The redhead has things to say.

But first: Happy June! and Happy Father's Day!
I shall be calling my father later tonight. (I wrote it on my arm so that I DO NOT forget.)
Today I awoke at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and had to rub my eyes a few times before I was convinced that I hadn't read the time wrong. I had been sleeping for 12 hours! I had no idea how I could have possibly done that, but I got up and changed and ate brunch, finding out that my host family were a little worried about me and how long I slept. But I'm fine, just tired.
Since this morning I think I have discovered why I slept so incredibly long this morning. It starts with a strange victory of yesterday that sent my goody-two-shoes, american concious into a perfuse sweat: I bought my very first beer in a super market. Alone and with my one money--and I was so proud of myself.
I bought two Beck lemon and lime beers to bring with me to a little grill party that our class was having at the YMCA center (here YMCA is a different bunch of four letters but I forget what they are: anyway, you get the point.). So I brought them with as well as much appreciated marshmallows (because what is a fire without smores?) and a few Rotwurst for myself. It was quite a nice evening, just sitting, talking, laughing. We ate cookies and played on the nearby playground a little to, because, let's face it, Swings are the BOMB.
We also started telling riddles at one point starting with this one which I will write in German and English because in German it sounds a little better:

Der blaue Punkt geht ins Wasser, der grüne Punkt geht in der Wiese, der rote Punkt geht ins Feuer. Wo geht der gelbe Punkt?
The blue dot goes in Water, the green dot goes in the grass field, the red dot goes in the fire. Where does the yellow dot go?
After a rather long time contemplating it in actually seriousness no one knew andwe asked our friend who told us to give us the answer. And he refused, something that made this particular riddle a Plague of the evening consuming almost everyone's thoughts. So we tried to distracted ourselves, we played other games like 20 questions, we ate the marshmallows. Eventually we started playing campfire songs which reminded me horribly of home but also reminded me how awesome my friends and my experiences are here. But finally the yellow dot was getting to be quite annoying because no one could solve it and noone would give the answer. We went on likethis for an hour until we decided to leave and were all quite annoyed that the answer was "Der gelbe Punkt geht auf die Nerven" (The yellow dot gets on your nerves.).
During the course of this nice little get together I managed to drink both beers, because I was thirsty and they were good, but I showed really no sign of it, because I ate things in between and drank them sparingly (as they were the only drinks I had with) the only sign of me drinking them at all were the empty bottles and, I suspect, my 12 hour sleep.
In other news we started reading "the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon in English and I think it is a fantastic book. If you havenot read it yet, I would highly reccomend it.
Anyway, thanks for reading and subscribing! Keep a smile on (:
