Berlin, first blog from David Gregg

Hello all. My name is David Gregg. I've just been given approval to start adding my stories here to the WMU blogging station. All I've really been given is the name and password to this site, so I thought I'd just give it a try!
I've been studying here in Berlin since September first at "Free University." I've been here for quite a while, and have already written a great deal about what I've done since I got here. I think I'd like to add a lot of my previous updates to this blog as well, since they're full of lots of interesting details. I tend to have a very expressive and impulsive writing style, but I'll try to keep my reports as objective as possible!
So, I'm back in Berlin after a crazy month of December. I've never done so much traveling in my whole life than I did then, and little of it was actually in Germany. That's the thing about studying in Germany. It's a great Country to be in because it's a cultural hub, and a very central location. You can get pretty much anywhere else in Europe with relative ease.
Classes are starting up again, and man is it getting cold outside! The one nice thing though is that there's snow on the ground now. It feels just as cold as it did in December, but with the snow, everything looks much brighter in the day time, because snow refracts much more sunlight than mud... too bad the trains are running as slow as snails now though... sigh... Das ist Deutschland. Anyway, I'll snap a few recent photos on here, and give a bit more introductory. Yeah, I write a lot, so I feel bad for the editors out there! lol.



This is a picture of me standing on top of a church in Dresden. Dresden is a beautiful city one hour South of Berlin. My friend Sonja showed my fiancé and me around while we were there.

Freie University is located in Stieglitz city region of Berlin, which was occupied by the United States from the end of World War 2 up until 1989. The University essentially built by America. It's a nice school with a whole ton of courses to offer. Sadly, I have no pictures of the main building, which I think I'll go do some time in the near future. I feel like I have a lot of introductory details to get out before I can even start posting old updates of when I first got here. I'll do that soon. I'm pretty tired right now though after a very busy day of class, so I'll just call it a night for now. Thanks for tuning in though, and best wishes to all those out there reading,
Dave
