Sunday

Today is Sunday. There isn’t much to do here on Sundays, but my host sister and I had a really good day. When I got up, I studied a bit of the material my classmates are covering back in Spain. A little while later, my host sister came downstairs with several board games and showed me her family’s favorites. We had a great time. After lunch, we took a nap. And later, my sister and I made chocolate cookies. Even though they didn’t turn out perfectly, we had a lot of fun making them. I’m sure we’ll get better with practice. After that, we had dinner and sat in the living room to watch The Vampire Diaries together while eating our cookies.

Making bracelets in Munich

Today, Elisa, her host sister, my host sister and I went to Munich for a fun day out. We started by visiting some shops to buy souvenirs. I got a small charm with the German flag, and Elisa bought a cute postcard. After shopping, we walked around the city, enjoying the beautiful weather and the lively atmosphere. We even found a little street market with handmade crafts, which was really nice. Then, we went to a store where we made our own bracelets. I made one with Turkish evil eye beads, which are supposed to bring good luck, while my host sister created a beach-themed bracelet with little seashells and colorful beads. It was so fun to make them, and now we have a special reminder of the day. We ended the day with some ice cream, and I couldn’t have asked for a better time.

A German party

Today was the birthday of a very good friend of my host sister, and she threw a party that we were invited to. Two other Spanish girls were also invited, so I wasn’t alone. I was really curious to see what parties are like here. The first difference is that they start much earlier. This one started at seven in the evening, while in Spain they usually start past midnight. It was in a party hall, and there was food, drinks, and candy for everyone. There weren’t many guests, so the room seemed a bit empty. Even so, it was fun. There was a photo booth, a game table, and a craft area. Music was playing all the time, and we spent the evening singing, having fun, mingling, and playing with the German girls.

First day of school

Today was the first day we went to the German high school, Christoph Probst Gymnasium. Even though I wasn’t thrilled about having to wake up at 6:30 in the morning to catch the train and arrive on time, I was very excited. When I got there, I met up with Elisa, the other Spanish girl who came with me, and together with our host sisters we went to class. The school really surprised me—it’s very big and full of people. The classes were quite enjoyable, and although I don’t understand the language well, I still found it interesting. During the first break, we went to the cafeteria and I bought myself a donut. During the second break, we took the opportunity to explore the school. Since Elisa had already been there, she was able to show me around very well. It’s great to be able to see how everything works here.
