School is back in session! I'm in a marvolous prep class for this trip, every tuesday at 8:00 am. We've been looking at the differences between American and German culture. While we're in Schorndorf we'll be keeping logs of what my proffesor calls 'cultural rich points', times when communication breaks down and there are missunderstandings with our host families. Today my homework assignment is a worksheet on differentiating Stereotypes and Generalizations.
The trip is getting steadily closer and closer, and my little donations thermometer is about to be compleately revamped, 'cause I've lost the link to my original one. I also have a better gestimate of how much this trip will cost. So if it doesn't seem to match up, that's why. I am so excited about this trip. I leave for Schorndorf early January, and I'll be home again in May.
Now I've got to get to my homework, so I'll change that meter and then update again soon (hopefully)
