The Past Few Days

Not much has been going on, other than school. But yesterday I went to my first black and white party (a party where you have to wear black and white), which was a birthday party for one of Sarah's friends Sascha. It was a lot of fun, and I met a lot of really cool people, who I can't wait to get to know better. And today there was no school, so I spent part of the day with Sarah, then went to the Fitness Studio I'm a member of for a few hours, and had a nice evening with my host family. Tomorrow morning we are go to a place called Pullman city, that's about 2 hours away. Pullman city is a western (USA) replica town. We have to dress up in appropriate attire, and do other mid-western things. I'm interested to see what Germans think the old west was like. I'm sure there will be some interesting photos from that. But until then, here are a few photos:





1. The sky when I wake up in the morning. Sehr früh.

2. As the sun is rising.

3. A typical classroom in the school. They have really cool black boards.

4. There is always a sink in the classrooms, for the sponge they use to clean the black boards.

5. Part of my bike ride to and from school.

6. A little more...

7. And some more...

8. Making paste with Sarah at 1:00 am.

9. With Louisa.

Your commute is even prettier than dad's...
I'm comforted to know that your sleep/eating schedule hasn't changed just because you're away!
The Black and White party sounds pretty cool.

Wow, what a pretty ride to school. The countryside reminds me a lot of Rennes, too. The classrooms seem the same, too, very utilitarian! Can't wait to hear about Pullman, that should be interesting . .
