Just smile. Its something most people dont take offensively. :)

Heyy!!

Wow. Ok. so letss see. Hows everyone doing? uhmm I think its just about time to get this whole thing updated. No worries ill catch yall up but we gonna have to go back like a month...

So I spent a weekend in Bocholt visiting Lukas. It was actually quite fun! I met some of his friends, got to see where he lives, met his parents and all that jazz. I even went to one day of school!  It was nice to see him again here in Germany. Crazy how lives cross paths one place and another. But then after the fun weekend I had to go back to Germersheim.. But i didnt stay long because I took off a couple days later to Halle.

But the day of school I did have was Abistreich. So the graduation class throws a surprise party for the school, With Karaoke, Teacher volleyball, no school. Just basically a big party. Traditionally no one knows when it is. They just go to school and all of a sudden everyone is dancing and singing. :) Kinda a good idea!

So then I was off again... This time Halle. Its in East Germany. a little south of Berlin.

I spent 2 weeks there. The first weekend was a workshop about the area we were going to be staying in and such. It was pretty fun. Meeting other foreigns never gets old. Its like ok.. People from across the world are all sitting in this room, laughing,  having a good time. Its just kinda... crazy. Halle is actually not the prettiest town but.. every other town in the area is gorgeous. Like Dresden or Leipzig. Just look. I mean honestly. Nothing in Prettier. The Frauenkirche. breathtaking. I even ended up one day in the Czech Republic!! My Host family there was amazing. It was a bigger family but that just means more happiness.:) They took me all over to see all the sights there so it was cool. There were 5 kids living there plus one out of the house. But the last one is a little baby foster kid. Hanna, She was soo cutee!!!!! Anyways I really hated going... . they were great. I will have to say the highlight of the trip was going to the zoo and seeing A LION!!!!!!!!!!A real live lion. I even got to see him eat. There were also 2 other female lions. It was definitely a wonderful moment in my life.

So I then took my nice long train ride back to Germersheim... Elke picked me up and when we got back to the house my host dad was in the street with a camera.. i was like wth?! then I looked up and my friends were there to give me a welcome back suprise greeting. :) So thank you Sophie, Ollie, Eileen, Issy, Julia and Leonie!!! it was really great to see all my friends again:) So then I spent the next day at Julias with Eileen, Issy Sophie and Issy. Girls night:) The shopping with leonie the next day where i bought a new spring wardrobe! and yea. This past week I have been shopping a bit with Vivian, and Elena. I also went to Heidelberg with Eris. So beautiful. I will be going back. I have to. It was gorgeous. No way I am leaving Germany without seeing it again. :)

 So thats just a little scoop on my life right now. Its sad. 3 months left. I have something planned almost every weekend. I would like to know where the time went. Ill be back in the good ole states before I know it!!

Tschüssie!!
