So nothing much as been going on in my little life this week. It's actually really long after school I never have anything to do since I don't have friends yet and yeah so I'm finding the time long. The average school day finishes at 1:05 so We have long breaks instead of lunch hours. At school the ceilings are awesome they have little bubbles in them I find it neat. Everyone here carry's their things to class so no one as a locker when a teacher cannot show up class is canceled. Quite cool I find I wish that would [View Full Entry]

Friday after school, Havier's host family came to pick me up at the house and we all left for Münster. I got to sit in the middle being the shortest yahoo. The car was small and we where pretty much stuck in back Simon (or Timon) Havier#s host brother, myself and him where in the back seat with the parents in front. The ride was long and it felt like 5 hours. When we got out of town and onto the highway several mintues later we found ourselves caught in forever ending traffic jam. This only added discomfort to the ride [View Full Entry]

So today was again anothe normal day at school. I find it difficult because the kids in class kind of push me around since I#m the outsider and they all want to be with there friends now I know better what it feels like to be rejected, And it#s difficult for a person to go through that. No one should e treated in such a case generally but one against a group of people makes it hard to win the battle. So on with what I was saying French class was a class I was looking foward to I mean I [View Full Entry]

So that#s about it nothing much as happened today school is boring and really long when you do not understand. I had english but that was way too easy so it wasn#t any better but at least i got to talk english and hear english. The teacher is not that good in english herself but it's alright. Today the weather is really windy and cloudy at times. I think here every day there is both sun and rain. So you can not go out for a long time. But I tried I took a little walk around town well a part [View Full Entry]

Yesterday afternoon consisted of a 1:00 hour walk in the forest. I didn't know what I was in for these are not the little strolls through the forest like around Burbankpond or such but more of a hike in the Forest. The land is made of hills which go up and down up and down up up up and really steep in some places at least one place was really hard. These people are in shape I'm starting to understand why North Americans are bigger then Europeans. These people walk alot and my Hike in the forest and country side was [View Full Entry]
