Unabhängigkeitstag

So as I'm sure you were all aware that this past weekend was in fact:Independence Day or as the Germans call it, Unabhängigkeitstag. First I would just like to say sorry to my family since I couldn't be with ya'll this year. I'm sure you had fun even without the fireworks. We didn't have fireworks until a couple of days later but it wasn't exactly for the 4th of July. I'm not really sure what it was for.

So here's what's been going on the past couple of weeks.

Mainly, it's been a lot of school. We have class every day for 3.5 hours which is very tiring on the brain but I really enjoy the people and the teachers there so it's been a lot better than my first class I took when I got here.

Last week, we went out bowling with a group for a going away party, or at least we thought. Once we got to the bowling alley, we found out the girl had already left and that we were just hanging out. I bowled some of my worst games yet for some reason but it was still fun.

For Independence Day, we threw our biggest Chill 'n Grill yet. We put up flyers, made a Facebook event and did our best to get as many people there as we could. I'm not sure about how many showed but there were a lot of new faces which was awesome. So we did a lot of grilling and hanging out. Just making friendships and having a good time. We ended the night by watching the movie, Independence Day, in German, which wasn't as good as the original but it was still fun to watch.

Sorry I don't have any pictures for you this week. I'm sure you can head over to facebook and see all the ones from Independence Day.

I'll be home in 4 weeks. Hard to believe it's almost over. I really miss everyone back home but I still don't think I'm ready to go back. There's still some more adventures to be had, so this weekend I'm going to Neu Schwanstein (the big castle that Walt Disney used as his inspiration). Should be pretty awesome. Bis Bald
