yes yes i know it has been a while but i have been very busy. i will start posting more frequently becuase i should.
well the news is that im loving germany. everything is changing because im starting to understand more german. now i can barely speak it but i am learning. my friend from brazil manuela is acutally speaking a full conversation. yes i am jealous but im thinking in a month or two i will be just like her.
school is such a pain sometimes. my teachers are great except for my english teacher. my favorite teacher is my biology/ chemistry teacher. he is awesome. even though i dont understand anything he is very funny. back to my englsih teacher, she is a quack. she got mad at me for writing mom instead of mum. and then she had the nerve to say that i dont know my american war history. hello rotc for four years. what do you think we learn besides drill and pt. my class teacher is cool but very strict. if a kid shows up late by a minute he counts up the minutes and when they equal 30 to 40 mins you have to stay for an extra lesson. i havent been late so it is ok. and for school if you are in 11th grade, which i am, you have to do a thing called praktikum. it is basically a two week internship and then you have to write about it. it is for government class. i am working for 1a koegel and team. it is an auto repair shop that specializes in electronics like bosch systems. i mostly do winter tire changes which arent hard. i learned how to balance tires too. they reason mercedes wants you to bring your cars to them for repair is because they are so imposible to work on. its complicated work with those cars. i have helped change a part inside the door because the window fell down. it was a pain but i learned alot. i would prefer to be a person who installs things like turbo chargers and what not then be a repair guy. crazy fun though. all the people are great. micheal is nuts and funny. ramesees (i think that is how you spell his name) is great. he introduced me to his dog lola. and then thomas hedwig and he is my teacher. the owner which is koegel is great too. he let me work there. there are teaching me german along with german for the auto parts. ohh yeah and i am taking theater i know haha.
so big news the 23rd was my host moms birthday. i didnt ask how she was because that is rude. so saturday the 1st of november we are having a little get together with her family. i was also with them in borkum which is an island a part of germany. really cold and windy but great. stupid people with little body suits on were strapping them selves to a giant kite and going on a board out into the north sea. i want to do it haha. it would be crazy fun.
before i went there i went to gouda, holland to sea where my dad was born. for those of you who dont know about gouda then go to wal mart and look for gouda cheese. it is the best cheese in the world. trust me. it is the best cheese. well it is made there. and everywhere they have giant cheese wheels haha. this is the hospital my dad was born in.
and this is the city house which is beautiful.
at the moment i will have to finish later because i am about to leave. there will be more dont worry. i will now post like every other day.
