First day of school and my weekend
I am at school as i am writing this.i am pissed off because i wrote a huge blog yesterday on my own computer and then doris turns the internet off at night when everyone is going to bed.. so before i could publish.. it got deleted.
oh well.
so this weekend was good. i went to this boys birthday party on friday. we had to catch the bus and then walk about 20 minutes in the middle of nowhere until we finally reached this souped up farm house. haha it was decked out with lights and stereo systems. I spent most of my night with a girl named sashi.. she is 18 and one of aley... my host sisters good friends. we shared a lot of laughs together this weekend. and then on saturday we went to a disko.. which inevitably got really crammed.
you have to be 16 to go and then if you are 18 you get a stamp on your wrist so that you can buy drinks.
16 year olds only get 2 drink tickets.. which i think is bogus but what ever... only 2 more months until i am eighteen.
it is weird because i NEVER ever feel old around my friends because for the most part... they are older then me.. but here i am like 'so cool' because i can buy my own alcohol soon.
So the disko was a lot of fun and on the 20th they are having a foam party so i am excited for that
My good friends Matto and Mitch are in Zurich as i am typing this and after my rotary meeting tomorrow i get to go and see them. I am so excited to see someone familiar that speaks good normal english
today was my very first day of school. I have never been the new girl so it has been quite the experience. first off.. i woke up late... like really late.. like we were suppose to leave at 845... and i woke up at 830.
doris my host mom let me get ready until 9 so that was nice of her.
the boy sitting behind me just shit his pants and then left
so now it stinks. grr.
anyways.. so i get to school and i am welcomed by my teacher and the guy that takes care of the exchange students... i go to my class and they are all girls and they seem very sweet.
i am not sure how old they are but i am guessing 15 16 ish.
today i had history. natural science and then bio... the classes actually seem to go by really fast.
in natural science we spent half of the 2 periods burning glass on the bunsin burner... i dont think that is the right spelling... so that was fun
and then in bio we did the old microscope thing with your hair and then an onion.
i have already done bio so that class is a mix of 'ugh i have already done this' and 'this is so much easier for me' but of course the language barriers are difficult
the class tells every teacher we go to to speak high german for me.. so that is nice
i am excited for music class... everyone keeps telling me how crazy the teacher is.
lunch time was a bit frightening.. the girls in my class of course offered me a spot at there table but i was planning on eating with Una and Leoni.
eventually i found them and we walked to migros (its like there everything store.. seriously.... EVERYTHING) and i immediatly wished i had brought a sweater
the temperature here just dropped within one day. three days ago it was nothing but sunshine and hot weather and icecream and now... just like at home. the leaves are changing colors and it is getting bitterly cold.
of course it does not compare to Canada.
i am looking forward to a phone call from my parents tonight.
I am pretty tired.. but tomorrow i finish school at 1208 ish
on thursdays i get out really early.. like eleven.. so my family is trying to set up for me to go to a kindergarten or have one on one german courses or something.
they also have encouraged me to join a sport team
but i duhno... i really dont want to have lots of commitments right now
anyways.. i am just waiting for german intensive to start... it is a special class for only exchange students... not quite sure what we are going to do but meh
that is all for now
love you mom&dad

JERRRRIE! Yay! Thank you for writing! I hope you get to go to a kindergarten. I love that idea. It all sounds so exciting. I hope you get to do some theatre or acting...I realize the language barrier makes it complex...but still...are there any opportunities like that through school? Love you, Carrie
omg jerrie that sounds so exciting! sounds like alot of fun also. but all girl classes? hmmmm....
Hi: So happy to hear once again from you, you sound like you are having a fun time and also fitting in for the most part. The first day of school seemed to go easy for you, I am so proud of the way you are handling things so far away from home. Ken will be leaving in the early a.m. and it has been nice to have him home. I made him halushki but honestly I will make you a big batch on your arrival back home. Take care of yourself and behave. I love you, nana.
Hi Sweety....It sounds like everything is going GREAT!!! Is your lap top fixed full time now? Hope you've cleared that hurdle. Hey...maybe later this week you should introduce yourself to the boy who was nice enough to shit his pants, just for you. You could eat a couple of plates of sauerkraute with beans on the side and wash it down with a can or two of beer the night before. When you see him sitting somewhere, go up to him and shake his hand...before you let it go, kick one leg over his arm and pull...this should put his face you know where...then let him have some stale saurkraute / bean / beer surprize!!! Just like the German OOMPA bands...but much more personal!! For extra effect, you could yell "WHO'S YER DADDY, WHO'S YER DADDY, WHO'S YER DADDY"!!! Well, that's what i would do.
Love you Sweety...Dad
One more thing...and don't say G-R-R-R Dad... two drinks at the disco is PLENTY...even after you turn 18.
Goodbye to Pastaholics! Hello First day of school blog!...So happy to finally sign in and see a new one! I compare it to waiting all day to see a show that you are just dying to see....and then they cancel the show to play a re-run! haha
I think that your first day of school went well...don't you?...I wish I could be there so that I could have taken "the first day" picture that I always took when you kids were young...remember?
The phone call today was everything to me!...especially when you were talking with Mike...to hear him laugh..to hear you laugh! ....well...can't put into words what that meant to me as your mom!
Take good care...I LOVE YOU!
MOM
This is a wicked post. You write so well, almost like movie dialogue, I can see you saying almost everything you write. It adds a nice personal touch, I could see you there with that poopy smell left by the fellow must have been priceless. It is a good thing that your classes go by fast mine don't.
CHEEZIES! :) OH HAPPY DAY!
