Week 10

14th February:

Valentines day! In school you could buy a heart for someone, write their name and class on it and it'll be sent to them on this day with a rose or chocolate and lollies. One girl that's on my bus got 13 roses! Mostly from her friends but still. I did not buy a heart for anyone and no one bought one for me so it was algoods. But it was really weird seeing lots of couples being extra romantic. Too much PDA for me thanks.

16th February:

Valentines Disco at the school! Super lit! 6pm-10pm. There was food and drinks that you could buy. As you walked in you were stamped and given a number which is written on a piece of tape, you have to stick it to your clothing. There were tables with pieces of paper and pens on where if you found someone cute you write their number big on one side and a message on the back and you pin it to a wall where they will be able to see it. In another room the music was pumping loudly and people were dancing and sitting. As I arrived there was no good dancing music playing, so I walked back to the room with the tables and wrote down all the good new and old dancing songs on some paper and handed them to the DJ. When the songs I requested came on most of the people screamed and basically everyone started dancing which I was glad about!

17th February:

After school had finished the kids and I had to eat our lunch really fast and get ready for Faschingsball. I dressed up as an Indiana. (A native American). I was to help out Stefan in the kitchen handing out the drinks to the kids and adults which I found super fun. I also had to lead some English dances and I danced with the kids. It was super fun but exhausting. We also had to help clean up, but one of the good things was we had lots of food left over so after cleaning up a bit we sat together and ate the rest of the food.

Week 8/9

Week 8:

30th January:

School was fun with lots of conversation and messing around and talking about everyone's weekend.

31st January:

I had my Deutsch Course in the Library and it was fun! I learnt quite a bit and made a friend on the bus by just saying Hallo! Some Germans aren't that friendly but majority of them are so kind and nice!

4th February:

Jonas had a mini-tounarment for Soccer in the afternoon. We drove with the team in seperate cars behind us as Stefan is the coach. We ended up having to stand for the whole 4 hours of the tournament as there was no where to sit down! Jonas's team came 4th out of 6 teams, but they did play very good.

Week 9:

10th February:

My class and another 9th grade class had a school trip. A history trip... to a Concentration Camp in Dachau. It was quite an experience. It was quite depressing but interesting learning about most of the rooms. I did take some photo's but I won't post them up on here. Dachai Concentration Camp was the first to open up under the Nazi rule, and it stayed open the entire 12 years of Nazi rule. Many people died there, forcefully or by diseases. Just stepping through the entrance gate made most of the people in my small group cry, it was a massive impact.
