The Light at the End of the Tunnel...

Berlin, den 14. Oktober


       Good evening my fellow readers. I hope everyone had a good day just as I did. I am off from work this week so that I can attend ,,Berufsschule''. With the Management Training Program I am doing here, we have one week a month of school and that is the main component of my week right now. In this school we learn different areas in the first year: our rights as ,,Azubis'', business math, working in the kitchen (technical and classroom), service (technical and classroom), etc. Today, we focused mainly on what our rights are and what is expected from us, what our companies rights are and what we expect from them, BMI, calorie intake, and other nutritional areas. Was actually a pretty relaxed day of school. Normally class is from 8 am until 15.20 pm (that would be 3:20 for people who cannot figure that out). We got out at 14.30, so that was definitely a nice plus. In addition, the weather today was absolutely perfect! Sun was shining, was a slight breeze, wasn't too hot but also wasn't too cold. I met up with a friend today and we walked through the Tiergarten and landed at Cafe am Neuen See, this cool restaurant on a little lake nestled into the huge park. It is quite a hotspot for the locals in summer, but since it is fall there was not too many people. Was perfect to sit on a bench and just chat away over everything possible. This girl is actually pretty cool! Once the sun started to set we ended up hopping on the S bahn and going to Savignyplatz, where she led me into the bar called ,,Gainsbourg'' which was buried under the train tracks. From ambience I was totally amazed. It was a dark lit room with a red tint, and lots of french paintings, signs, and more. The drink card was incredibly complex with a huge selection which made for a difficult time choosing. Needless to say we ended up hanging out there for a bit listening to Norah Jones and just talking about random things. Was nice to get out from the everyday hustle and burrow away with a friend and ignore the realities of life. Tomorrow should also be a good day. I have a date with a special someone who I am super excited to finally get to see. Will be interesting how our night unfolds. We're gonna go see the Festival of Lights and wherever else from there. I won't be able to be out too late though because I have two exams early Wednesday morning. All in all, I cannot complain about today. Easy day at school, hung out with a cool person, made pizza with a dear friend at home, and now time to just relax and unwind. Have a good evening everyone!
