The 1st week

(Thanks for the comment mother....)

Okay so this week I didn't start class until Wed. and it was only 3 hours long. Once class got down we would have about an hour for lunch and then sometimes go on a tour if there wasn't any tour we would just wonder around Bonn chilln with our duners (sp) there like subs and our fanta soad's which are really good over here. Most of the time we spend back in the AIB if it rained. They don't kick us out until like 7pm or sometimes later it all depends on how soon the person that has to lock up wants to leave.

Friday was the welcoming party which had all the people who ran the AIB and the students who were in the program with their host parents to come. It was very croweded and my host parents played there. Some how we ended up playing musical chairs it was mainly my group, nina, and 3 other host siblings. The last 2 people were David and R Kelly. Of course it was extreme and very funny to watch R Kelly end up winning the game.

On Saturday we decided to celebrate Austin's b-day even though he didn't turn 19 until tomorrow. We went to his host parents house and had supper which was really good all veggie meal. While we were waiting for time to pass we told stories of our past; kelesy, lindsay, and myself ended up giving people massages I didn't mind because it's fun when your bored. When 9pm rolled on by we headed off to the train station to head back to Bonn as we were going to go clubbing in our large group and had to split up so it didn't look suspicous that a bunch of americans want to go to the same club. Most of us got in before 11pm and didn't have to worry about paying. They played a lot of american songs, some techno, and german rap. At one point there I think a German drinking song that everyone including us Americans sang even though we had no idea what we were singing it was fun. We left around 2am to head back home.

As we waited for the train, David, Alex, and myself we realized we were on the wrong platform and had to wait another hour for the next train to arrive to bring us home. We all got home safely tired, but safe. I never realized how exhausting dancing for 3 hours long. Of course my legs are getting a good work out from walking every where and at times running to catch a train. The calves are showing some improvment getting strong.

Today I slept in until 1pm and got up to eat lunch with my family. Oma, and the eldest daughter came over to join us. Since it was the eldest birthday a couple days ago. It was interesting to meet them and hear an old person speak german. A couple hours later Ralf took me and Nina out to eat we got pizza. After that Nina and I headed to Bonn to meet up with some people in our group to watch an orchestra. They played The Planet's all of them exculding Mecury, Earth, and Pluto. It was good, because I remember that my band in high school had played Mars and Jupitar at one point of my high school career.

That's pretty much what happened this week/weekend. Oh it did rain every day it was nice at times and other times it was just really annoying. Tomorrow it shouldn't rain it's supposed to be sunny out. Hopefully it will be nice but not to warm as I still don't have my shorts, or capris to wear.

Night,
