I wonder why? Oh right, because today, I am going to, for the first time, meet a lot of people my own age and become fastened into a society of co-existence with them. I am starting soccer practice today. I will have it mondays and wednesdays for the rest of the summer and hopefully it goes well.
I looked up quite a few words for soccer things so that I might possibly understand my coach, but today I have been understanding things decently well. We went shopping for a little to buy me new Goalie gloves and a pair of sneakers because I have no footwear for athletic activity what so ever. My parents have sent my soccer things but they are not here yet so i must make do with what I have.
Besides my impending social immurgence into teenage land... I'm pretty good.
This morning we had rolls and pretzels with cheese or meat or fruit spread and my host mother was quite disgusted when I decided to try putting raspberry jam on my pretzel. It was very funny. I didn't mean to disgust anyone, I just never have pretzels for breakfast, so what should I put on it. And though I resolved that perhaps I shouldn't do something like that in public, it did taste pretty good.
After breakfast I watched "Juno" in German which I wanted to see mainly because I wanted to know how theytranslated things like,"Jeeze Banana, shut you're freakin' gob, okay?". And it was also good since yesterday around the same time we left for a very long hike to an old castle ruin and a waterfall, and it was very good to rest and do something less involved.
Yesterday we also kept the German sunday night tradition of watching "Tatort". "Tatort" is a german murder mystery show like CSI except for it is only in German and has a rotation of detectives from different parts of Germany. Yesterday they spoke in Hoch Deutsch but the week before they spoke a special dialect and not even my host parents could understand it all completely without subtitles. It was crazy dramatic last night though because in the end like almost every character died except for the inspectors and the killer commited suicide. It was yucky.
i hope this post makes sense, if it doesn't I'm sorry, it kind of has no time order what soever, it goes all over the place. But I miss home! Hope the weather is nice there, it is here!
