Experiential Blog #1

I have many goals for this trip some of which are obvious, learning more about German history, experiencing different cultures and experiencing somewhere that is completely new to me. Some other not so obvious goals that I have for myself is to force myself out of my comfort zone. I'm someone who isn't too fond of change and new/unknown things make me anxious. The ways in which I will meet these goals is by paying attention in class and to the readings in order to gain an understanding of German history. I will also pay attention to my surroundings and the locals to see how their culture differs from our own.
