My arrival in Germany! Was so so tired from L.A



Oh yes i forgot to mention, we went to L.A before we came to europe. We left on the 21st of January and was in L.A for 3 days and then arrived in Germany on the 25th. It was an awsome 3 days, well we acually lost 1 days or a few hours from america to germany. We left on the 24th of january and arrive on the 25th. In L.A we went to disneyland, universal studios and venice beach. We all had aot of fun and didnt sleep much. I miss alot of the girls already and still keep in touch over internet.

April

Hey guys, well i have just made my blog page so sorry it is so late. I have been so busy the last 3 months, so so crazy it has already been 3 months. I really dont know where they have gone. I am officially at my second host family which is really scary to think about, but they are really nice and i have a younger host brother who is 5 years old. My last host family were really really lovely and didnt want to leave but i think i will be going back to them for my 4th family.

So the last 3 months i have done alot! I arrived on January 25th and then started school on the 5th of february so i had alot of time to settle in and just get used to things. I have been the language school 3 days a week and finished the first course, that was very helpful and i learnt alot of the basics. The language is still very hard but i can understand alot more than when i arrived, concidering i knew nothing when i arrived. I have been to many rotary weekends meeting all the exchange students and they are all really cool and alot of fun. I have been to 2 of my club meetings which are abit boring but they are at a really nice hotel and have an amazing dinner for you. Of course i dont just go for the dinner, i also go to hear the amazing presenations they do in german.

I have already been on my europe tour which was incrediable. We were in berlin first, then went over to prague, then vienna, then was in Lido de Jesolo in Italy and did a day trip to venice, then went to Montecatini Terme still in Italy and did day trips to Florence and Pisa, then after Italy we went to Nizza and had a city tour around Monaco which isnt far from Nizza then went back to Nizza and had a city tour there, Then after Italy we went over to France but on the way to Paris we stopped at Lyon for a night because it would take to long from Nizza to Paris, then after Lyon we went to Paris and then our last country was Belguim and we were in Brussels. I enjoyed the europe trip alot and loved all the places we went to. We all had alot of fun together and grew stronger relationships with everyone, we all didnt want to go home. I loved Venice alot but the people were abit rude and very pushy. I think i loved prague the best in czech republic, it was so beautiful, i can not describe how amazing it was. The weather was amazing and the sun on the buildings and no cloud in the sky. It was increadiable. So yes we have been on our europe trip so that was very early and it was 19 days long. So nearly 3 weeks long, well basically 3 weeks.

I was also in Berlin on a class trip a few days after i got back from europe trip, that was alot of fun and enjoyed that alot. We all got along very well and got to know all the girls in my class alot better, there is only 1 boy in my class by the way. He doesnt seem to mind that but it is abit sad for us girls sometimes, no im only joking. We only had 3 days in Berlin but we acually only had 1 full day because we arrived there 2.30pm and then we left at 4.30 on the last day. We went to an english theatre which was very strange but interesting and then had a drama workshop the next day which was alot of fun! It was all in english which helped me alot.

I moved to my second host family about 1 week ago on sunday. I play alot of games with my host brother and the other day he made me do this bead thing which is very difficult and then when you finish you iron it and it melts and joins together then you take it home. When i started i didnt know i had to do the whole thing in order to iron it so it took me two hours to finish with him saying the whole time "Du bist fertig?" which means are you finished? I have alot of fun with him and he cannot speak any english which helps me alot and i learn alot of german from him.

I cannot believe the first 3 months are already up, i only have 9 months left and i know it will go really fast. I have already made plans for my summer holidays which will be alot of fun and it will be summer!! I am so excited for summer and just want nice hot sunny weather. The weather here has been alright laterly but aparently i am very lucky to have nice weather so early, acually as im writing this it is raining outside. It just started to rain as i was saying it has been nice weather laterly, not anymore.

I better be going, i have to get ready for school tomorrow and put some pictures up from europe tour. Thanks for reading and i will write more next month so i have more exciting news.
