Nature Preserve!

When I type it all out I realize that I have been to a lot of Animal events lately... I suppose I am just trying to get them out of the way before it gets too cold... which it is well on it way to being!!!!!

Out of all of them, this one was the best because the animals were just right there! In there own environment... I REPEAT.... STANDING RIGHT THERE!!!!!

It was a long walk but a lot of fun and good for pictures... plus I went on festival day!! So there was stands and food everywhere!!!!

Sea Life

They had these awful snakes... and No SHAMU!!!
What a shame.... but I really like this picture!!!

THE ZOO!!!

Ok I have to admit it can't top some of the zoo's in America.... especially since it was raining that day...... but this elephant made the trip worth while!!

He was reaching out to his 'fans'!!!! So sweet!!!!

I have been bad....

....well at posting anyway and I know it. If it makes you feel any better though everybody has stayed in my thoughts and prayers!!!!

I really believe that the days go by faster here! WHICH IS AWESOME when I think about home but then I think about my friends here and well talk about mixed feelings!!!

School is going better now that I have friends in my class. My problem is understanding what the teacher is saying. My German really has improved but more in conversation not so much in Math and Chemistry. They have a whole different vocabulary to go with each subject and lets face it.... I wasn't very good at math when it was taught in English..... Tomorrow I have a math test and well... Viel Gluck as they say here.

I am extremely excited to be moving soon!!! I will have a 15 year old brother and a 12 year old sister! My sister, Mara, is a very good German teacher because her patience is amazing. The same with my new Host mother who is a stay at home mom and is excited to sit down and do some crafts with me!!!!!! I hope to be moving in the NEXT two weeks or so!!!!!!!

This coming weekend I will be visiting Berlin!!! I will make sure to take bunches of pictures and post them soon after!!!

The Presentation!! BLAH!

Yeah we always have to give presentations to out Host rotary clubs!!! Lucky for me the first one is in ENGLISH!!!

I was really nervous before I started talking but for those who know me I just cant stop once I start!

So all went over well and I even got congratulated because I tried to use German!
