I am now in Aachen for the start of my German summer course! I will be here for 2 months so I hope it will be a good time!
I have not started lessons yet as we will be having a placement test on Wednesday, where I will hopfully meet other students of the course. For today and yesterday, I was taken to where I will be staying. They told me I was in a special room, because I was going to be there for 2 months. I thought it would be student accommodation - it turns out I am staying in a room in a flat that a girl rented out for 2 months when she is not here, sharing with 2 Germans! I don't know if we will be close, but my room is fairly big and its nice, so I am happy.
I have been given a form that has the different trips for each weekend planned, and I have to tick whether I want to go or not (for an extra cost of course). There are 3 trips planned: to Cologne and Bonn, to Amsterdam, and to Paris. I havn't made up my mind yet if I want to do them all, but I think I will end up doing them anyway!
Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the placement test, and after a reception and lunch, there is a "Rallye" planned around Aachen. From what I can make out, it is a kind of game where we will walk around the city and look for different things, which sounds quite fun. Then classes will begin on Thursday.
Seeing as I have internet in my room, I will have enough time to update this I think!
