I just wanted to post a few photos so this is going to be a quick one. On the weekend I was on a Rotex exchange students weekend. We were in Marburg, so all three pictures that I've uploaded are from that weekend. We met the January inbounds a ton more Brasiliens and a couple other people from a few other countries (ie. Australia, New Zealand, etc.)
I recieved some nice pins and the food at the hostel was a bit better than some of the other hostel food we've eaten. The showers were another story...there were three of them, but there were no curtains. Yup, seriously. You probably don't want to know this, but most of us when on shower strikes, BUT it was only a weekend so it wasn't a big deal.
We went on a scavenger hunt to get to know the city on Valentine's Day. It was pretty cold, but we were all over the place so I was able to take a few pictures. Like the ones I am posting now. 
I bet you thought Spiderman didn't exist. HAHA guess again, he's living in Marburg.
I handed in my wicked new art project. Note the word wicked. I am sooo proud of it. I put the final touches on it at school and I didn't have my camera with me, so I will post photos when I get it back. It turned out well, I think. You can think what ever you want, but I am super proud. I love art class.
We've hit crunch time for Drama. Our first performance is 3 weeks today. SO INTENSE. We definetly aren't quite ready yet, but I think we'll be ready by then. I'm really proud about how it's come together. It's going to be so cool. =) Although, the patients' costumes (I'm one of the patients) are hideous. Hahaha they are these green old school sweatshirts and sweat pants. Oh did I mention they are huge and MINT green? Haha although I think they really pass.
We're still playing Handball in Gym class. Although luckily this week we didn't play with the advanced Sport Class who completely destroyed our normal class a few weeks ago. Haha that was pretty funny.
Oh I don't think I've mentioned that there is a chance for our Drama group to participate in a showcase of High School Theatre. It's not for sure yet, someone will come and look at our play and then they will decided. Only 12 plays out of our entire province of Hessen will go. I hope we are one of them!
School is pretty much the same. I move next weekend to my 3rd host family. So please send me good vibes. That's one of the hardest things for an exchange student I think, moving. I'm really going to miss this family and I know I'll cry when I leave, but I knew when I came in November I'd have to leave and I knew that I'd have more than one host family when I signed up for this. It's going to be super weird though. I've become really comfortable here.
I also have my place reserved for my Euro Tour. Sweet eh? I am so excited. Although there weren't enough places and some people didn't sign up right away so they can't go on our Euro Tour. That's really too bad, but they might be able to go with another group.
There has been more snow here in Rotenburg an der Fulda for as long as people can remember. Apparently I brought it in my suitcase. Haha. Although I think Renato, the other exchange student here from Brazil, should have brought the sun with him. For the past two days the sky was blue. It was so beautiful. It's back to grey again, but those two days were wonderful.
Well I think that's all I have to report. I'll make sure to get another entry in before I move next weekend. Take care! OHHH and my guest family and I might make smores this weekend. I am sooo excited. =) Miss you.

Can't wait for the pictures of your art project. You've really marketed it well!
Received your parcel in the mail last night. Love the Klimt print and are eagerly pouring over the book. The chocolate ... is being rationed ... TEE HEE
Good luck with the drama production. We will keep our fingers crossed that your play will be entered in the regionals.
Mrm
