School Break

This past week has been the fall break from school here. Everything is starting to get colder and colder, my host brother went to Poland during the break and it was already steadily snowing there. So Winter is coming!!

My host parents took me to BERLIN for a day trip. We saw the Fernsehturm, which is the tallest building in Europe. We went to the top and had a 360 degree view of Berlin. We also went to the German History museum, which had everything you could think of covering German History. Did a little shopping and went home. It is such a grand city that you cannot possibly begin to cover the whole city in a day, but another trip is being planned : )

The next day I traveled on my own to a city called Göttingen, where I met up with other exchange students and celebrated my friends 18th Birthday!! I spent the night with another exchangie (<--- is that a word? If not, I am still gonna use it) who is from Australia. She arrived in Germany in January so her German in significantly better than mine.

The next day the Australian exchange student and I ( not using names here for her privacy) went to Hannover together, we basically walked around the city and just hung out. Not much really worth saying about it, we just had a "chill
day." We later met up with exchangies who lived in Hannover, and she and I were the only ones who spoke English, so now I think it's safe to say that my Spanish is also improving...

For the rest of my break I have hung out with my Host family and just played games around the house. I have worked on my German some also, but not so much, it's getting easier and easier from this point on.

I start school back tomorrow, and my life will fall into a routine again. We don't have anymore holidays until the Christmas break, which for me is from December 19th until January 6th. And then the next holiday is my birthday on the 31st of January : ) hahaha.

Well that's it for now
