Official Citizen

I got home from my Kennenlernfahrt (more on that in a bit) and I looked at my passport to find my hostmom had already taken care of getting me my visa. So, now I'm an official (temporary) citizen of Germany. How cool!

Now, back to my week so far. Our time in Rotenburg was pretty well split between working on a class project designed to help us get to know each other (but which was really more boring than worth it) and having time to just hang out with each other. The latter part was really quite cool. I was able to get to know a few friends better and feel more accepted among them. Plus, I met some really cool/fun new friends. I'd love to do something like that again, but minus the 3 hours each day to work on the project.

Tomorrow, I only have 3 hours of school. Then later that evening, I'm going to be hanging out with some of my German friends. I'm really looking forward to it!

Amber: Alles geht echt gut bei mir. Sorge dich nicht. Ich kann nicht zu viel Spaß haben. Ich muss zur Schule gehen. Ich hoffe, dass du jemals nach Bremen fahren kann. Ich bin sicher, dass es dir gefallen würde.

Louise: About my coming to visit you in October: I really can't wait for it! I'm so looking forward to being able to see your part of the world after you were able to see mine. I don't have much news to report about the trip except that I need to get an "invitation" from you to send to YFU at least a week before leaving. I think it just needs to be from your parents saying they know I'm coming and are okay with it. If it's in English, I'm sure that would be fine. I hope all's going well with you!

  2. Hey, Louise!
    Yeah, just send it to me. Do you have my address? If not, I can email it to you. Let me just talk with my hostparents one more time to confirm things, though.

    I'm really looking forward to coming up and spending some more time with you! I can't wait! :)

    Liebe Grüße,
    Jaymee
