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), edit videos (a sl

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. After parking as

A Visit from Home!

   Hi everyone, I’m finally working on getting caught up with my blog, so here’s what I did with the rest of spring break.    Just a day after I got back from Greece, my grandparents came to visit me all the way from Texas. After a bunch of delays and some cancellations, they finally made it to Germany and I met them at the airport. The first day they were here I just showed them around the city and then went with them to the hotel. It was so nice to see them after so long, and there was so much to talk about and to catch up on. How’s everyone doing back home? What’s changed a lot since I’ve been gone? Have my siblings destroyed my room? These are just a few of the things that we talked about.    The next day the real sightseeing began, of course with the cathedral. After seeing the main attraction we saw some of Cologne’s other sights, such as the Hohenzollern Bridge, the Cathedral of Great St. Martin, and the Schildergasse. While it was nice to be out and about, it wa
