The Bus

Ok so i rode a public bus for the first time today. Not going to lie it was a bit scary. Tomorrow morning school starts. I got a pair of new shoes and a t-shirt so i don't stand out to much. I also got a sim card. Its for a cell phone. I can only use it in Germany. I have to be up super early for school. I am so not used to that. My family has already give me a name Morgen Muffel...it because i am not a morning person(: haha some things will never change. I am surrounded by so many things that are new. My brain is just going and going. Alright i have to go now. I'm going to go watch my first German movie. Should be interesting. Oh yea, earlier i watched spongebob and ICarly in German  (:

The Opera House

Today has been a long day. My sleeping pattern is still a bit messed up. Astrid and I went back to The Opera House for a backstage tour. We met up with her mom, Jaqueline, and Mrs. Haupenthal. It was so cool to see it from a different point of view. It has so much history I couldn't even begin to describe. I bought a backpack for school. Later I am going back to town, hopefully by car, to get my bus pass. Annika is going to show me how to get to and from school. Then later I want to go shopping for a shirt and maybe some new flatts. Europe has the coolest style of clothes. (: I am waiting for Peter to get home so I can charge my computer. I am going to post again tonight with some pictures from today!

The Buildings

This is Peter and I infront of an old building we walked by in town. (:

Bayreuth

Today I went to one of the oldest Opera Houses in Bayreuth. It was amazing. The celing had paintings of angles and people. There was gold everywhere. It had a huge stage and 3 floors of balconies. Then my family and I went to the bank to see if my credit card would work. The first machine I tried was a no go but then we tried another and it worked just fine. It can also translate into English! After that we went to the store to get some things I needed that I forgot at home: Razors(Yes germans shave), Deoderant, hair ties, and a german magazine. I paid and everything was great. I even used my German! Things I learned today. Germans don't eat Sauerkraut for everything.. (: German is diffucult but getting better. School starts this week I am so nervous. Me and Jaqueline will be in the same class which is good. Ok that is all for now (:

Learning to be German

.... I have done so much in the past few days and i have learned so much. My german is growing everyday. I pick up a few words everday. I have learned that i don't like carbonated water and i like it out of the good ol' tap. (: The wip cream is not sweet at all. It has no taste at all really. I appearently eat nothing. My family thinks i am on a diet because i dont eat enough... I eat plenty. Bayreuth has so many old buildings and churches. It is so historical. Today i went to a church that was built by a count and has a tower with 8 sides on the outside and on the inside it is big enough so that you could ride your horse with buggy. Yesterday Peter(My host dad) and Astrid (My host mom) drove me around all of the town. I saw Bayreuth from the top of the hill. It was amazing. The day before that i rode my bike into town where only bikes are allowed i saw so many people and experienced culture. My host sisters and I were talking today about movies. They quoted The Hangover! (: Here in Germany they have a movie called Bilight..It makes fun of Twilight. hopefully I get to see it (: That is all for now

I have a meeting tomorrow with my Second host family and some Rotary members. It is starting to sink in that this is not a vaccation.. My flight was long and terrible. I was so tired. I am working on my German.. We are putting up sticky notes everywhere around the house. (: Hopefully i pick up on it soon!
