Wow..

It's been like a super long time since I've posted anything..like since January. A lots happened, I've been pretty busy lately. First of all I'll be home on June 10th!!! You all better be waiting for me I can't wait to see everybody!! Anyways I'll talk about the past few months haha..so
January/February
During these months, I was a part of the craziest festival I've ever seeen lol. Fasnet. It's crazy but sooo much fun. I got to dress up as whatever I wanted to every weekend and we'd go to some parade and an after party. It was the best, I hope I can come back for Fasnet someday...So Fasnet was pretty much the highlight of these two months other than that not much..I switched host families in early January to the Raasch Family they're soo nice! My host mom owns a dance studio so I go to Jazz dance every wednesday..accept for recently she broke her shoulder and can't teach, so I've been teaching my jazz class cheerleading haha...they love it. In the end of Feb. Mom and Britt came to see me, it was sooo good to see them again. They surprised me at my school and I made them come inside to meet all my friends before they went to Physics haha mom and britt felt a little awkward but all my friends were soo excited to see them!
March
Mom, Britt, and I left for Paris on March first it was so much fun..I can't wait to go back there on my Euro tour. We stayed for 3 days and then Mom flew back to the U.S. and then me and Britt went back to Ehingen and she came to school with me for a couple of days. After Britt left, the following Monday I went to Munich to pick up Ruthie! It was soo good to see her again too! Her train was late though and I waited at the platform but when it was like a half hour late I went to ask somebody about it and they said nope it should be there so I waited a little and then started to walk around to the other ones to check...I tried calling her but her phone wouldn't work in Germany and I was freaking out a little bit because our train back to Ulm was leaving in like 5 minutes...then out of no where I saw her and screamed "Ruthie! Come, now! We have to catch this train!" hha so we ran to the train and hopped on lol...Then we got to give our hugs and say hi and what not lol She was here in Germany for a week and went to school with me and we just kind of chilled. It was cool to be able to just hang out with somebody and just chill out because Europeans don't really do that...When you hang out with your friends you have something planned to do and stuff. So after Ruthie came here, we both went back to Croatia to Bjelovar.. The train ride was soooo long like 10 hours! It was crazy but alright because Ruthie was there too..We got to sit in what we decided is called a "Harry Potter Box" so that was pretty awesome too lol. In Croatia we only had to go to school one day and we had to give a presentation the next. On Easter weekend we went to the coast it was sooo pretty and kind of warm too. It was so cool to see water again haha I miss our lakes soo bad! I hate living with out them. Other than that we just bummed around which was fun anyways..
April
So this month has been kind of busy.. In the beginning I went to Erika's house because it'd been soo long since we'd hung out with all our visits and traveling and stuff. Of course we had fun like we always do...She also told me to say hi to all my "blog - readers" for her haha so Hi from Erika! She might be stopping by in Michigan before she goes home to California I really hope she can! You guys would love her haha. I had a rotary meeting which wasn't too exciting but I have to give my presentation later this month..My birthday was pretty good, all the girls in my class were so nice they all made cakes and cookies and gave me hugs and it was a good day lol. The Saturday after that I had my party and Erika and Megan came too. It was a good time. This weekend we have our orientation for the Euro tour I'm really excited to see everybody again! They're all coming here tomorrow to Ehingen so thats cool I don't have to go anywhere haha. Then in about 3 weeks I leave for Euro tour I can't wait!

Well that's pretty much everything! I miss all of you sooo much, only 61 more days until I'm back home!!

Love,
Courtney
