Elvis: Das Musical

Hey everyone, I’m back and hopefully consistently. I’ll just pick up with a blog over last week (March 5-12), and I’ll post December/January/February soon.
   Sunday I made pizza for my whole host family, as it was my host mom;s birthday. Luckily it was a big hit, and everyone had a good time. Tuesday I was back in the kitchen, making tortillas and taco meat for a taco night. Tacos are not a normal meal for my host family, so I’m glad I was able to bring a little something from home to Germany. Once again everything turned out well, and the tortillas were delicious.

          

   Wednesday my host-grandparents visited, so we could all go to a musical that evening. After school we went to a restaurant grab a bit, and then we headed to the musical. The musical was called “Elvis, Das Musical”, so as you can probably tell it was about Elvis. It was a really great show, and the Elvis impersonator was amazing. He had the accent down, sang all the songs just like Elvis, and made for a really good show. At one point during the show he actuallly jumped down off the stage, and stood on my chair, of all places, to sing a song. I thought the show was great, and I was humming “Return to Sender” for the rest of the week.


   Around Friday I got sick with a bit of a cold, but that didn’t stop me from getting out of the house on Saturday. Sean and I went to a really cool burger places in the hipster Südstadt in Köln. My chili cheese burger was really good, and we had a good time. Afterwards we explored the Südstadt a bit more, as I don’t end up there very often.




    Sunday was pretty uneventful, so that’s about where the weekend ends. I hope you enjoyed the post!

Herzlich willkommen! This is now my 6th post, and I’m now just over 6 weeks into my exchange. I recently added all my pictures to my last post, so you should check it out again! This is a super late post about the second half of language camp, and I’m so sorry this took me so long. I think from now on I’ll keep my posts shorter and less elaborate, and hopefully that will speed up the process. Anyways, this post is over the middle part of language camp, and what a normal day was like. It covers from August 15 to August 24. I hope you enjoy!    For one and a half weeks after our trip to Leipzig we had a completely normal class schedule every day. A normal day for me started very early in the morning. I usually woke up at 5:50, and after getting ready for the morning I would be out by 6:20. Breakfast didn’t start until 8:00, so I used this time to write blogs, read my friends blogs (you should check them out too! Look for the “other CBYX blogs” tab at the top), edi...

8 Hours Away From A Dream

Hello everyone! I’m so sorry I haven’t been posting any blogs recently, I’ve been very busy here at language camp and my first post about German is almost done. This is actually an older post, which I had tried to save and post in the airport on airport WiFi, but despite having checked to see if it was posted (and it was, it showed up as posted), it seems to have been lost for good. I tried to rewrite it here, although it’s hard to remember exactly what I was feeling as we left. Oh well, here it is and I hope you like it.    I’m leaving for Germany in just a few minutes, so my journey is finally about to begin. I’m incredibly excited to begin this crazy adventure, but first I’ll share with you what has been happening the past few days. We resume on Wednesday, August 3; several hours after we finally arrived in DC, when we drove into the city to explore the Mall. We were visiting at night, because you can actually park at night, and because it’s much cooler. Aft...

Endlich, Ferien!

Willkommen zurück! I hope you haven’t gotten sick of my blogs yet, because I’ve got a few more coming this week. I’m getting closer to being caught up every day, so I’ve just got to make it a few more days. As you might be able to tell from the title (which translates to “Finally, Vacation!”), today’s blog is over the beginning of my fall break. However before I had the break, I still had 4 more days of school to get through. It starts on Tuesday the 4th, after my fun 3-day weekend in Bielefeld.    After the fun weekend, I was back in school for another 4 days before we finally reached vacation. It was a very hectic week, due to so many teachers having their Klausurs and many others having to help with the Klausurs. On Tuesday I had a mostly normal day, except for my Spanish teacher not being there. And because German schools don’t hire substitutes, we had those two Stunden (Stunden means hour but here actually means 45 minutes) free. I went to a nearby market i...
