Yesterday was Marivis birthday party. She comes from Mexico City and she plays the guitar beautifully (i think). I walked to the bus station around 10:30, but missed my bus by 2 minutes. I swear my calf muscles are going to be huge, climbing and walking up all these steep hills. So, I walked back and sat around a while, in the warm house. I took the next hour bus, and made it. Then sat on the train and went to Dallikon. I listened to my ipod, and spaced out. I do that a lot on the train, spacing out. And watch Switzerland pass by me while staring out the window. Train rides are so peaceful, and the swiss are so very quiet :)
While I got there, I was greeted by a huge hug from Marivi. Gah I love that girl, not only because of that but whenever I am with her we speak only in German. She helps me a lot and is patient with me. So, I got there, and said a lot of Hoyyyy! . Ich bin Joelle. Ich komme aus Amerika. Ich bin 17 jahre alt, ja, ich bin ein Austauschstudentin auch. Und viele viele andere things.
So, I had so much pumpkin soup!!! and kuchen!! (cakes). andddddd bread of course. I was there for 4 hours. Speaking to people I just met, and speaking only German. It made me happy.
When the time came, I had to leave. Marivi walked me to the bus, and we listened to Jack Johnson along the way.. while we fought the cold weather. So, we talked about life, and how fast time flies. We started laughing hysterically for no reason because of our broken German.
Today I went to school, and had art, where I am making a hat out of recycled jeans! Then I had German for an hour and scribbled and looked in the dictionary for a lot of new words and to try to understand. We are working on shakespeare play, which is old German, which is impossible to understand right now.So, I just try my best. I had no Chemistry today, so I went to Anilus house for mittagessen, and chilled. It was raining so hard today, after school was out, I was walking to the bus with my swiss friends, and they brought an umbrella, unlike me, so we shared umbrellas and sang the song under my umbrella. Hmmmm. Tonight I have choir and I will go to that for 2 hours. We are singing christmas carols, including German ones, and English ones. It makes me so happy and merry for christmas. OHHH! and christmas cookies and decorations are here now at Migros, so I had some christmas cookies today and peppermint tea at my counselors moms house who lives in Mellingen. AND, she gave me some winter clothes for here.
How lovely
people are.
Now I am going to work on college stuff. And eat dinner. Than sing.
Goodnight World.
