The relationship I once had with LiveJournal is ending.
I hate LiveJournal.
LiveJournal hates me.
It's mutual.
In retaliation I have opened a new blog::

check it out and kiss Livejournal goodbye.

I have decided that being an exchange student is the most bittersweet experience that exists. I can't speak for every exchange student, but for me it is...and i will tell you why. Ok, in August I left all of my friends, my family, my home, everything that I have ever known to come to a place where I was lost, didn't speak the language, and didn't ( Read more... )

well i know that it has been a while since I have updated... I guess the main reason I haven't been updating lately is that life is just sooooo normal for me now here, and it is just weird to write everything that i do. School is going ok, it's still boring, but bareable. Friends are great, I love them. Family is awesome, I love them. City is fun, ( Read more... )

Well....I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday. What a fun ordeal, let me tell you. Not. It was scary, I was awake through the procedure and I don't care how much Novacaine they gave me, I still felt some of the surgery. Yesterday I was completely miserable and there weren't enough pain killers in the world to keep me happy. I didn't eat anything all ( Read more... )

No school this week! Whoo hoo!! Monday morning I left with the 12th and 13th classes to Bremerhaven, which is a small city about 20 minutes away from Bremen right on the coast. Monday we went to the "Auswandern Museum" or the "Emigration Museum." It was so interesting. We all got an I.D. card at the beginning and it was of someone who emigrated ( Read more... )

So the past few days have been good. Thursday I went to a movie after school with 3 girls from my class. We say a movie called "Mein Früher," I'm not exactly sure if it exists in America, but it's a film parodie making fun of Hitler. In which, Hitler hires and befriends a Jewish man, pees his bed, can't get an erection, and instructs the German ( Read more... )

This weekend was really fun. Friday night I went to the youth group meeting in Tiddische(the town where I formerally lived) and I stayed the night at my friend Duda's house(my first host family). I was happy to get to see my first host family again. I really like my new host family(A LOT), but it was still cool to see my first family. It was a ( Read more... )

Well it turns out that this "storm" is worse than I thought. It's actually called an "Orkan," I'm not exactly sure what that is, but its big. Basically, the entire country of Germany is experiencing a "Transportation stand still." No airplanes can fly in or out of the country, no trains are moving, the Autobahn has hundereds of parts that are ( Read more... )

Whooo hooo!!! School was called off today after the 4th hour because apparently we are excpecting a storm of HUGE proportions. At least thats what I got out of it. :S Well, it has been pouring rain all day and I guess that this afternoon it is supposed to start with really really strong winds and so on. Anyway, no school is always a plus in my book ( Read more... )
