News

This week I started in a new class. I asked to switch because I didnt have any friends in the other class. All I had was Julian and all of his friends in the 12th grade. I wanted to make some of my own friends in my class so I switched to a different 11th grade class. I couldnt see myself ever becoming good friends with anyone in my old one.

Its been really warm this past week... Well not really warm, but a lot warmer than usual. Its about 55 during the day and one day it even got up to 65. Its realllly really nice!

Nothing else is new... Just hanging out with friends on weekends and going to school during the week of course. Well, thats it for now... Ill update again if something interesting happens.

My week off

Not much happened last week without school. I mostly just relaxed the whole time... Hung out with Courtney a little bit, and also with some of my German friends. The last day of fasching was on Wednesday and there was a big parade in Courtney's city to end it all. It was really good but it ended up raining and all the confetti that people threw just stuck to us.

I havent gotten any news about a new host family yet, my counselor isnt very good with keeping in touch. Now I am back to normal, going to school again... Not very exciting. Only 5 more weeks until we get another break for Easter!

xoxo really miss you all.
Happy Valentines Day on Thursday!

Fasching!

Luckily this week I have no school... I had such a long weekend! Erika had no school on Thursday, so she came to Ulm and I met up with her after I was done with school. Then we took the train together to Ehingen to visit Courtney. We got to meet her new host family and they are really nice. Her host mom asked me to sleep over and told me she would write me an excuse out of school on Friday! So on Thursday night we were fasching in Courtney’s city... I don’t know if I explained fasching yet, but that is the reason we have school off this week. It is pretty much their version of Halloween, they all dress up crazily and party non-stop all week. Friday afternoon, Erika and I went back to Ulm for a couple hours so I could talk to my hosts and get some clothes. Then we took a 3 hour train back to Erika’s. I stayed there on Friday and Saturday night and we were fasching in Switzerland which was really cool. Erika and Courtney both have really cool friends. On Sunday morning we took a train to Lindau, where Austin lives, and we stayed there for a couple hours and watched the big parade in his city. The parade in my city was a couple weeks ago, remember I posted pics? Well anyways, I took the train home from Lindau at about 4 and got home at like 5:30 or something... I took a shower and left the house again for one of my friends’ birthday parties. I was so tired so I didn’t stay out late. Now it is Monday morning and I dont know what I'm doing the rest of the week, but I'll update again before I go back to school. Oh and I'll post some pictures from the weekend within the next couple days.
