Tomorrow is the Day!

             Hello all! (:

   So tomorrow I am on the train to my host family. Camp has gone by so quickly.. I can hardly believe it! In words that I heard at GHP, "The days feel like weeks, but the weeks feel like days..". This totally applies to camp here! 

   

    So I don't want to give too much away about the actual camp, but it's been really fun. We talk a lot about adjusting and learning how we react to certain situations. Honestly, it has been really helpful to see where I stand in terms of my reation to awkward or uncomfortable situations.

   About homesickness: I haven't had any yet really since it still feels really American here. I spend all day with mostly Americans, speak mostly English, and have the meetings in English. But I have started to miss people back home. It hasn't been hindering my ability to soak up Germany and my other experiences here.

   My group and I have been walking into town a good bit. I feel like my calves are going to be rock hard by the end of the year! One day, I even walked up and down the mountain twice. Once for class to ask the locals about Gesellschaftspiele (multiplayer games), then later to meet the mayor of Bad Laasphe. That trip was really really cool! They gave a cute little powerpoint about the town and then we all sat and had a coke and talked to him . He is a really really neat guy!

    In my last small group meeting yesterday, we learned how to fold paper boats with our feet! I am so excited! I've made like two since the meeting! I will definitly have to show all my new German friends, since THAT is why German's talk to Americans!

   Also, I would like to apologize now. My SD card for my camera broke so I only have a couple pictures for this post, but I will be buying a new one as soon as I am at my host family. So, more pictures to come!
