UPDATE woohoo

This update is all for you mommy! I'm gonna talk about all the weird things that my mom asked me to that I don’t usually talk about...

School is going okay. I understand what my teachers say now a lot better, but I still don’t understand the lessons they are teaching... They don’t expect me to do anything anyways, so it doesn’t matter if I understand or not haha. The kids in my class still don’t talk to me much, only a select few which are Verena, Julian, and Sibel... All of the others are either scared of me or just not interested. Most of the people I hang out with are either in the 12th or 13th grade, so I feel cool when I see them in school and they talk to me. Then all the brats in my class see that I have friends and I don’t need them! haha I am kidding, kind of...

Most of my friends back home still keep in touch pretty good... I talk to Leona almost every day because she goes out of her way to talk to me at a good time for my time zone. I talk to all of my other friends on myspace or aol a couple times a week at least. They all say they want to visit but I know none of them really will. Except maybe Leona, she wants to come back after schools over because she loved it here so much.

When I was at home I used my cell phone sooooooo much, but here I hardly ever use it. Because it is prepaid, and totally expensive. The first couple months I was using like 50$ a month for the phone, but now I use it a lot less. I just text people when something’s up because it’s cheaper than calling.

Okay so now about the food... My host mom and grandma cook lunch every day, so I come home from school to a warm meal. I don’t even know how to explain the stuff they cook, it is just good normal stuff... Always some kind of meat with rice or noodles or potatoes or something. Oh and there is ALWAYS some kind of gravy or sauce to put on things.

The dog Lucky is still really dumb and he still eats my shoes... He went to the vet the other day and they said he needs to lose 5 kilos because he is too fat. The birds are still really loud but I am getting used to it now. The cockadoo Chica can talk a little bit, but in German of course...

In May I am going on a trip all over Europe with Rotary. Courtney and Erika are going too of course. We will be on the bus for 20 days, driving all over Germany, France, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. I can't wait for that...

I talked to my Rotary counselor today and he told me he might have found a new host family for me. It is not final yet but I will most likely be moving soon. The family he has for me has a daughter that was in Argentina last year, and that’s all I know about them so far.

I am working on an online American History class right now which is going good. Slow, but good... I get lazy after school and I don’t feel like working on it, but sometimes I'm just in the mood for learning.

I've been eating peanut butter with a spoon lately because I have absolutely nothing to snack on... For some reason Germans have no snacks in the house, and I am forbidding myself from spending any more of my money on food because I've used so much on food already...

Well next week I have no school so I am happy about that... I don’t have any plans yet but I am sure I'll be hanging out with Erika and Courtney at some point because we haven’t hung out in a while!

That’s all the random things for today.. I gotta go to sleep!
