well these are some of the places ive seen. of course this isnt all ive seen, only a handful.

so berlin is great! my sister, mom and i went on a museum tour last week. there were 100 museums to go to. but we only visited 5 i think. xD

last monday i started german school in a gymnasium, 10th grade.. yes, all of the kids are younger than me. ugh. but they are super nice and fun to talk to. they have all been helping me so much, and its helped to improve my german.

ok. my family: is the deal. its like ive been with them for forever. its great. my sister is really fun to hang out with and my parents are hilarious. and balu, the dog, is like this gigantic teddy bear. he's so adorable.

i have started playing soccer again to top all of that off. my skills have improved and all, but i love the team. they are super easy to get along with. all of the nonsense i heard that germans are hard to talk to and whatever is such bull. ive had more random conversations with germans than i did with americans. and all i do is talk to germans. and i never see any of them after one conversation sometimes.

about my classes in school: i have 18 classes.. in one week. imagine all of the high school classes. in one year. yeh, its rediculous. the only classes that i can actually follow along with are: history, chemistry, biology, and of course english. sometimes i can keep up with the french teacher. but her accent is horrible in french. and her german accent i cant even understand. soo yeh.

well, sorry for the short update. i will write one next weekend referring to a YFU meeting in berlin.

bis bald!
