The crunchy leaves entice me
Laying on the sidewalk clear
The buzzing little bee
Sees me running far and near
Squish me, squish me, squish me
The leaves sweetly say
for is there any more glee
than a leaf-stomping fall day?
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell.
I can see I haven't updated this in foreverrr.
But, in my defense, there are like 5 different posts started on here that i never just finished. And are now irrelevant.
So. Life. It goes on, right?
No more Germany. Miss it like crazy. Sometimes. Other times its not that bad anymore. The US is cool too. Camp is awesome, when I'm there. (Not meaning it's not awesome when I'm not there, I just mean I'm not there all the time.) Met and made friends with some of the coolest people on the planet this summer. :D
There's so much to say, but I'm not really sure how to say it. So maybe I'll just start keeping my blog again, and we'll just have a gap for the few months i forgot. I think I probably only really blog when I'm bored though. Or when there's no drama at least. Which makes this less exciting. Oh well.
So now, home from camp, in Bar Harbor. Oh the ocean! How dearly I've missed your salty shores! I'm not sure if anyone else has this feeling, but i just can't fathom not being able to get to the ocean within a day if I needed to. A knapp hour and a half drive from my house. But in Germany, oh, i just can't stand the feeling I can't get there. And I longed for the ocean. So much. Even though normally I don't go that often, even though it's soo close.

(I almost wrote Coda, cause I still think of myself in third person like that. Niice.)
Welll that's all for now folks.

Sarah ist ja cool! xD
Ich mag voll viel skypen.
Ist doch viel besser als allein sein und weinen wenn mir jetzt traurig ist dass ich heim gehen müss.
Ich will euch alle nicht verlassen.
:D
Soooo... since I last updated my blog I have done a couple of things. I was in Paris, and did the normal touristy stuff there. I was with Sabine, Reinhard, Niki, Eva & Svenja (a friend of Evas from school). It was basically really funny the whole time, and we had so much fun! And then on the way home I was in Straßburg, where we went in the EU (European Union), and got a tour and were able to sit inside as the actual EU was in session! We got to speak to Frau Grässle, who is the representative there from our region of Germany.
Other news; when I speak to native english speakers that don't know I'm from America, they don't think I'm from America. I can't even say how cool it was to be in Paris, and not be taken for an American tourist. There were three encounters with English speaking people (two groups of Americans, one of Brits), during which we spoke english. Apparently I have a bit of a German accent in english. The coolest one I would have to say was when we were on our way down from the Eiffel Tower and had to wait for the elevator: I was fooling around with Niki, sorta doing the thing 'if your hand is bigger than your face you could get cancer' and then hitting them in the face, which ended up being us just trying to smack the other ones hands into their face. So in front of us in the line there were two Americans, a teenager and her mom. Her mom said, Oh you guys are very entertaining. So then i said quickly in english, Oh Niki you're just so little. And then Niki said something in broken english, which I forget. So then I said to the people, Niki's english isn't so good. So what did they say? Oh, you must have had many more years of english than him. I laughed. I'm an American, I said. They said, What? Really? Well, you've picked up a German accent then. So the we had a conversation about exchanges and everything. :D
If you look at my blog titel you'll be able to see my extent of the french language. Well, that's about it. The most important stuff right? Plus: Oú est Niki? Niki est la. Niki est ici. Oder, Tu es bête. Das wars. Oh, and another important phrase: Warum haut dein Vater immer ab?! Er ist wie Chau Yi wenn sie betrunken ist! Or: Alle. Alle. Alle. Alle alle alle. Eine Straße, viele Bäume, ja das ist eine Alle. :D
Then last weekend (or Sunday to Monday), Mirko and I went in the mountains, and tenting. We really wanted to climb the highest mountain in Deutschland, but because of train complications, we went on a spontaneous whim to Füssen instead. And we camped on a lake, and it was pretty.
In other news, we're reading Das Parfum in German class, and it's actually a really good book, though a bit challenging for me. (What they read in school for german class, like what we read in school for english class.) I recommend it very highly, I only have about 50 pages left (yahooo!). In english it's called Perfume: The Story of a Murderer.
And right now we have two weeks of vacation! A little bit of chill time is nice, especially since after vacation basically every second is already planned. I think my first really free weekend after this one is after I get back from camp. Wow. :D
And only 1 1/2 ish months in left in germany... wow... That's something right there. I'm not even sure how I feel about that..
lovee,
em
