Just Like in the Movies.

Today. I literally ran to catch a train. I jumped on just as it went to take off. It was a perfect movie scene except it wasnt for anything special. Just to go and see Antigone, the play, in Ludwigshafen. I ended up not understanding anything except whether the actors were happy or sad. Wow. Well to start the day off we had one period of class then the whole 11th grade was to go to the main train station to catch the train to the theatre. Well I, along with some others, decided to take a train that went by the school to the main train station. It was all good except that one very important train... decided not to come. Leaving me and the others running to the train station. I ended up in a group of 4 who took the wrong way. By the time we got there we were last and we also made the train late. But all ended up ok. I made it home safe and sound. 

So as you may have noticed I finally had the patience to upload pictures. They are all out of order so pay no attention to that... Well this past week and couple days have been very wonderful! Friday was St. Martin´s Day. I went with Sarah and Wolfgang to her kindergarten where we met with all the others then walked a little around the neighborhood singing songs. All the kids had little lanterns. It was a very cultural experience to say the least! St. Martin... Ohhh I dont know how to explain him.. google him? He was a nice guy who gave his coat to  someone I think... After that though I went to Julia´s house for girls night! Fun!! Saturday I slept the whole day basically.. haha On Sunday I met with Vivian and we had a nice walk. And I skyped home!! Awwww my little boys are growing up:( Lane is walking and Parker´s favorite animal when I asked was Winn Poo:) I also found out Jeremy has made national news with his mayor election. Psh and they say nothing ever happens in a small town... 

So Tuesday. I got a story for ya. OK not really more like an adventure. Soo was out of school pretty early. like 11:30. So My host mom suggested I go to Speyer for the afternoon. So I did. I got a little shopping done.. (Hello new hat, gloves, scarves & jacket!!) I also got to see the beautiful Cathedral there! It was very nice. I only got lost once but a nice old lady got me back to where I needed to be. All in all it was very nice..:)

I CANT WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS!!!! In Speyer they were setting up for Weihnachtsmarkt. Christmas vendors galore. the street was filled but they werent open yet. That just gives me any excuse to go back:) Anyway Im listening to Christmas music noww!! Love it! But I have to get past Thanksgiving before I can get to much in the Holiday Spirit. This may be a challenge because.. I have an announcement... I am preparing Thanksgiving meal. Not completely alone. My host dad and mom will help but yess. A turkey adn all the finxins! Im excited!! 

Tomorrow.. Friday Friday.. Im going back to Speyer now that I think of it.

The whole 11th grade goes somewhere.. to a club for instance. Cant wait!! WooHOo! Ok wellll tschüss! Bis Später!
