Woah. Go people. it's nice to see in the stats how many views I have each day, but I would surely enjoy comments and feedback when anybody feels like it....
But aside from blog craziness, I had a week of craziness. Well, not really, it was pretty typical apart from it being the week of my Libra Gastfamilievater's Geburtstag (My host family dad's birthday, yo!). So, the most important adventures of the week included cookies, cake, chocolate, and Schnittzel eating! Some of the less pleasurable adventures, however, are brand new additions to our favorite series,"The redhead is the clumsiest person on the face of the earth." In this addition we will visit the notion of how a person could possibly accidentally drop their toothbrush in the toillet while in the midst of brushing their teeth. And how someone can get a flat tire on their bicycle by no apparent means.
Let start from the beginning. this week was pretty awesome as far as school, I understand my math class on a regular basis now, and because of that it has certaining become my favorite class. My other elected favorites at this point are Politik and Physik. I know, your thinking, "Politik? Wouldn't that be really hard with all the big German words and slightly different Democratic Socialist government?" And I would say,"Why, yes, however, I have the most fantastic Politik teacher who can speaks German the entire class, but will translate crazy big complicated words for me so that I understand and explains differences between American government and German government when they arise. Plus she can keep the entire class actually quiet. A quiet class at perfect attention here is quite a feat. Physik, I like because last year in German class we did this awesome thing where we studied what we were doing in Physical Science in German class so, not only do I know basically everything we're doing, I also know all the german words for those things! 50 gold stars for Herr Wert yo!
Tuesday, I got to skype chat with my two sisters, my nephew, and then later on in the evening, my mommy and daddy! That was great! I loved seeing their faces and hearing their voices together like they were there. However, I certainly felt the distance between us as my nephew jumped up and down and screamed in joy and asked if I could read him a book. I certainly made me cry. We used to read books over and over again, with him sitting on my lap and one day, he won't fit anymore. One day he won't want to read books anymore and I'm missing a whole year of it.
Wednesday, was my host family dad's birthday as I disclosed before. I was also the day I rode my bike to school, like every other day, but found on my return trip that I had to walk because I had a flat tire. How, may you ask, did I get a flat tire? I have no freaking clue. But then I got home, ate lunch, did homework, and we were off to Onkel Otto's Schnittzel joint. (Which is supposedly the home of the best schnittzel around.) We got lost and the baby was angry and screamed the entire way, but it made the schnittzel taste that much better once we got there, as the baby slept. And to top it all, after all our eating, as I finished brushing my teeth and went to go rinse my mouth out, I thought I had placed my toothbrush on the ledge above the sink, but instead as I stooped to cup water to my mouth, I heard an ominous sliding, clattering, and plunk. And found as I looked up with my shining clean fresh mouth, that my toothbrush was currently taking a bath in the toilet. Awesome. And it's another ten from the judges!
Luckily, my gastfamilie had an extra toothbrush. Today, has been pretty awesome so farsince I slept ten hours, woke and ate amazing jam for breakfast and now I'm talking to you lovely people. First soccer game I play in today! Hope it doesn't freakin' rain!
This week, in class, we discussed the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. It was quite interesting to hear different opinions. The students then wrote about it. Even more interesting to read what they think. I for sure missed you in classes this week, as you would have had a lot to say. I wonder what class you would be in...! I have 5 sections. They are all so entirely different because of the students in them, and it has been a unique experience. I also have 2 sections of Spanish this year. Meep.
