My last post :(

I can't wait to see everyone but I am so sad to leave!! My host family is incredible and all of us students have gotten really close! But today was an awesome last day! I got an A in my conversation class!!  I had some type of spaghetti for lunch and was sooo good! Then my whole family went zip lining and climbing! It's called klettern here but I don't really think we have the same thing in America?! You were just connected to a cable and walked across beams, ropes, obstacles and then you would always zip line at the end of each course! It was so much fun...I was so scared but it was that good, scared feeling! Full of adrenaline and so fun with my fam! We did that for about 3 hours then we went to a biergarten to eat and  talk. The weather the past few days has been perfect...a little hot when I try to sleep...but during the day blue sky! We walked around the town after we ate, not sure where we were though....we drove about 30 minutes. 

We got home just about an hour and a half ago....so I had to say bye to my two oldest guest sisters because they go to school really early! I hate saying bye, especially after Ive had such an awesome time. They also got me a good bye present...a bavarian apron to go with my cookbook, a sign to hang in my new apt and they wrote the nicest card ever! In the morning I have to say bye to Eva...I will miss her bad, little whiny self sooo much! So this summer has been wonderful and one I will never forget! 

But now I can look forward to seeing you all...this time tomorrow I will almost be in cinci! liebe dich und sehen uns morgen!

Ganz gute Tagen!

Ok now a happy post!! The past two days were awesome! Monday I had my final in my grammar class...it was only over our vocab notebooks so it wasn't bad. After class I came home for lunch and then met Stephanie around 2.30 to go to Dachau the concentration camp. You have to switch S-bahn trains and then take a bus once you get into to town of Dachau. It took about an hour....so we get off the bus, walk past the info center to the gates and it's closed!!!!!!! Its closed every monday! I felt so stupid because I had looked at their webpage to see what trains/buses we needed! But there were signs outside the gate describing the SS buildings so it wasn't a total failure! In the Dachau train station we saw a sign for Subway and Steph wanted bacon real bad! We thought it was in the station but we go and it wasnt! It was about 3 bus stops away....we spent about 30 mins trying to figure out which bus took us there, which we never did! Now I was like oh there's one in the Munich train station! We get on the train and go to Munich and couldnt find it! So we ask someone working in the dept store....and there is not a subway there! By this time we were hungry and bacon sounded real good!! Now we had to take the train 4 more stops and the subway would be right there. Ok we get there and it takes about 20 mins of walking around until we see it! Yay finally!!! And it was sooo good...we both got extra bacon and loved it! We made friends with the guy that worked there so he was asking where we learned german, about our summer and where we leaved. He then told us the biggest subway IS in the munich station! Schade!   After 4 hours of searching we found it and found out it couldve only taken 2 hours!  ;)

Long story but it was so silly! Monday night I went to Jessie's house with Steph to study for our culture final. We stayed there until 1 and when we walked back it was so cold!!  But tuesday was our final and it went ok! I didn't know a few of the matching names and dates but oh well it is over!!!! That class was not too much fun! After class some of us went to the new ice cream parlor since it was about 92 degrees!! Then I went to the supermarkt to load up on lots of maoams and choc to bring home!!!!! Yay yay maoams! I went with Hans, Julia and Eva to the lake to lay out...but we only stayed a little while since last night was the final/goodbye party. The party was sad and fun...they had a buffet, each class put on a skit and then dr weber talked forever!! I just realized how awesome my guest fam really is! After the party most of the students, including me went to Groebenzell one last time! Sooo much fun!

Now Im supposed to be cleaning my room...oopps! Then Im going to school for the very last time  :(   We have to turn in our german cell phones and work out all of flight details because I will be home TOMORROW!!!  I am really excited to see you all....the first thing I'm doing is taking a drive, singing real loud and getting a huge mt dew! But I am very sad to leave...my fam, the other students, germany are all so awesome. My host mom said I can come visit and stay here whenever and bring my friends! 

Love you all and I will be back tomorrow around 8.30pm so I better see all of you SOON!  

Ganz schlechtes Wochenende :( :(

Ok I'm not gonna go into too much detail....that is how bad it sucks! This weekend was terrible...I don't even have words to say how bad it was! But on friday, I got to the airport and on my plane fine! It was only 55 minutes but when we were landing there were a lot of dark clouds so it was very very bumpy! So scary! 

Then he was waiting on me and he came over a hugged me! Then we went to his apartment and just watched tv. It just felt so weird. He slept almost all day saturday, then we walked around the city a little. He got mad cause I didnt research about Bremen! He didnt talk to me for like 5 mins! Then we sat by the river and talked about school and jobs....where he then told me I was lazy and a typical american since I dont know exactly what I want to do! He said I have to have some interest in at least one thing and that I was not lazy for having internships! I dont know what was going on but I did not visit the person I was expecting too! Saturday night we watched his end of school video that his friend made. Then he went to bed!!

Sunday he woke up late again and he drove me to where he works at the shipyard. We walked around and sat by another river. Then he said we need to get back so you can pack up your things. It only took me 5 mins cause I hadn't really used anything since I just sat there all weekend! We had an hour before I needed to be at the airport so he rolls over to the couch on a computer chair and goes off on me!!! He said I wasnt excited to be there, he doesnt know why I came, I didnt show any interest in the city, Im lazy and will end up staying in Maysville, getting fat like everyone else. He said I showed no emotions so then I just started crying!!! I have no idea where this came from! And now Im not really sad...Im just so mad that he treated me like that since I have done everything for him even though we live thousands of miles apart! He was sooo rude and mean and just evil! Not the phil I was excited to see! So I told him I wanted to go to the airport...I would wait there instead! So he took me and I was crying the whole time, crying at my gate and during my flight! I was so upset that the check-in lady spoke german to me and she asked window or aisle seat...and I said tv! Im almost glad cause I can finally be completely done with philipp...I already sent him a goodbye email...its not worth it! Im not wasting my time anymore...Im too lazy to write anymore emails!  ;)

And to make it even better my flight home was late and when we got to munich there were too many planes to land so we had to fly around the airport for about 15 mins! Then the train home takes an hour...so it was late and I had forgotten my key! So I texted my fam and they came to pick me up at the station in esting so I didnt have to walk with all of my stuff so late! 

horrible weekend...Im trying to quickly forget it!

Yay...blogging about the actual day!

Today was finally sooooo beautiful!!! When I woke up it was raining but by the time school was over it was blue sky with zero clouds!!!! It was about 85 which is a little warm but I will take it....it was awesome! And good thing we had nice weather because we went to my teachers house for lunch. It was a typical bavarian meal...Leberkaese, potato salad and pretzels. Sehr lecker [very yummy]  After lunch all the conversation people had to stay to watch the movie, Goodbye, Lenin! It was hard to stay in and watch a movie but it's a good one so that made it easier.

I got back to my house around 4.30 and Eva was sick. She had thrown up. Poor thing looked terrible! I then went to a lake to swim with Hans, Julia and Leoni. I had not been to this lake and it was soooo much prettier than the Olchinger See, where we usually go. It was so clean that you could see your feet and there was much more grass to lay out on! We layed out, got in the water, ate ice cream and then came home around 7.30. Christine was working so Hans made dinner...sunny-side up eggs and salad. Odd for bavaria?!

Now I just got done packing...so Im gonna study for my irregular verbs test tomorrow and go to sleep soon! I have to get up early, go to school and then catch my flight! Hans told me exactly where Lufthansa check-in is so Im not too worried about getting there on time anymore! I'm so excited to see Phil and Im also very excited to see you all...I'll be almost home this time in 7 days!

Loooovvvvveeeee yyyooouuuu!

still behind...

Ok I am doing my best and I'm not gonna have time to post my Berlin pics...but they're on facebook and if you don't have facebook I will gladly show you in person!! In only 8 days!

Well yesterday was a good day! Class and then lunch...white rice with sauce and meat and of course cucumbers with some type of dressing! I have so much homework due that I came upstairs and started to work on finishing my vocab notebooks...well an hour later I woke up! I fell asleep sitting up!! Im starting to get exhausted but I don't want to sleep...I want to see everything before Im out of time. Once I woke up I heard Eva outside playing so I went out and sat on the bench with Christine. Eva had to pee so Christine just told her to go by the tree!! The bathroom is only up a few steps so I don't understand the whole peeing outside deal! Oh well...we all stayed outside until about 5 and then I came in because it was sooo humid! At 7.30 we had to go to Stammtisch in Olching...just a gathering. Hans and I walked since Im afraid of my bike now...it was only a 20 min walk. Christine had to dry her hair so she met us there with her bike! It was a lot of fun...most all of the students were there with their fams so we talked and ate very good pizza. We stayed until about 11 so we walked home and I went to bed...I had the get up extra early today!

Today, Wed 15...all of the students plus the 8 from germany 1 went to visit King Ludwig's castles. We left at 8 and had a two hour drive on a bus. We went to Neuschwanstein first...it was up a little mtn and was the castle that Disney copied to design Cinderella's castle. It is not finished but we got to see 15 rooms...a little disappointing because it is huge from the outside...and the tour only lasted 15 min! But there was a bridge nearby that he had built for hi girlfriend. It was really high and narrow but it was a gorgeous view of the castle, mtns and the valley. After that we drove about 45 mins to his hunting castle. We didn't know we were going there too so we were all out of cash and they weren't any atms. So we all just got ice cream and sat outside! The bus ride home lasted forever!! We had to stop about  times because people needed to potty! We finally got back to esting around 7.30 but both of my guest parents are working so my house was silent. I just took a shower and wrote my last journals/essays due tomorrow! We did a lot today...it doesnt really sound like it but we walked a ton and saw a lot of very old things! Tomorrow the conversation professor is cooking us a typical bavarian meal! yikes...

But Ill be home one week from tomorrow! I love it here but I miss you all and love you too!
