Going Old School!

LOL isn't this completely AWESOME! So on Friday I went to another birthday party and the theme was to dress older. There were some pretty cool costumes, but I have to say I really liked mine! Katrin helped me. She looked in their attic for things I could use. Excellent eh? The party was pretty fun. People were dressed pretty outrageously, not everyone, but a lot of people. More girls did this than guys.

It was a birthday for 3 girls. I only knew one, but the other two girls were quite nice and thrilled to get a present from Canada. I also met a guy there who had been on an exchange in Australia for one year. So we talked about exchanges, Canada, and Australia.

I think now in half German half English and sometimes dream in half English and half German. I haven't had a totally German dream yet. He said that it was the same way with him. You'd think we would have spoke English, but we didn't only German. People are impressed with how much I've learned. I'm no where near perfect and I have a lot of work to do, but I really appreciate when someone says that and means it.

There were a lot of people there and a few girls that were 2 years younger than me actually in Theresa's sisters class came up and talked to me for most of the evening. They wanted to know this and that about Canada and of course I was happy to talk to about it. So Friday night was quite nice.

Then I slept in ridiculously long on Saturday even though I hadn't really been out late. Some friends of the Wagner's came over and we talked for awhile. I was thrilled with how I could actually keep up with the conversation even though they were speaking about a million miles a minute. Progress! BAH I love it! I also had a nice talk with Katrin over tea and cake. Then all of us watched Snow Dogs on TV. Fun stuff! The dogs are so cute!

Poor Eberhard has been on call this week and he was in the clinic for a good part of the early morning and then came home for a little while and was called back again. I felt really bad for him. Luckily last night he actually got a full nights rest, although he was called in again at around 10 and isn't back yet.

I also had a couple of Drama practices this week. Things are going pretty well, but I can't believe we are going to be taking a break for 2 weeks about 2 weeks before our first performance! AHHHH that is a bit stressful. We have an extra long weekend this weekend so we have Monday and Tuesday off of school, but I'll be at school on Monday from 10-6 practicing Drama. He said that we are going to start putting it together now that we've made all of the scenes separately. So that's good.

We also started to watch a really interesting TV Series about a group of kids who are living in the American Sector of Berlin when it was divided. It is really really good. So we watched the first of three parts on Thursday. I can't wait to see the next one. It is so interesting. Also, as we are watching it Katrin and Eberhard can tell me more information about what life was like then. It's really quite facinating. I'm going to try to buy a copy, but so far I am having trouble finding it.

We're also starting to develop ideas for a new Art Project. We need to use photos and with what ever we do we need to express who we are. I think I have a pretty good idea. So I'll pick up some supplies this week and we'll start up on Thursday. COOL eh? I am super excited about that.

So that's all my news. OH YA and it snowed again today. Crazy...we didn't think we would get any more snow. It's not a lot, but it is snow. Take care reader.
