Today we ventured to a lake "nearby" the apartments, which we chose without realizing that the buses weren't running today. We took the U-Bahn and walked about a mile to a forested lake, which cost 3 Euro to enter and was packed full of German people. They had little food stands, where I had my first currywurst und pommes--which was too coated in ketchup to be good. The fries were like thick potato chips, an unexpected and happy surprise.
We took a dip in the lake, but since I can barely swim and couldn't see the bottom of the lake, I stayed close to shore. It was very cold, so we had to doggy-paddle to stay warm. The fresh water felt totally different than the ocean, and I didn't feel as gross afterwards. We stayed for a few hours, laying in the sand and people-watching.
Too Sleepy To Care
Leaving later than we had intended, we walked in the heat to catch the train back to the apartments in time for a "reception" FU-BEST was putting on. I had post-beach sleepiness, and was not interested in moving quickly through public transportation. We ended up there 20 minutes late, but it didn't matter because they hadn't begun. Cheers to FU-BEST never being prepared! They had a snack buffet, and drinks that cost money, so we left early. Overall, it was a nice beach day (and free dinner!)
Author's Note: I now have 71 bedbug bites, so forgive my passive-aggressive attitude towards FU-BEST. The exterminator is coming tomorrow after 3 nights of nothing.

But who’s counting...?
