How Time Flies When You're Having FunWow, it has been so long since I last updated, a week, but it feels like I updated yesterday. Yes, that's right. I have been having so much fun in the last week, it seems like the time is just running away from me.
I am getting worried. I only have 74 days left, until I come home, and some of those days won't even be here in germany. In realty I only have about 64 days left here in Braunschweig, and I am scared that I won't be able to do everything that I want to do.
Although it is the reality, I don't
want to hear that I have to go home soon. I want another...4 months or something here. (In about September it'll get cold...=P)
On Tuesday and Wednesday I went to school, like normal. In the breaks and things I talked to friends, had alot of fun. I really love going to school right now, it is just so much fun! The people in my class are all really nice, and I have become really good friends with some of them. The lessons are...OK, but
alot better than in Schoenebeck. I am just so
happy here. =D
On Thursday we had a free day, because they had oral tests in the school...and, for some reason we just got given free. It was great. I had to go to school anyway, because I had to go to the Jazz Combo practice (I play my clarinet), and we have a peformance on Wednesday, and we
really need to practice.
It was OK though, going to school on our day off, because Jazz Combo and all the people there are all really nice. It's actually alot of fun.
After the rehearsal I met Claudia, one of the girls from my class and we went into the city, and went shopping. It was alot of fun, we just had a look in all of the shops, and I found so much stuff to buy. I bought some of it, but not all of it. Sometime we also met Annika, another girl from my class and we all went crazy trying on stuff. I also found a skirt and bought it!!
(Shock horror)Annika had to meet a friend eventually, so Claudia and I left her and we ate some ice-cream...it is like German Culture, eating an ice-cream in the city. It is so good, and the ice-cream is real stuff, not Streets or anything. I swear, I am going to be so...big, when I get home, from the whole ice-creams. Maybe I will be normal though, because I lost alot of weight before. Now I will just put it all back on again.
I went home, had school on friday, went with Annika in the city and we walked around for a while, then I got my tram and went home. After that I went for a run and...yea.
Saturday I met with Katharina, another friend. We ate some ice-cream and went shopping, walked around the city a little bit. I am really getting to know the city and all of its shops. It's funny. I didn't buy anything though, at least I don't think I did...
I got home and fooled around, wrote some letters to friends and things and then I wrote in my diary and went to bed. I also did this thing that we learnt at the YFU Middle-Seminar. It is like a tension map, and it is really great, to reflect on the year, or in this case, my last two months. =D
Thanks YFU Middle-Seminar Teamers!!
Sunday was such a great day. It was so beautiful, the sun was shining and the birds were singing. Well, the birds weren't exactly singing, but the church bells were ringing. I ate breakfast and the Caro and I went outside, we wanted to fix her bike. It didn't really work out, but we spent a good two hours outside talking and laughing and making pictures and ridiculing the various attempts to fix it.
We actually wanted to ride down to the river, there is a river here, about 30 mins away, and I didn't even know it! But since we only had one bike, I rode the bike and she walked.
What we did was really cool. We packed food and drink and a rug and my camera on the back of the bike and set off. We then found a spot on the river bank and lay down on the rug, eating and drinking. We could put our feet into the river, although the rocks were all slimy, and we were outside in the sun all day. It was so beautiful.
It was like going back to our kinderhood. Going for a tea-party with a friend in the grass in the backyard. It was so...amazing. It reminded me of being a kid, even what we were wearing. (We were both wearing thongs and jeans rolled up to the legs and short sleeved T-shirts.)
That was so cool!!
Today I went to school. On Mondays I normally have 8 lessons *spew*, but because we had a Jazz Combo practice I got out after the 6th lesson, and then we were actually finished before the last lesson was over, but I just went home. It was so much easier, because i would have had to have gone to the Secretary to get into the room (it is the Chemistry room, and there are big doors between the classes) and that was really hard. And it wasn't worth it for 15 minutes of the lesson. And it was better to go home because I am tired. Why am I justifying myself anyway?
Yea, everything is going well here. I know that most of my friends are at the Gold Coast, and I am very, very jealous. But it is fun here too. =D
Have fun guys,
