Going TodayWell, today is my last day here in Schoenebeck. It was quite an ordinary day, but I will tell you what happened anyway, just because I feel like it.
I got up at 6:15am, even though I could sleep in till 7am. I got up because I am trying to upload all of my photos onto a site before I go, so that my father can copy them. I love you Dad, thank you so much!!
I had breakfast, got ready for school and talked with the parentals here, and then set off on the bike for the last time.
Oh, my purple, ugly bike, how will I ever forget you?
Got to school. Well, on the street before the school I saw one of my friends, who was walking, and I stopped and walked with her.
Got to school and talked to everyone for a bit, then the bell rung and we went inside. I had English, we actually write a test in English. But it was easy, so it is not like it matters. I gave my test to the teacher, even though it was completely pointless. She said my German grammar and things are really good, and there was only a few mistakes with some things in German.
Cool.
Went on break, went outside, I froze my arse off, like every other day. Nothing special
Went to German, talked about short stories. It was actually really good today, and I said quite alot in the class, compared to normal. We are doing short stories with the theme, "To be Foreign," so it does kind of relate.
Said goodbye to the teacher, who is really nice, and young. She is probably the only young teacher in the whole school. She is nice.
Went to Chemistry, here is where all the note-passing etc happened.
There is this guy who sits in front of me, his name is Phillip. He is really nice, and if I am allowed to say it, good looking too. We have gotten on well in the last few weeks as well. In the middle of the boring lesson he passed me a note. It said,
"I think it's a real pity, that you're going away now, just when you are so good at German and have so many friends here, when you are doing really well."
I was shocked...I was like...Uhhh...
We wrote back and forth.
Me: It was my decision, and I think it is for the best, it'll be hard, but I wan't to do it.
Him: Yea, fair enough. When it isn't so great with your family. It was a good time though, it was funny with you.
Me: I didn't really do much, but thanks. It was a great time, except when we had Mrs. Schadow.
Him: I can understand that. I know, we never really spent anytime together. But I think you're cool all the same. No idea, but you have a cool radiation/ charisma. (No idea what he meant here...)
Me: Thanks. You know that cool is an English word yea? I really didn't talk with many people except for my friends in the school, so it is nothing special.
Him: Maybe it's your accent. (Yes, I have an accent when i talk German!!) No idea, hopefully you will have more luck in Braunschweig.
I didn't write back, the paper was full and it was the end of the lesson. This guy is so sweet...<3.
And no, I am not embarrassed to say that in front of my parents.
Had another lesson of Chemistry, but we wrote a test. The whole lesson, I did it, but I didn't give it in, because the teacher said not to.
Then it was lunch break. That was the best lunch break I have ever had, we took pictures and stuff.
French. Urgh. I hate it, but I sat through it, without falling asleep. That's always a plus! Had maths, which was my last lesson of the whole time here.
Maths is always boring, but it seemed to go pretty fast, when I think about it.
At the end my friends all told me to wait, and we all went out together and stood in the corridoor. They gave me some presents, which was really sweet.
I got a book, which they all wrote in, completely full with stuff from them. I also got some kind of stuffed toy, a penguin and a bouncy ball. It wasn't much, but it was sweet. We all hugged each other and we all promised we would write to each other.
Phillip came up and we hugged as well, he seemed to hang on for a while...lol!
Anyway, we all went our speerate ways. The coridoor goes in four directions, two went behind us, one went left and one went right and two were in front of us. Us is me and Debbie, btw.
It was such like a movie, all walking away from each other, in different directions. It was really sad, but I still had Debbie.
But I did it. I got out of the school, said goodbye to my friends and didn't cry once.
It was only when I got to Omi Margit when I cried. I bawled and bawled. She bawled. It was sad.
I gave her a present and then I left her apartment, went downstairs and out the door, back over the road to our house. I was bawling.
Now I am here. A few minutes ago Oliver came in and gave me a rose, apparently it is Women Day or something. Never heard of it. Smells nice though. He took my luggage down, with a little help or hindrance from me. I finished them about ten minutes before he came in.
So right now I am uploading photos still, and writing this. I intend to go and take some last photos of the house and stuff as well.
I am so excited to be going to a new house. Naturally, I am really scared, at what they will be like. I really am, and I hope they are OK. I know it'll be great in school, I already have so many friends.
So, I will talk to you guys next when I talk to you guys. It could be in two weeks or it could be tomorrow, I have no idea.
But, I love you all, I thank you all for the support and I miss you all so badly.
All m love,
Vera was here at 2:43 AM
