Kultur 2 - Kapitel 8

Again I find my self very split in the agreement with the Germans in the Kultur texts that we read.
Like the Germans, I completely understand the phenomenon of "Draftophobia." I love being outdoors, I love fresh air, and I love a good breeze, but never when I'm indoors. Why? I'm not really sure. But when I'm indoors, I want to be indoors, so I do not want any cold air blowing over me (especially if I'm sitting). I have also been known to be somewhat of a hypochondriac at times, so if I were familiar with common (and somewhat extreme) illnesses, I would probably come down with circulatory collapse every once and a while too.
I'm probably less inclined to be comfortable sitting naked and sweating next to coworkers, however. I also would not want to be in College for 10 years either (although, once I'm a real person, and out of college, I'm certainly planning on continuing my education with the occasional college course).

Additionally, "die Vorlesung" also seems very similar to many University courses here in the US, though, I much prefer some interaction with the professor to simply listening to a lecture. The deutsche Universitätssystem is also very similar it seems to the US; enrollment numbers here are also limited and different universities offer different majors. Unlike in the US though, I would certainly welcome government subsidized cafeterias and dorms!
