I am surviving!! 3rd week in Deutschland.

22/11/16


It has now been about a month since i have been here. 
That. Is. Crazy.

Time really does fly when you're having fun. 
It is so sad to think that i have only 2 months left.

On the weekend my host father took me to my first professional soccer game which was so cool to see! The atmosphere was great and the game was very cool to watch. Unfortunately we did not win but that is okay. 

Today was quite a good day. 
I laughed a lot with my friends today which was good, 
I don't think our KLT teacher thought so but it was funny.
I also went and hung out at the school cafeteria after school with a few people which was a lot of fun. 
They were selling waffles and tea and coffee for the parent teacher interviews so i helped a bit and talked a lot with them. it was very fun. 
I also joined a new year 9 english class who just asked me lots of questions about australia and myself which was good. 

I have begun to make some really good friends. Not just my main ones but others too. Everyone is so nice and friendly and i am always having a good time. 

I actually am so torn between Germany and Australia. 
I guess they are so different you can not compare them. 

I have started to realise how crazy it will be when i come back to Australia. 
Some things will be different compared to when i left, i will start my OP and will have to actually start doing things for my future. 
I don't want to think about this right now. 
I am in Germany so lets not think about it just yet.

Today was one of my best friends birthday and i was very sad that i could not spend it with her. 
My sister will also have a birthday when i am here. 

OH MY GOSH
i might sound weird and crazy but today i saw and touched a real christmas tree! Like a real one. 
In Australia we have plastic ones and not real ones so this was so cool.
Everyone was like looking at me weirdly like i must have come from another planet but it was pretty cool. 

I am very excited for my first cold christmas and if i am lucky enough it might snow which would be amazing. It is going to be so cool to go to the christmas markets and just feel what it is like to actually experience this rather than sitting at home in air conditoner in some shorts and watching a christmas movie where it is cold and looks like a typical christmas. 

This weekend we will go to my host sisters town where she studies and apparently is is very cute so i am very excited.

Anyway, I am very excited for these next 2 months. 

Love from,

2nd Week!!!!

13/11/2016

Moin!

I have officially been in Germany for over two weeks!!

I can not believe it still!

My mum came at the beginning of this week which was so cool. 
We went into Bremen a lot and ate a lot of  good food :) 
It was so good to see her.

School has been pretty easy. 
I do not do much so like haha 
I am just trying to understand what people are saying but it is so hard. 
I feel like an alien most of the time 
But i am not complaining. 

I know other exchange students who are  having a hard time with friends and homesickness and I do not have these problems so i am lucky. 

Everyone is very nice and pretty funny so yeah. 

I really do like it here. 
It is so hard to explain. 
I really do not want to leave already.

3 months is definitely not enough time. 
It is already going so fast 
I am just not looking forward to the flight back to be honest. 
It is SOOOOO long and exhausting. 

But lets not think about that because that's not happening yet. 

I think i would really like to try and do some things with the people i have become friends with at school soon. 

I just do not want to seem like i am annoying or whatever. 
we shall see. 

I really love my village.
It is so cute. 

and plus it has snowed!!!! 
it was so beautiful!
i love it 
i made a snowman with an old exchange student who came to Australia. 
It was so fun. 

in these next few weeks i will go to where my host sister studies with my host family which will be so much fun and i have heard it is very beautiful there. 

I am so excited for christmas!
it is going to be so different i am excited. 
The christmas markets should start soon too so that will be cool to see. 
Hopefully it snows a lot before i leave i would love that. 

I am excited to see what happens over these next few months!

My first week in Deutschland!!!!

6.11.16

Hey there it’s Isabella here!

I

AM

IN

GERMANY!!!!

The plane flight was exhausting but i spent it with some pretty good people. 

When I arrived my host family was waiting for me with a big sign and it was so cute. 

I can not believe that i am here.

It is such a beautiful place here.

The buildings are so pretty and everything is just so cute.

The food is amazing too J

My host family is honestly so sweet. They are such amazing people. I feel apart of the family already!

I had my first week of school last week.

It was pretty good.

I barely understand a thing so that’s um interesting.

But I am getting there.

Most people can explain things to me in English so that helps. 

Plus I do not have do much so it is fine.

I take: German, English, Math, Art, Politics, Biology, Physics, Sport, another Art  course, Cooking and I also help out in some other grades English classes which is so cool especially because some of them are learning about Australia.

I have made some friends which is cool. They are so nice ad funny.

It feels so weird talking about Australia to people because I have lived there my whole life so telling people who have never been there before feels so weird.

On the first few days here I went with my family to the city near us called Bremen and its so cool there I love it.

We also went to this cool carnival type thing called Freimark (I think J) and there were cool rides and a lot of good food.

I went to this super awesome place called Klimahaus yesterday with my host father and it is like a museum type thing were you walk through it and it takes you all over the world and tells you about all these different climates and peoples stories. It was amazing to see how it is like for others to live and how where they live effects their lifestyle.

My mum is coming to my host families house in a few days for her birthday and we are going to celebrate with some other people. She has been travelling around Europe for this past week. She has had so much fun and she honestly deserves it. I am so excited to see her but so sad to say good bye because I love her so much.

Speaking of the family back home, THEY GOT A NEW DOG!!!! And he is so cute. He is a maltese x shitzu I believe? Anyway he is adorable and I am looking forward to meeting him when I come back to aus.

 “we remember the moments not the days.”

I already know I am going to have the best time here.
