My week in Schwartzwald!

It was so much fun. If VH1 knew about me or any of the other inbounds from D-1930 I think we would've been in the running for "Who is having the best week ever!" I have no idea where to even start. On Friday after school I came home and ate lunch with my host mom and sister, after lunch Ute took me to the train station where I met up with Julia and Michael, two other students that live in smaller towns around Ehingen. Then we got on the train to go to Triburg. On the train I was planning on meeting up with Megan but by the time I figured out where she was on the train I didn't have time to go all the way back there and had to get on in the front so at one of the stops Megan ran up with her suitcase which was pretty funny to see..So on the way there we all jus talked about our problems and experiences.

We were the last group to arrive at the hostel. It was kind of weird at first because I'm pretty sure I looked like an idiot trying to figure out if people could speak english or not haha. It turns out the most of us were Americans. I think there were about 9 of us from well Michigan, Illinois, California, Idaho, Kentucky, Conneticut, Texas, Arizona, and Colorado. I'm pretty sure thats all the Americans lol. The other students were from Canada, Austrailia, Chile, Japan, and Mexico. It's pretty cool. I like the change because back home in 6290 we are soo big there are so many of us and here theres only about 15 so it's cool to be a part of a smaller district.So pretty much we hung out for the rest of the night getting to know each other and all that good stuff.
The first two days we went hiking up these mountains. It was a lot of fun, but kind of hard lol. Probably because I'm so out of shape but oh well. It was so cool because I usually don't go hiking or anything like that lol where would you even go in Michigan anyways? So on the other days we got to go touring all these adorable little towns and what not. One day we went swimming in this huge complex place lol I don't really know how else to explain that lol. On our last full day we got to go hang out with some pro hockey team, the Wild Wings lol. So we got to go in the locker room and as gross as it seems I miss the smell of smelly gross hockey equiptment lol. We got some autographs and pictures and then watched them practice for a while. After that we all went ice skating and had tons of fun. In the nights we all hung out and went to some bars a couple of times. All in all, it was fun. If you have any specific questions you can just ask because I don't really know how else to explain it to you other than it was a blast and I can't wait until the next one!
