Well. The time has come again, to update my little friends.

First things first, if it works, I will be getting a new layout in about...ten seconds after the post is posted. YEY!
I entered a Secret Santa on this forum I go to, and now someone has actually made me a layout!! Better that all the crappy ones out there.
To be honest, it could be someone better than Lindsay Lohan, but it's OK. Tell me what you think!
Now I might actually be blogging a little bit more frequently, because I have a cool layout!

My Msn isn't working, which sucks, but I guess it means I can only be distracted by other things then, not people talking to me.

This past week has been amazing, especially the last few days! For the first time in ages, I am actually able to say that I am going along really well, not just going.
I think it is that time of the exchange. Everyone says that in the second half, so after 6 months, everything becomes so much easier. Like, school, people are starting to get used to you and talk to you, invite you places and are finally settling in in the country.
It has been amazing. Honestly.
And Emily, Antwerp isn't anywhere near germany. It is on the other side of the country. Did you ever pay attention in geography? Obviously not. I guess it is close compared to now though. :P

Well, on Thursday and Friday I went to hocke,y no surprises there. It was also snowing, but only a little bit, when I was riding to the train station. that really isn't that fun, but it felt nice, riding in the snow.

Saturday I basically hung around at home. Janina came at 4pm, and we sat around and talked for a while. That was fun. Janina is really funnny, and fun and cool. She was in NZ for a year. She's great.
After she left we all sat around in the family room. We watched some videos, ones of Nina when she was little, the video of me coming to the family, in Hamburg and in Center Parcs last holidays and the video they made when the were in Ireland a few weeks before I came. Nina was so cute as a little baby.
We ate dinner and hung around some more. I don't remember what we did though. Then we went to bed.

Next day we drove to a Christmas Market in "Harz." It was so beautiful. Just as we walked out of the car it started snowing, and it was like a dream come true! It was so beautiful. Like in a movie. We were standing under a little shop thing drinking some hot liquid-like substance, apparently German is famous for it, watching the snow come down. Beautiful.
We also ate these great apples with chocolate over the top. Yummy. I swear, I am going to be so fat by the end of this year. :X

We also drunk coffe/hot chocolate in a beautiful little tea shop. It was like this massive house, and in all the little rooms there were little tables, about three in every room. It was so cosy and prettyful! It was great. It was so great, sitting inside in the warm drinking hot chocolate and watching these massive snowflakes falling down outside. Wow!!!!

We were in this wonderful little city, in the mountains, "Harz." It was great, because it is a really old city, with those typical German houses that everyone imagines are here. I love it!

We drove back, through the snow, and finally got home and ate lunch at 4pm! It was a little late! But lunch was yummy.

After that we played "Die Siedler von Catan", it is this game I am addicted to. And then we went in Delta. It was a great day, all in all.

Yesterday I went to Halle. My class went in the Planetarium there. Nothing really much to say about that, just alot of German speaking people and sitting around in a bus for three hours. Not fun, but fun, not being at school.

I hadn't actually been to Halle before, but now I have. It was great fun. It was snowing the whole time, and the ground was completely white. It was so beautiful walking through the trees in the snow, just like in the movies.

The trip back was OK, like the one there. I listened to music.

I honestly don't know how I am going to keep updating this though. I mean, it is already so hard for me to speak English. I hope you all know what I mean. But, what comes comes, and I will have to work through it I guess.

Nina's birthday is tomorrow, so hopefully I will be able to update after that. I hope it is OK, but if I don't, Have a great Christmas, and A happy new year.

I am planning to celebrate MY new years with friends form school. And there will be "no" alcohol there, so don't worry about me. Or at least that's what my host-parents think. But...ssshhhh...

And Emily, hope you have a great going away party and a terrific flight! I know you will love every single minute of it. I am so proud of you, and we will see each other soon. :D

I love you all and miss you all. So much.

Hope you enjoy my new tagboard as well!
