The Big Move

Hello from grey Germany! I don't think I've ever mentioned this before, but when you watch the news here in Germany and the weather report comes on Germany is always covered in grey. I mean literally covered. Somedays there is a bit of green peaking through. Hahaha well I thought it was funny.

Life has been fairly normal lately. Although last weekend was really great. I helped sell cake at Johannes' school on Saturday. It was a school show case day, so I helped out with Katrin. That was really fun. All of the ladies with us were really great and I had a great time. The two English teachers who I had come into their classes for a day came up to me and chatted me up for awhile. They told me how appreciative they had been and how amazed they are with my German. Things like that. So I was over the moon happy and I really appreciated what they said.

I had also visited Johannes' Chemistry class on one of the days I was there. I saw his Chemistry teacher and she told me that I needed to come with her to see what her class had done for this school show case day. They had made home made icecream. It was soooo cool. I recieved a photocopy of the recipe, so I am definetly making some when I get home. YUM.

It was a wonderful day.

This week was pretty much the same as usual more school, more German learning by myself and with my course, and Drama. Our first performance is on March Friday the 13th. Yes way! We still have a bit of work to do, but it's really coming together. I saw the posters yesterday. They are sooo awesome. I will take a picture of the one I brought home and post it on the blog.

Ummm other than that I have been packing for "the big move" which will take place on Sunday. It hasn't really set in yet, but I'll manage. It's a strange feeling saying Goodbye.

OH and this week I made major progress with understanding the cases in German. I still can't use them in speech and I am just starting to grasp how to form and write sentences using the different cases. It's a great feeling because I have been so confused about how they work. So slowly, but surely I am going to work on this foundation.

That's about all I have to report. So I'm going to wrap this up. I'm finding it difficult to write in English. My head will even start to ache when I talk with my parents and sister for a few hours. Don't worry I'll keep posting! I don't know what my access to internet will be like in the next host family, so I don't know when I'll be writing next, but I imagine that it's no problem and you'll hear from me next week sometime.

Take care reader. Ich denke an dich.
