Work Week

Last week was really busy. I had a paper due for a class I am taking in Auburn as well as my spoken presentation for the PPP.  

For the past month we have been working on presentations to show of our German and also teach people about interesting topics.  My group talked about the different food of each Bundesland and how regional cuisine differences it came about. Other groups talked about popular music, the local dialect, local dances, etc.

Here is one of the presentations:

 Here is the audience and our program representatives listening:

 Presentations in English don't make me too nervous because I can usually think fast enough to express and correct myself as I speak. German was a different story.  I did pretty well, but got nervous and skipped over a decent portion of what I thought I was going to say. All in all, it was good experience.

Other work:
By the fourth day of writing my paper, I got writer's block.  Computer saavy nerd that I am, I went straight to Google for help.  1st Google search: "Cliche things struggling writers can do." Perfect:

I finished my paper thanks to several lattes at the local coffee bar, intense debates with strangers, hand rolled cigarettes, yoga, and intention exercises.
