Today at school I also realized that we have exactly 3 Asians and 1 black guy. What's up with that? Most everyone else is either German or Turkish, but I'm pretty sure that Germans aren't really big Turk fans. Seriously though, Turks invented the Döner, what are they complaining about?
So much has happened that I haven't written about!
I'm just going to give it all in summary-style.
Christmas was pretty cool. Really anti-climatic. It lasted from the 24-26 and mostly we just ate a lot.
I ate bunny and goose for the first time, probably some other weird things too, I just feel bad because even though gooses are so cute they taste really good.
The third day of Christmas I got really homesick and my host sister helped me out of it. We had a sleepover and then I felt a lot better. Then next day I went shopping (finally) with Will! I'm very glad to have a nice allowance, because I ended up buying a number of things, including new boots. Apparently without good boots, in Germany your feet will die a slow and painful death. So I'm glad that is taken care of.
The next day we woke up way too early to pick up Simms (from USA) from the airport. She came to stay with me for about a week and we had a lot of adventures. We went to Berlin a couple times, as well as spent one night, two days with my friend Jorge (From Ecuador) in Rostock. Rostock was so much fun! We spent a lot of time with Jorge and his host siblings who are also super awesome, walked on the beach for about 10 minutes (in -15º, we called it quits when we couldn't feel our hands), and went to a nice Mexican restraunt for dinner.
I got to see Pauline on the 2nd! We were doing touristy things that day for Simms, and we met with her and I was so happy. It was kind of dream come true. She is the reason I ever started German in the first place! It was always my dream to be with her here!
New years was amazing as well. I went with my exchanger friends to Berlin and we went to the Brandenburger Gate. There is a longer story behind this all, but you will just have to ask me if you want to know :) It was the best New Years I could have asked for.
It is school again and I am exhausted. I am trying to finish up my UO app before the due date in about 10 days. It shouldn't be too hard, but it just is.
I recieved an amazing package from my best friends Annie and Amelia! It had sweets and letters and something completely amazing inside. I may just have to send one back!
P.S. There is a ridiculous amount of snow here! I don't even like it anymore!
Other weird things:
-Why is all the ground covered in unmoving ice? It's been there over a month!
List: To be continued....
Nice photos! It's great that you got to see Pauline in Germany.
