Education part 6

Wednesday, my favorite cause it's short. JK I actually enjoy German school overall, especially compared to Clements.


Periods 1&2 Physics: I think I've complained about the easiness of the physics class. Well, today was actually really cool because they recreated the experiment that Einstein explained and won a Nobel Prize for AKA photoelectric effect experiment. Pretty fun class period on top of a more active/fun discussion of the effects.


Period 3 Geschichte: finally got to have history with the famed Herr de Wign. The class was doing some kind of a project where they researched WWI and split into groups as the US, France, and England to discuss their own version of the treaty of Versailles. Then they compared it to the actual one, pretty interesting exercise. The student teacher (like college student) ran the class and then Herr de Wign talked to Trey and me the entire period about history and Texas (I think he was a previous GAPP sponsor). Really cool teacher and he was wearing an AC DC shirt xD.


Period 4 free: hung out with Trey at his partner, Niklas's, house. Got to see an adorable dog that loves to shed and the biggest mayonnaise squeezer ever. 


Period 5 Chem: my last period of chemistry :( I watched three other random students set up an orgo experiment but unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to run it by the time we were set up so they're running it next time when I'm not there :( Two of them were big on economics though one was like ultra capitalist and one was ultra socialist so it was funny to hear them argue about it and then they kept asking me questions about the US. Thank you Damon for making sure I knew enough to not seem like a dumbass for once in Germany :D


Period 6 Homeroom: same old, same old
