Even though it only looks like 12 hours, its actually 21 if you count time difference...
I don't know if I should be happy or sad right now. It kind of hitting me as both. Happy because I want home, I miss home. I miss my friends and family and food and things, but at the same time it makes me sad to think that this year, as suddenly as it began, can just end.
After month 5 things started to really click well. I was making more friends in school, really understanding and speaking German without having to think much, spending time with my host family, and really enjoying my time here.
It would be nice to go home, I like going places, I just don't like leaving.
Lately I've been fighting off a nasty cold. Just a cough and sniffles, but it lasts forever and makes me so tired. We started with cough drops, then it moved to using steam and breathing it in with herbs, but aftr it made my nose bleed that was given up. Now I'm taking honey with herbs. It is really delicious. Great medicine.
This last weekend I went out on Friday with my friend Max. I wanted to meet with some other friends too but for the most part it didn't work out, so we basically hung out and I slept over. Well, slept over would be exaggerating, I stayed the night at his house, but I honestly didn't sleep at all. The entire night I just turned over and over because I didn't know where the bathroom was and it was icy cold. I finally asked him where it was, but it turns out he can talk in his sleep because he said something about getting off the train because they had no bathroom. It was a long night.
The next day I went to my host grandparents' house and had tea. It was nice, but there was a point where I was trying really hard to stay awake. Then I went to bed at 7pm and slept a good 13 hours.
The rest of the weekend was just being lazy and trying to get healthier. It was a lazy weekend.
Yesterday was Reed's birthday! We went and got Reeses PB cups, then walked around Berlin until we found checkpoint charlie. It was a really nice day.

Today though I went to school at 8 as always, but it turns out that I will have only class starting at 11 on Thursdays as well! I only had the one class today because there was no sport, but I still had to be there the whole day with my sport bag and all because I didn't know, and not only that, but I also accidently left my sport bag in the room after class. I had to ask my teacher what to do, so she helped me get back in while there was a Russian class going on.
Exhausting. Not a all over bad day, but I'm feeling slightly stressed.
We have to pay for the Europe Trip by tomorrow. My bank card only lets me take out about 350 Euros per day, and walking home with that always makes me nervous. One time someone started talking to me as I was withdrawing money, and then I was paranoid the whole way home that I would be mugged. It didn't happen, but still.
Nervracking.
16 Days until my Mom comes to visit me!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Dju left about a week ago. It was sad.
I got to see my first celebrity though. You know lord of the rings? Not Gandolf, but the other wizard. That guy. Duke Doolu. I saw him! We were in the airport with Dju and we were staring as he walked by like 2 meters from us and thinking, wow who is that, and Will showted it, "hey, that's count Doolu!" Then tons of photographers showed up and took his picture. By then we had taken no pictures and he was surrounded by press and gone. It was an awesome moment.
