Hey everyone,
Sorry I haven’t been updating, there isn’t really too much to update on during the school week. All I do is go to school, then come home and watch TV and hang out with my dog...
My host brother Daniel is still in the Bundeswehr Krankenhaus. That is the German Army hospital. My host mother goes there to visit him every day, but she always leaves before I get home from school, so I don’t get to go with her. I hope he is okay, I still don’t know what is wrong with him. My German is still not too good so I don’t know exactly how to talk to my parents about him. And when they tell me I probably wouldn’t understand them anyway. I just ask my parents how he is doing and I tell them to tell him I say hello.
Today I had Mittagsschule. Mittagsschule is "afternoon school". Usually I get out at 12:55, but on Thursdays I have to stay until 3:20. At 12:55 instead of going home, we have a 45 minute break for lunch and then come back for two more classes.
Yesterday I went to the book store after school and got 2 German language workbooks that my German teacher recommended so that I have something to do during class. Usually all day I just sit there and do nothing... But today I just worked on the books all day during every class. My teachers don’t care that I'm not listening to the lesson because they know that I don’t understand anyway. They are just glad I am working on something instead of sitting there clueless doing nothing at all. Most of my teachers are very nice and don't expect me to do homework or anything, but my math teacher and my biology teacher both yell at me when I don’t have it done. In the beginning my classmates would stick up for me, but now I think they are just sick of it and they are over the "lets help the new exchange student" stage.
The first couple weeks I was here I lost a couple pounds, but now I have already gained it back plus more... It sucks! But the food is so good so I can’t stop eating. I really don’t care though because I am not going to be able to have this food forever, so I will just go on a diet when I come home haha.
Tomorrow after school I am getting on the train and heading to Schwarzwald, which is called The Black Forest in English. I will be gone for a week for a Rotary Conference. Courtney is going too, so I know it will be fun. I get to miss a week of school which is the best part. When I come home, I have to go to school for a week and then we have our Herbst Ferien, which is a weeklong break for Autumn/Fall. They have breaks for pretty much every season and Holiday which is nice.
So I will not be updating again until next Friday, so expect a long update with lots of pictures when I get back!
p.s. Pray for Daniel!
Love,
Megan

Wow, your host brother has been in the hospital awhile now. I hope he is feeling better soon. It must be hard on your host mom. Diet ? How can you even talk about that skinny? How about that sauerkraut? Do you like it yet? Have fun on your mini vacation and stay safe. We all love and Miss you!! Only 10 months to go!
Hope your host brother is on the mend, we'll keep him in our prayers. I have to admit, the first thing that came to my mind when you mentioned the name of where he's at is "Budweiser Crackhouse". I must be evil or something because it is not even funny - he must be pretty sick and the last thing I should do is make a joke. Sorry. XOXOXO
As usual, I enjoy your updates. It makes me miss the times I was living in Spain. You should try new foods and enjoy everything you can since you only live once. Daniel is our prayers.
