September 10
I got half of my homework done at breakfast today and rushed through the rest of it during the first part of class. Tom met up with us on our break and gave us some more money. He gave us 90 Euros for meals and housing on one weekend of our free travel. I was running low and I didn't want to go to the bank, so that worked out well. He told us to check out the art museum in town and that it was really interesting.
During the second half of our class the teacher took us on a field trip... to the art museum that Tom was talking about. There was an exhibit there by David Hockney who does paintings with many canvases put together. The exhibit was all trees, and he did some 4 season paintings of the same trees. There were only 30 or so paintings but they were really big, one of the biggest ones was about 25 feet across and 20 feet high. We were supposed to split up into groups and describe a painting in German. I wound up in a group with Angela from Spain and Hisham from Tripoli, Libya. Once we had done that we had to read the description to the whole class when they came and looked at our painting. The field trip was a lot more fun than sitting in class all day and I wish we would do some more things like that.
Since it's Thursday, we went to the supermarket because they have really good pizza but only on Thursdays. I think they use only Parmesan cheese on the pizza, so it tastes different but really good.
After the hike back up the hill to our little apartments I was tired so I read for a little bit and took a nap. After my nap I got caught up on some homework and blogging.
