Monday

Today, I went to school alone because Kyra needed to go to the orthodontist.  I got on and off the bus ok, and quickly found my French room but realized I had forgotten my German Made Simple book so I had nothing to do for three class periods.  Then came English, where we did a few questions on a new story we are listening to.  The teacher started making an announcement in German so I continued working but it turned out she said that the last three hours of school were canceled.  When I found out, I realized that I didn't have my phone so I couldn't call Jörg to tell him everything so I called from the office.  After that, Jörg came and took me home and it was all fine until Merinda said that Kyra had gone back to school when she didn't have to so she could go home with me!  Oh NO!

There are some interesting differences between America and Germany.  For example, in Germany they don't have drinking fountains!  So, if you forget your Wasserflasche (water bottle), you are out of luck!  Also, in America, we eat our "warm meal" for dinner; here, we eat our warm meal for lunch!  There are some really cool differences in the world!

Lately, the weather has been cold and rainy.  After homework, I don't feel the urge to go outside for more than a few seconds.  Oh well, at least I am surrounded by cool relatives and friends.  I think homework is harder when it is rainy outside than when it is sunny.  I wonder why I feel like that ... when it is sunny, I think it would be harder to concentrate on homework but apparently not!
