Never thought people from Berlin would be this nice...

I might be having a bit too much fun with this blog thing. It's not like you actually care that I'm sitting at McDonalds right now, studying for my exam tomorrow as my train back to Heidelberg won't leave for another 1.5 hours. In case you do care (do you have nothing better to do?!) here is a picture as proof:


But back to the main topic of the blog: My time in Berlin at the Film Festival. We had our info meeting this afternoon and it was super fun. The people working for the festival full-time are real nice and they actually treat us like we are worth something and actually really seem happy to be working 'with' us. I can't wait for the actual work to begin on Thursday. 

Of course there are some rules:
#1 Do not get sick! Door handles are your natural enemy!
#2 Be nice. Always. The filmmakers paid a hefty sum of money to be here (and to get the actors here "They don't even think of flying here if the seat is anything less than First Class.")
#3 You are working & the actors/directors are working. Do not bother them als long as you are wearing your ID. As soon as you finish work, hide you ID and join the rest of the fans.
#4 DO NOT GET SICK!!! 

Perks: Watching the movies of course. We are treated the same as press and if there are some seats left (get there early!!!) you will totally have the chance to watch some pretty amazing films. 
Another perk: If you get invited to an After Party - Go! But consider your work schedule for the next day. 

I met up with the girls and the one guy on my team and I really am happy with them. We are mainly working on our own,  but sometimes our schedules overlapp, so we will see each other from time to time. 

I really am certain that I will have a great time here and Berlin is really growing on me :)
