What happened since last thursday?
I went to Ludwigsburg! (That place with the freakin' huge garden.)
Twas quite fun with my host mom and the babykins. We went to the garden there first and stayed to look around. They had creative entirely pumpkin- and gord-carved masterpeices and huge scultures made of pumpkins for fall. Then we went into Märchenland. For those who do not know what the heck that is it is basically an old Fairy tale land that takes all the Brother's Grimm fairy tales and other popular ones and brings them alive in little mechanical displays that kids go nuts over. It was cute. I really can't wait until next year when my nephew comes over because he might beable to actually enjoy it.
Sunday we hung out and did nothing of great significance besides watching Tatort.
Monday I had my first English Vocabulary test, which I am sad to report I got stumped on two questions with. I couldn't think of a great synonym for "to try very hard" so I just put "attempt with great determination", which isn't wrong but I'm sure isn't what everyone else put down.
After school we had soccer practice, where we ran alot and on our water breaks belted dumb pop songs at the top of our lungs so everyone stared.
Today, I was almost late to school, because my bike broke five minutes before I was supposed to be there and my hair looked like I had recently been in a wind storm at sea.
By the end of the day everything was cool though. I volunteered for the first time in my bio class, fixed my bike, and had a very yummy supper. As we explained to my host dad about the Visa (we were speaking in English) he said,"Why did they say we can't keep you?" which made me sound like a lost puppy they were hoping to keep and made me laugh.
Babysitting and math homework!
