Average Day

Today I woke up, sick. I had a really bad cough and a runny nose, but I went to school. I got on the bus, and it was my friend Nina`s birthday (which I had forgotten=) but I LOVE bdays in Germany everyone gives you hugs even if you do not know them...and there is always cake involved. yum. Then my German teacher did not show up so I had two free periods, so two friends and I went to McDonalds=) "McSundae mit schoko bitte?" haha yum. Then math came...and I got thinking randomly, and got really sad...idk. and I started to cry. It was easy to hide, because I was sick and was pretending to focus really hard on my math book. But then my neighbor asked me a question.
And I had to look up=(
A girl asked me what was wrong. I told her I didnt really know (which I didnt) maybe it was a little bit of homesickness...they gave me hugs. I felt better.
Then I had Bio...ugh. that was a joke. And get this I need more space on my desk so I put a paper in my binder so that I could write and I got scolded at by the teacher in German and she asked me a question at the end...and I was like yea....what? Felt like one of those snaughty kids...but I didnt mean to. oh well.
But then I got on the bus and the friend that had asked me what was wrong, road the bus with me and we had a good chat, and are going to watch P.S. I love u on Friday together. It was cute she was telling me about the first day when I walked into bio her neighbour was like "Oh cool! an exchange student! we have to talk to her and figure out where she lives and yadayada." and she was like "oh cool an exchange student, whatever" and then she was like " now look at us?" haha. she never thought we would be friends. lol
Then I got home and ate food, went upstairs chatted on facebook, read MLIA.com (story of my life), started writing my little biography thingy for a year book some other friends are making for me=), then I sat on my bed to read my scriptures and fell asleep for three hours.oops. I went down to eat and get some cough drops, and then I came back up and am currently watching Americas next top Model. Yep its just as dramatic as Americas=) Well Gute Nacht.

Two truths and a Lie

Okay...I don´t even know what to say...I would start from the beginning but Id be on here for like five million years. So school has been great. I mean I do not understand most of what the teachers say, but its getting better everyday. Its crazy when I carry on a conversation with hardly any effort. Then I realize and im like what.just.happened. I mean the only time that happens is when we are talking about really simple things like music we like or something. But still. Ive met so many new people I cannot remember half of their names, mainly because they are all German names. Everyone has really reached out to me. Well mainly at first because "yay an american!" and its slowly waring off, but everyone is still nice. Everyone always says "oh sussss!!" "oh cute!!!" whenever I say anything. So far the only besties Ive made have been at language camp (aka other exchange students) but I see many friends coming along. Once I get past the language barrier=) Well today I got my first German binder and notebooks (which are different) they only have two holes not three, the germans thought my american binder was the funniest thing ever. haha. well now Im organized and all germaned out. well I wanted to make a list of things I have found that are different so far...

It seems that they are eating alllll the time, but they dont get fat!

They either walk, drive bikes, or public transportation to get around (usually)

School: u have a different schedule everyday and u take 10 or more classes at once.

Music: they are very into techno and old songs. next to no pop.

Bread and cheese everynight

they are very organized, even the kids

very punktual

you dont turn in homework u only get graded on tests and participation

you can buy beer when ur 16

80% of the young population smoke 

They drink carbonated water.

They dont have ice water.

I cant remember all the rest at the moment but I will make sure to write them when I think of them. But now I want to explain the rumors that are not true.

Germans are NOT mean. They are honest however.

The girls do shave.

They do open windows and let in cool breezes in the car.

If u have any other rumors that u hear and would like to know the truth about, dont hesitate to ask=) well Ive have homework to do. Thanks for reading. Ill get better at this with time. I promise. and I may even get fancy and start posting pictures=p
