This past
week was a week that many people back on campus are also very familiar with:
test week. A week full of a little sleep and a lot of stress, and not much time
for exploring Germany. Between three tests, one major presentation, 3 lab
worksheets, and a paper due by the end of the week, I was quite exhausted and
looking forward to the weekend. I am pretty sure the only thing that got me
through the week was thinking about leaving for France the next week and then
having Spring Break!
Friday
and Saturday were filled with a movie night and then shopping in Bonn. After
how cold it has been all week, it was nice to see the sun out and for it to be
a little warmer. I spent Sunday hanging out with my host family, which was
relaxing and fun. I met my host sister for the first time and we went for a
walk through some fields and woods near our house. It was great to have another
girl close to my age around for just a little while, since I have been living
in the house full of her four brothers. Sunday night, my host brothers, host
parents, and I went out to eat at a Spanish restaurant close to the house. We
actually walked there, which was strange at first, but makes a lot of sense
because it was not very far and there were seven of us. This eating experience
was a very interesting endeavor. I was better able to read the Spanish in the
menu than the German but deciphering it all was still a challenge. The food was
not what I was expecting at all, as I was thinking it would be closer to
Mexican food, but it was still very good.
Yesterday
was our first day in France, but more to come on that in a later post. For now,
I’ll just say that it has already been great and I am excited to see Paris! Au
revoir!
