This morning, I woke up at like 9 to cramps. Fantastic. Yep, I started my period. Three days left and it decided to arrive. RUDE. At like 11, Theresa came in and told me she was going to the store, so I was alone for like an hour. And then their phone started ringing. Which was TERRIFYING. OH MY GOD. WHAT EVEN. It was this really loud piano-y music and I freaked out, because they have a piano. But...

On Tuesday, Kerewin woke us up. Meh. I thought we were going to be able to sleep in. We got dressed (barely) and had breakfast of… Once again, bread. Then Kerewin’s dad drove us to a bus stop in Neu Kloster. We got on a bus and SO DID JENNA. WOOP. So we talked to her the whole way to Wismar about the stuff she’d been doing and blahblahblah. Then at Wismar, we got on a train to...

On Monday, Kaitlin and I woke up around 10:30, I think. Kaitlin was hungry, so she kind of raided the kitchen. We got ready and Kerewin’s dad picked us up at noon. Apparently ‘the f word’ isn’t that bad to say here. There were five of us and only room in his car for four, so he went “Oh f*ck.” (CENSORING FOR 13 YEAR OLDS AND GRANDMAS.)
Anyway, we all managed to...

On Sunday, I woke up around 10 and got on a bus to Wismar. Theresa asked me if I normally listen to music while on the bus. Awkward. I’d left my headphone earphone what things at her house, so I just told her I didn’t want to.
After a while, we pulled up in front of the stop in Wismar and Kaitlin and Kerewin were there! I sat next to Kaitlin and we talked about what we’d done...

On Friday, it was their last day of school! And it only went until 10. When we got there, we went straight to the auditorium thing for an awards ceremony. At least, I think that’s what it was. They didn’t translate it, so I’m not sure. Kerewin (Kaitlin’s) and Lisa (Janka’s) won something though!
After that, Kaitlin and I went to our hosts’ classroom. Kyle was...

On Thursday, we had school again… When we got there, we went to a room with the 11th graders, where they had an obstacle course that you were supposed to do blind folded. Most people in our group did it, but not me! I couldn’t have done it with my eyes open!
After that, we followed Jenna’s host sister to her room and watched as they played weird games. In the first one, we made...

On Wednesday, we woke up a bit earlier, got dressed, ate breakfast, blahblahblah. After that, we went back to our rooms to pack up our stuff. We put our bags in a room and locked them up.
Then we left to go to a museum called The Story of Berlin. We got there like 45 minutes earlier, so we all sat on the ground in front of it. A few people played Janka’s monster game, Kaitlin and Emily...

On Tuesday, we woke up at 7ish and got ready to go. I wore red shorts! We had breakfast, which wasn’t very good, but eh. It was free!
At 8:30, I think, we left to go to Potsdam. We went to some palace castle thing where someone named Fredrick might have lived. I don’t know, I wasn’t really listening. The tour guide showed us where he was buried though! Apparently he hadn’t...

On Monday, I woke up and got all my stuff together to go to Berlin. It was kind of awkward because I didn’t know what to do and I don’t think my family knew what time to be there. Er.. Anyway! We got there successfully! Theresa’s mom drove us to the train station with our stuff. Thankfully, Jenna was near us when we parked, so I walked in with her. We stood around for a little...
I’m gonna post some pictures from the train adventures and then I’ll write about them later :D

On Sunday, I woke up at 8 and got my stuff together. Theresa’s mom drove us to the train station in Wismar. And we were the only ones there for a long time until Max and Kyle came, which was awkward since I don’t really know Kyle. After Theresa bought our tickets, we went up to the platform thing to wait for everybody else and the train. They finally came right before the train came,...
WatchJanka and Shelbi taught some Germies how to square dance :D

This morning, I woke up around 10:30. I didn’t really know what to do, so I went pee. (Janka ;D) I kind of wanted them to hear me come downstairs or something, so they’d be ~alerted of my presence~ I don’t know if it worked. So anyway, then I went into the kitchen and had a little bowl of Frosted Flakes (called Frosties here ;D), some bread with strawberry marmalade, and orange...
