Moin Y'all!
So another couple of weeks have come and gone. I figured you all would like a little update. Nothing too long, but a little something to help the craving.
Something really cool that a local youth group does every year is the "Tannenbaumaktion". Basically, we make small groups and go around the county collecting the Christmas Trees for donations for the youth group. What do we do with the Christmas trees? The local farmers get their tractors and tailors, pick them up, and bring them to my family's corn acre. Why? Osterfeuer (Easter Fire). I'm not entirely sure what that includes yet, but I'll let you all know! So basically we have a whole bunch of old Christmas trees sitting on our acre. Ich finde das irgendwie voll lustig.
The next day, my host brother and I decided it would be a good idea to draw a remote control car race track on the Hof. So, we threw on our jackets, took the chalk and made a race track. However, the batteries didn't last very long so we went to charge them and somehow (really, I have no idea how) my brother decided we were going to build a headlight and taillight system for the one car. So, we pulled out the solding iron (yes, he has his own), the wires, the lights and all that other lovely stuff and began to build a lighting system! We needed a couple more parts so it turned into a multiple day project.
A friend of mine here did an exchange year in Indiana last year. She decided that she wants to go back to do her IB at her school from last year. She decided this all within 8 days. She set up all of her visa stuff, paperwork and whatever else she needed. So best of luck to her and I know she is going to kill it! So during her last English lesson we watched a movie on American Immigration (since we are starting America anyway) and my teacher really wanted her to talk about her "American Dream" and how Europe has lost many of "her children" to America for work and school. It was a little awkward, but I know she didn't mean any harm. Just funny how she run the English class.
Yesterday, my brother and I decided out of nowhere, Hey, Let's make a hazelnut cake! So what did we do? We made a hazelnut cake. And holy moly did it taste awesome! But, the type of dough it is made of can't be made back home because we don't have Quark.. But hey, all the more reason to eat all the yummy food now and not freak about my weight (within reason of course!).
So yes, that's about how my life is going about now. Next week is the Midyear seminar with the program and I'll let you all know how that goes. I send the best of vibes to everyone out there!
Und ich glaube, ich werde nächstes Mal auf Englisch und auf Deutsch schreiben. Also könnt ihr euch entscheiden, ob ihr lieber auf Deutsch oder auf Englisch lest. (:
Der schmeckt nach Liebe! It tastes like love!
Lecker! Yummy!
"Weißt du was Spaß macht? Dich abzuschießen! KABOOM!" "Danke.." Wir macht ehrlich nur Unsinn! You know what's fun? Shooting you! KABOOM! Thanks.. Really, all we do is goof off XD
Scheiße! Der ist gerissen.. Egal, schmeckt ja nicht anders. (: Crap! It ripped! Whatever, it won't taste any different!
Über die Brücke! Over the bridge!
