take my time, I can actually draw some pretty cool things. J )

9:55-10:40 Physic (the class that I only understand the math stuff, but nothing more because the teacher sits in front of the class the whole time trying to get us to tell her why everything is the way it is. To make her a better teacher she needs to teach us first why things are and then the next class ask us why..duh!)

10:55-11:35 English normal class (I think this teacher is scared of me or something. She never grades my stuff, and when she grades everyone else’s then everyone asked me if her corrections are really right, and sometimes they aren’t always. She speaks Germish; English with German word order.)

11:45-12:30 Geography normal class

12:50-13:35 Biology

Thursday

8:55-9:40 Math

9:55-11:35 English normal class

11:45-12:30 Chemistry

I find school in Berlin a lot easier than in Thüringen. I have fewer classes, so I get out of school earlier. What the students are learning now I can usually understand a little bit. It’s not as advanced as in Thüringen. I do really love the school better though in Berlin. The teachers are a lot nicer. The only big downfall of the school is the bathroom. The bathrooms are really gross, and I only use them when I really have too. There is graffiti all over the place, the stalls are not even big enough for a person and their school bag to fit in, and the toilets are just circles above a pipe. So over all they are very gross. Other than the bathrooms the school is very nice. Defiantly different than what I was used too, but it doesn’t bother me. I like the differences. It is completely different from what I’m used too!
