Day 28

It feels so unreal, I'm leaving in three days! I am going to miss Germany a lot.  It is a wonderful place.  This morning, I woke up from the tent and came back inside because it gets very light outside extremely early.  After I woke up for the second time, we had breakfast and hung out the rest of the day.  It was a nice break.  For dinner, we had pizza.  Afterwards, we went to the public viewing again.  It was sooo much fun, and Germany winning was great. It was a nice relaxing day here.

Day 27

I'm leaving on Wednesday which is very sad, so I only have a few more days left on this exchange.  Today, we went the pool, but it isn't like a normal pool because it looks more like a really small water park.  They have a few slides and a couple different pools including a wave pool.  Pia, Jil, and I went. I think we all had a great time.  I know I did!  Afterwards, we came home and hung out for a while.  Jil and I pitched a tent that we slept in later.  We had a nice bbq, then we watched some soccer.  Jil and I went to bed in the tent, but didn't get much sleep. Since they practically live in the main city, it was very loud.  It was really fun camping in the backyard though.

Day 26

Today, I went to school with Jil.  She had an English class that I got to participate in which was fun.  After school, we had lasagne that her mom made.  It was sooo good.  For the rest of the day, we just hung out.  For dinner, Jil and I had döner, which we found out is turkey and not lamb like I thought.  After dinner, we suprisingly watched some soccer.  It was a very good night.

Day 25

So most everyone left this morning, but I know I will have a good time without them.  They were delayed for four hours!! School was rough today and I followed Pia around for the day.  I was very tired the whole day. Today was a long day for Pia, so we had lunch at a Pizza place that was near by.  We went with her friends, so that was fun.  Then, we came back to school and had Chemistry.  Afterwards, we came home and I took a nap.  For dinner, her mom made this weird toast with meat sauce and cheese on top.  It was pretty good.  We watched some more soccer tonight and then went to bed.

Day 24

This is my last Wednesday here in Hamm and the others are leaving tomorrow morning.  We went to school today and our teachers let us walk around and go to the mall if we wanted to to get last minute items to bring back home, so I went to the mall with Azlee and Riley.  We had a great time.  Then we came back to school and went home.  We had lunch at her grandmother´s house.  Then we went to an airfield to go flying over Hamm.  I flew with Pia and Jil.  It was really fun! Then we went to the mall again to get supplies for the public viewing of the soccer game.  We had homemade pizza that was great.  Then, we went to Britta's house to get ready for the game.  It was very fun to go the public viewing! Everybody was cheering and having a great time.  We left at half-time because it was a school night and watched the rest at home.  Today was a great day!

Day 23

This was our last day trip with the group.  We went to Soest and Lake Möhnesee.  We went on a boat that went around the lake.  Then we came back to Soest and walked around there for a while.  It is a very pretty city.  We came home and watched soccer.  Russia and Poland were playing, so that was fun to watch.  For dinner, Pia´s mom made pizza and it was amazing!! They also have this special olive oil that has been infused with chili peppers, so the oil is very hot and amazing.

Day 22

It is most of the Americans last Monday in Hamm.  We spen the day hanging out in homeroom, then we went to eat ice cream and döner.  The was the first time I had döner, and it was really really good! All the Americans had a great day.  After school, we went to their German court house.  It was a beautiful building.  The had lots of modern architecture inside. For dinner, her mom made this really really good dish.  I am not sure what it is called.  I will have to ask.  It didn´t seem to complicated to make, so maybe I will attempt to make it at my house.
