I'm sitting here in bed right now with a painful stomach ache. This afternoon I began making another pumpkin pie. I took a break from that to sit down and have coffee and ice cream with Sonja, Hanna, and Mirjam. I tried a few bites of the cinamon ice cream only to begin to feel the dreaded tingle on my tongue. Somehow, I guess some hazelnut ice cream got mixed in there. And just a predicatable as the sun coming up in the morning, my stomach ache comes. Although I didn't have enough to make me vomit. Only pain.
But enough of my allergy woes.
Sunday morning (knock on my door)
Me: "Come in"
(It's Mirjam)
Me: "Morgen"
Mirjam: "Hello."
Me: (I look at the clock-8:45) "Sheisse. We have to go to church soon..."
Mirjam: "Nooo, In 15 minutes."
Me: "Umm yeah...."
Somehow I managed to take a shower and grad a piece of bread before going out the door looking half decent. I had set the alarm but somehow I set it to only go off on weekdays. I hadn't been to church in 3 weeks. Once again I had the service translated. But apparently since the last time there had been discussions going on about the mumbling during the service. One person complained so there were talks about it. Then in the service they made an announcement about what was going on and why there was talking. I felt kind of silly sitting there when she was making the announcement. But I think everything is fine now. The man that translates for me and his wife invited me over for the afternoon till 6 when I could be picked up. Holger (my translator) speaks English (british english) perfectly and his wife is extremely good too. He has an extensive library of dvds-over 300, that I can borrow anytime. It's pretty impressive. That afternoon took a walk by the Danube. It was a very nice October day-cool-unlike Pennsylvania at the moment. When I came home, Sarah called that I could come over and watch a movie with her and Katarina. We watched Spanglish. The movie was okay... But I was happy to spend time at Sarahs house.
Today I had my second day of school. I can understand the teacher but it takes much more concentration then listening to English requires. Like I either hear her or I'm doing something else. Not both. I stayed in Ingolstadt and walked around the Fusgangerzone (the place in each city that has all the shops, restaurants and things). It's called Fusgangerzone because cars can't go there. Basically, if you go to a city in Germany that is where you want to be. I told Sarah I could take her home from school on Mondays then she wouldn't have to ride the bus, since she goes to school in Ingolstadt. And don't I know how much riding the bus sucks. So I took her and her brother home. I was late getting home though, since Sarah came a little late. For work today I cleaned the ice cream trailor and the boxes from the Kraut(cabbage) Festival that they sold ice cream at on Sunday--and no they did not make Saurkraut Ice cream :P Then I made my pumpkin pie. While it was baking I picked up Hanna and her friend from clarinet lessons.
My stomach ache is getting better...I think... I should go to bed early tonight since I haven't recently.
