Okay, so I am sitting here typing this blog on my first Saturday morning with my host family, that's right I have so managed to last a week through all the insanity that comes with being the new American student in Hungen, Germany. I am going to list the major points:
1. My host family is wonderful, hands down, I am really blessed to have them.
2. I was lucky enough to time my arrival with a small group of students from Buffulo, N.Y visiting Hungen. They have been here for about a week before me, but they are leaving this Monday. They have made it a lot easier adjusting to culture shock, and I am have some friends as a result because the group is staying with host students. Jive.
3. I think I have gone to school less then I have ever in my life for a week that was intended to be a full week of school. I think we are all aware that in Germany, if the teacher never shows up, you don't have class.
4. I have officially decided to return to Tallwood High School for another year of school after my time in Germany. It was pretty clear to me that I will only be learning German in school this year, and that I may only be able to understand what is going on towards the end of the year in most of my classes.
5. I have a newfound musical addiction to Owl City.
6/ Nutella and Ice Tea is a great morning-after-the-party meal
oh, and cheers!
