Back to School

Saturday night I went to the birthday party of Nils from the youth group here (also hes Sarahs brother.) Most of the youth group was there. It was pretty good. Although social things such as this one are when I wish most that my German was better. Sometimes I find my self a little bored and left out and constantly thinking how much better it would be I could understand all that's said. I did manage to stay up till 4:00 before I called it a night. Most slept overnight and even managed to make it to church, where we sang.
I went home with Sarah because my car was still at their house and spent the afternoon there. I will miss the youth group here especially Katarina and Sarah. Sarah is going to Paraguay this summer for a year with CD (the german version of mcc). Before Germany I never knew or heard anything about that country. Now I want to go. I hear so much about it here from the Mennonites and also because Schowalters have farm workers from there. I didn't even know about the german mennonite thing there. LMH has taught me so well.
Monday I went to school. However, it was not my normal German lessons. I went to school with Sarah. She asked me to do a short presentation in her English class about my life in america. (The main reason she asked me was to spite her teacher, who she thinks doesn't know English all that well. And since I am pro teacher-spiting I agreed.) The teacher also wanted me to talk politics and the presidential elections so I did. I tried to explain and I also gave my personal opinions on things to the class. Of course this was all in English :) I was really happy about being able to spend the school day with Sarah. I love seeing how the school here is. They stay the whole day with the same people and the teachers move around. Except in biology, where they did move to a different classroom. I couldn't help but think that my high school experience could have been better if school got out at 13:00 and we were aloud to off campus too.
