I have had a really fun and crazy few days. Last Friday night I went to game night at the library with Madalyn (a fellow CBYXer). We played Cards Against Humanity and Spot It3 with a few Brits and some Germans, and it was really fun and entertaining. On Saturday Madalyn, Mahalia, and I went to Osnabrück, a nearby city, and shopped. We went to several stores and a wok restaurant. I was so excited about the wok because I have been craving Asian food for quite some time now. Later Saturday night, Madalyn's host parents took us to a festival in a nearby town called Quernheim. Quernheim was celebrating 825 years of existence I think, and there was a lot of dancing. On Sunday I ate my first pancakes in Germany, and it made me really happy! School has gotten a lot better. I feel a little more like I belong in my classes, and I have made some friends. Today a girl approached me and wanted to talk about High School Musical and learn about American proms, so now we are friends. During my free periods I usually get coffee or shop in the grocery store or the book store. Right now it is getting a little colder, so I don't like to stay outside for too long during breaks. I feel like I am understanding more German...I hope. Several times this week I have been able to answer people even if I didn't know all the words that they used, and that made me really excited! I really hope to post my pictures soon. I have been really busy, but I think I will have more time this weekend.
