Germany, days 12-14: Before the Berlin Trip

The research for the project went well, but we didn't spend too much time on it, in favor of other homework and not exceeding the time we would have had in class each day. The presentation went pretty well, but we had glossed over a few facts that the professor asked us about, which resulted in a bit of struggling, but it worked out, and I think some of my classmates liked having a chance to nap.

I have discovered that, in the Uni cafeteria, there is a premium on the word "Vegatarisch" (vegetarian). As such, the vegetarian dish costs E-3.10, while the main dishes from the sometimes-vegetarian general food lines tend to cost E-1.00. Also the vegetarian wraps are E-2.00, which is again more expensive than the general plate. To better ensure that I am getting enough protein, I tend to get milk, which runs 0.55 for a 300mL and 0.75 for a 400mL. Compare this to a grocery price of 1.09 for a 1L carton. (Also, both are "Bio" milk, which is apparently the German term for "organic".)

I had a laundry crunch before packing for Berlin, which kept me up very late doing the wash. After leaving the clothes out overnight to dry, they remained a bit damp, so I put them through the drier. This, ironically, seemed to have made them more wet than they were before.
