Past few days.

They haven't been very eventful lol. Pretty boring actually. I go to school, sit there, looking up definitions that go with the lessons in my little dictionary. I did get invited to go to a party with those girls in my class though. I'm pretty excited about that. I was invited to go to Ulm this weekend with some kids too. I hope I can go because it means so much to me to have friends. I've never been with out somebody there to call or talk to and I'm getting pretty lonely. I honestly thought I knew the meaning of friendship and how important it is. I thought wrong. My friends and family mean everything to me and it took this for me to know how much they really meant. It's not like I didn't appreciate them before I left, i just never know how much I do. I miss you all so much, thank you for being there for me when I needed, and I'm sorry for not knowing how much you all really mean to me.

So, enough with being sad, I don't mean to make you feel bad about my homesickness.

So I had my first basketball practice today, it was pretty intense considering how out of shape I am lol, but surprisingly I didn't completely suck. Well towards the beginning I did because I was really nervous and rusty too, but later on in the practice I felt more comfortable and started to play a little better. The coach said he definiatly has a spot on the team for me and that I would play quite a bit as long as the head hancho basketball guy says I can play. So thats good..

My laptop also works now, thank goodness. I like it a lot better because now I can just use my computer and it works a lot faster. So Mom, I can send you pictures throuh kodak now :)

Well time for bed.

I love you friends and family!

Court, we all miss you a ton! But like your aunt said, this is an opportunity of a lifetime, and like your mom said, we'll all be here waiting for you. lol geeze I guess I'm not saying a whole lot I'm just stealing other ppls stuff. haha. but for real, enjoy it because its only a year and we'll be here for you forever! Honestly I realized that I took you for granted too. and I'm not sure that it has even sunk in that you're gone because I don't see very many of my friends during school, like betsey and kenzie, I usually don't see at all. and so when I really take a moment and think about it, I'm like oh my gosh, Courtney really isn't here. we all miss you a ton, but just have fun and enjoy Germany while you can! alright well this is pretty long so I'll wrap it up. Lova you and Miss you a ton! Maddie

Courtney, Lorri and I are sitting here with your parents, envious of your experience. Both Lorri and I know how hard it is initially. Do not give up, your efforts to make new friends will payoff. You will make relationships that will last a lifetime. You have a phenominal personality which will always shine through! Keep us posted.

Your dad says keep in mind that if your'e not first, ... your'e last. LOL

Courtney,

It's your cousin fyi. Glad to see that you're meeting the trials of the trip head on. I've been reading your blog for a while and am really envious of everything you are doing! It really makes me miss what little time I have spent in Europe.

Keep up the great posts!
