Lost in Europe.

So yesterday i went to markus' work place. He owns a Auto shop and also works at a place called TUBI. which makes tubes you use for hand creams and silicone etc. The name is cool because it means TUbes in BIschofszell. It was really cool to see how everything was made. 
I am Sad to hear certain aspects of what is going on at home with my friends. I guess i just assumed that i would leave, come back, and everything would be the same. including the people.
Marlies still wakes me up constantly in the morning. I am getting used to it. German is kind of coming easier to me. I can actually speak very small sentences and put words together.
Today i got a letter from home. I was so glad to read it. Then i went and got my schedule for school. Megan (the other girl from USA going to the same school) has MUCH harder classes then me. i go to math once a week. i have PE again which is sweet. my class is tiny with only girls as far as i know. I also have bio and natural science classes ( i think tanner would be interested in something like that. cause he is a freak) and i have Music and german class and history. Poor megan with her physics and stuff!  I also get tuesday and thursday afternoons off. On monday i am at school until 6 pm!! i take a german intensive class at night with kids from all over this region of switzerland. They have excursions in the fall. some classes are traveling they get to choose between paris and london! that is a 3 week holiday.. so i actually don't get to go to school until october 20th!! which sucks.. i am so anxious to meet friends and stuff. so i am not sure. they are going to see if i can come to school on the 20th of sept for the week or two before the holidays.. but i am not sure how that is going to go. 
I hung out with Megan today which was cool. We discussed exchange and stuff in general. I think we both have similar goals of things we want to get out of this trip... but also some very different opinions on school etc. She wants to try. like pretty hard. I am more like... well. not like i am going to slack off but i am not going to miss going out with friends one night because i have to do an assignment.
tomorrow i am moving M&Ms mattresses... they are getting new ones or something. OOH and today. i bought a coke and a chocolate bar. Junk food. It was unreal. Dad... they don't sell pepsi here i do not think. and there chips.. it looks like they only have one flavor.. even the bag looks healthy.
I am so stoked for Sunday to meet everyone. Even though my acne is like super bad right now.
i thought i was over this hole acne thing like a year ago. ugh. 
So i watched the cows again today. They all had there ass' towards me. like they were trying to say something. bitches.
Nana i am sad to hear about your foot!!!! i hope everything is going ok!! i love you!
so i was walking to megans today. M&M just kind of assumed i remembered where it was... and i got lost. completely lost. I knew the area i was in and i knew how to get back home. but to get to where i was going was just impossible. i was getting really frustrated and hot. cussing as i walked up REALLY steep hills to see if i was on the right street. My anger was growing. and then i thought about it... I am lost in europe. There was actually something magical about it. So i stopped. exhaled. and started to embrace the scenery and my surroundings. And i actually felt like every inhale from that point on was like me breathing in switzerland.
i mean eventually i had to go back home and meet Megan in the middle. But i am really greatful for my stupidity.. for once.
as for now i am all out of things to tell you.
oh i had mini pizzas for lunch. reminded me of home.
i love you mom & dad!
