Tagesschau

Fun fact: The Germans are so efficient that one of their most prominent news programs is only fifteen minutes long. That includes world news, sports, and weather. Classic German.

Everyone here is following the revolution in Egypt very closely and I was surprised to learn that many Germans are worried about the aftermath of the events in Tunisia and Egypt sparking other countries into violence. I had never considered the fact of how close Germany is to these countries.
And although the news is a little intense, I enjoy not having to bear through news reports warning of the next food that will make you gain weight or which celebrity is in rehab this week. Have no fear United States, however, you were not forgotten. The snow storm sweeping the nation is number three on the list of discussion. To everyone in Michigan: Best of luck! Just be happy you're not in Australia. (Just think, in two years, when this blog is ancient history, this might be in a textbook.)

You could probably sum up all the news in my life in fifteen minutes right now too. I was lucky to have a mid-week visit from Niklas, but unfortunately that did not stop school or homework. However, it is awesome to have an on-site translator because it makes watching movies much easier. Speaking of which, I highly recommend The Man from Earth. Great movie and even better, I understood it in German.

I suppose I will write more when something happens, but like I mentioned before...pretty slow over here.
Bis bald.
