Berlin, mit hoved...

The winter break is almost over, and a new semester is about to begin. I'm quite looking forward to this semester, but not as much as the next again. Because this fall I will be studying in Germany, more exact Berlin. Just got a scholarship to Technische Universität Berlin (TUB). And yeah, they do have a pretty big humanistics department, and an institute for comparative literature, so don't worry, I'm not going to be a mechanic. Don't know what exactly I'll be studying yet, but German literature seems pretty obvious, which is apparently also located in the very picturesque main building from 1846.


The university is on Strasse des 17. Juni, which is the continuation of Unter den Linden, basically just on the west side of Tiergarten. So right now I'm busy brushing up on my German, listening to my language course in my iPod a couple of hours every day. There's also a lot of red tape left to waddle through, approvals, studyplans etc. etc. but I'll manage. I'm really looking forward to it as you can tell.
