It's hard to believe that it's been so long since my last post, but time has flown by since last March. I've enjoyed a very long Easter break as well as some trips around Münster and Hamburg.
In the middle of March my host sister celebrated her birthday, and near the end of March we watched a volleyball game between Münster and Stuttgart. Münster won. :) Our last week of school before break was very interesting because it was the 12th grade's last day of school. Every year they get to dress up for the whole week (sort of like our Spirit Week at school), and then on Friday they pull pranks around the school. Then, the 11th grade has to clean up after them. Long story short, I ended up pulling tampons and pads off the floor and ceiling in one hallway for over an hour.
Over Easter break my host sister and I worked at a horseback riding camp, so we got to help kids and also ride a good bit ourselves. This is always really fun for me because it reminds me of my horses at home. After break we headed back to school, and my host sister went to Slovenia on a week long exchange. My host parents then took me to see Hamburg on the following Saturday! We rode on a ferry boat, ate at a couple local restaurants, and went sight-seeing.
My host brother just had a birthday this week, so we had a barbecue in the back yard. I'm very excited that the weather is now getting warmer! After this last week of school, we went to a fair here in Münster. I'm proud to announce that I did not cry on the roller coaster; although, I thought about it.
This next week is again really busy. We are going to have a long weekend starting on Friday, so we are going to see Cologne and Bonn. I'll let you guys know what I'm up to later in May, and I hope you are all having a wonderful spring!
