Tonight is my last night at language camp, and it is pretty melancholy because I'll be leaving my teamers and friends tomorrow at 12:30. I am extremely excited to meet my host family tomorrow and go to the Stemwede Festival! I am also really excited for the talent show tonight (hopefully there will be videos of it). I am singing with three other girls and also preforming a skit with some of the other kids. We just had a really big, yummy last dinner, and we are still writing "sugar cubes" to each other. Sugar cubes are nice, supportive notes that everybody gets in order to stay motivated during the year. I really like this because I know there will be many frustrating days when I have trouble speaking German, and I like being reminded that I have a support group behind me. Today has not been very busy. My friends and I have played the game Catch Phrase and packed our suitcases. The teamers also told us to write letters to our future selves, and we will read those at end year seminar. When I first got to language camp I thought that the teamers were scary, and I wanted to be at my host family's house immediately. I now realize how stupid that was because I love the teamers, and I'll be sad to leave them. I didn't believe the teamers in the U.S.A. when they explained how fun language camp would be and how fast time would fly. I definitely have grown to love Schloß Wittgenstein and all the teamers and teachers here. However, I think I'm even more excited to see my host family than I was before. My host brother and I have been talking these past few days, and the more I talk to him about the festival the more excited I get.
