Today my friend Tobias ( A Boy who also went on a exchange, but his was to new zealand last year) and I went to Hamburg for the day. We hiked up a church. There was 544 steps one way and 1088 in total. It was crazy! We sat by the harbour and talked. I also ate Düner (pronounced like doona). As well when we were going to the underwater tunnel to go to the other side of the river a bird took a crap on my camera! MY BIG AMAZING CAMERA! it hit and splattered on my jeans hand camera and jacket. It was horribly gross. We (we being I and toby laughing his butt off) cleaned it up quickly, but I really need to clean my camera! But in total I had a lot of fun and I hope to do it again! =)

Guten tag alle!  
Ich bin jetzt in Deutschunterricht. Ich habe ein unterricht täglich. Meine deutsch ist nicht gut. Ich machen besser sie. Miene schule ist sehr gut und meine freund sind nett!

Ich lebt in Bad Oldesloe. Ich wohne in Krahnkoppel!. Ich bin sehr glüchlich.

Thats all I have to say in german right now. But I  hope to improve. There are probably lots of spelling errors and grammatical errors and such, but what I was trying to say was:

Good day all! 
I am not in german lessons. I have a lesson everyday.  My german is not good. I would like to be better. My school is very good and my friends are nice!

I live in Bad Oldesloe. The street is Krahnkoppel. I am very happy. 

Yea thats all. I have met a lot of people and just recently I met a few other exchange students who went to the U.S. and New Zealand from Germany. I can't recall their names at this moment, but i tried to find them on facebook when I knew their names. That still didn't go to well. I hope to contact them and we can get together. It will be nice with someone else knowing what I am going through. Lotta knows too, but she didn't get homesick. So its not the same. 

I MISS PEANUT BUTTER! <3 

The food that Heike and Reiner make is always delicious. Like crazy delicious. I can always smell it when I am in the house. It makes my mouth water. 

There are lots of hot guys here, just incase anyone is wondering. Good thing for buisness cards! ;) I am just kidding. The only difference between the Canadian boys and the German boys is that almost every boy here (that I have met anyway) has blue eyes. They are gorgeous blue eyes. 

I believe that the Chocolate is better than the ice cream. I am weak when it comes to chocolate. I have bought 3 Chocolate bars for my german lessons (they are long and sugar will keep me awake) and I eat them on our 15 minute break. 

In my german lessons I am the youngest there. Everyone is old. Today we were talking about in 20 years what do you see yourself doing. Most people in the class (there is only 8 of us) will be 50 or 40. I am like.. I will be 30. I plan on working. =D I am a baby compared to these people. They are all very nice. I am also the only person who goes to school in the morning then to german lessons in the morning. They all sleep then go to german lessons. Pft. 

Thats all for now I guess... uhmm... I met Thomas (my rotary counsellor) he is really cool. =) As well as Olaf. I see him lots and he is really cool as well. Sie sind fenomenal! [ they are fenomenal]

Bis einen tag! Tschüss

So I have been going to school for one week and a day. The school is SO DIFFERENT from the ones back home. Its like they pick classes out of a hat. Its crazy. My german lessons start next monday. They run from 1:30pm until 7:30pm everyday. I will be going to the morning classes of school, taking a train to Hamburg then going to the school where my lessons are. Everybody is very understanding and most of the students are trying to teach me german and i am helping them all with english! =) In the english class everyone has to speak English, so that is my second favourtie class. Music is my first, which by the way I got transferred into (thank goodness).  
Sad news: Because I have to take german lessons until 7:30 at night and it takes 30 minutes to train back to Bad Oldesloe I will not be able to play volleyball for four weeks. It is saddening. I only have gym class once a week as well. 
On friday in gym class we did parkour (For anyone who doesn't know what it is, I would highly suggest looking it up on youtube or something). It was so hard! So much for normal gym classes. And the explanation from someone was that it was like baseball. At the end of class I was thinking.. "ya just like baseball" -_- 
I have made many friends. I can go talk to everyone and everyone will talk to me. It's really fun. On saturday my friend Alex and I are going to Hamburg for shopping! =) I am so excited. 
Last saturday Heike and Reiner had their 25th wedding anniversary. It was fun and they were up until the sun was rising. That's INSANE! One person came and made fresh shrimp. It was DELICIOUS. I could of ate all the shrimp he brought by myself. 
Last thursday I went to my first Rotary Meeting. It was fun. The food was delicious and everyone there was very friendly. =) 

HI! so my first day of school was today. It was really good I made lots of new friends! I figured out that students dont go to the teachers, the teachers go to you , except for a few classes that need certain things. The people all speak english , some better than others. Everyone is friendly. Some of the people were joking in one of our classes. The teacher asked a question and they would answer in english so I would understand as well then everyone would look at me and I would do thumbs up and smile. It was awesome. I have the same classes with all of the same people. it's so crazy. I kept asking people "we are in this classroom together next block!?!??!" Sadly though I am not in any music courses, but I plan on going to talk to the course organizer sometime and ask if I may be switched. Because currently I am in art...which is not my forté unless stick figures are suddenly A+ material.

I WENT TO A VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE TODAY! just saying! 2 hours of hardocre volleyball. I was playing volleyball in german!I have practive 3 times a week for two hours each. Starting at 6pm on Mondays and Thursdays going until 8pm, then again on friday at 6:30pm going until 8:30pm. CRAZY!

Today we (Lotta and I) went to a theme park. Uhm I can not recall the name right now but it was something german. It was really fun =P Enough said. ;)

Yesterday I went to my school and found out my courses. I have german, english, physics ,spanish, history, geography, math, chemistry, music, gym...I don't know, some other ones as while. 

Then at night we went to Hamburg and we ate dinner at a portugese/spanish place. It was delicious. After dinner we went to an old fire rescue ship and had hot chocolate. 

  

I took the train today. Its sooooooo smooth. WAY BETTER THAN THE BUS. You can hardly tell you are moving unless you look outside the window. 

Charlotte and I went to Lübeck today. It is a gorgeous town. There were lots of old buildings to look at.  

Yesterday, there was a barbecue at our neighbours house and we had Bratworst (I don't know how to spell that) and beer. I had my first taste of German beer. Only a sip. It was alright. Lime and Mint flavoured. I can't say I want to have anymore. =P

I can't wait for school to start and to meet more people. 

Tomorrow I believe we are going to see my school and get a train pass, as well as some other things that I can't remember. Then on Freitag (friday ,hehe my german) we are going to a small amusement park. Can't wait =)
