After a pretty long and boring day, I was looking forward to my rest day. Just relaxing, watching series and having fun. Then my Momo, Sev, Götzi and I played Overwatch the whole day. I actually felt kind of bad because I just went to eat and the rest I was in my room. But I had so much fun and I really enjoyed it, so I think that’s ok every now and then. Now it’s 5 in the morning in Germany and we just stopped playing. The rest I will now spend watching shows and then take a long sleep so I’m awake for tomorrow’s football game. GO GATORS!

Today my new shoes finally arrived, they are a little uncomfortable but I think I’ll keep them if they stretch out. School was great since I got to talk a lot with my friends, but volleyball was hella boring for way too long. My workout was fine and now my legs are kind of sore. Afterwards I listened to music and since the bird started dancing we did a little dancing. I‘m looking forward to friday and my day off tomorrow.

School was special today. Each of our classes lasted 24 minutes and we got out at 11:20. But still I didn’t come home until 12:20 because the bus wouldn’t start. After that I watched the Apple Keynote and it was very interesting, regarding how techonolgy evolved over the last decades. Then I went to the gym and had a good workout. Afterwards I warmed up leftovers from yesterday and relaxed a little. Then I used the rest of my day writing the Cover letter for my application and it took quite a while. So now I let the day fade out by watching some shows.

Nothing major happened in school, we wrote a test in math and geometry and I talked to my coach a little about my workout plan. He gave me some tips which I implemented today. I‘m trying to fill out my application for the study I want to do but I haven‘t found the time yet to do the major stuff. Then I had to do the most ridiculous homework ever, which was basically copying a page out of the book. Fun and I probably couldn’t have used my time more efficient.

After a quite boring day at school, except for maybe the first time our teacher actually tried to teach us volleyball and getting frustrated after not being able to lift the weight I used to couple days ago, I came home to a hell of a lot of rain. I had to run about 200m and afterwards I was soaking wet. Then I spent most of my day talking to Leonie and my family, which made me really homesick. But it was supper time so I had to hide it a little and went to the gym to get some other thoughts into my head. At the gym I had a good time since I got to talk to a more experienced guy. He gave me some tips and advice to improve, which was really nice of him. So after all this day, even though I got homesick, turned out to be a good day. In addition to rewarding myself a little at this time I bought myself new shoes I wanted to try out.

Today I had to get up a little early to go to church. The church was fun, there was a lot of singing and afterwards they offered donuts and drinks. But I couldn’t eat any more  because I had a huge lunch. I spent my noon by myself to watch shows, play games and chat a little with people from home. Then Hazel offered me to take me to Walmart so I can stock up my candy and get a lock for my bike. I bought a huge amount of candy, like Butterfinger or Oreo’s Cinnamon Bun. The latter was just amazing, if I could I would eat all of those on an instant. The upper one is what I had, and the other one is what I bought. The rest of the day I spent real quiet since I’am a little homesick.

Sleeping in until 10 in the morning. Making myself a bowl of cereal. Today was the big cleaning day. So before I went to the gym, I washed my clothes and wrote my two reports for Rotary. I had a good workout today but I am looking forward to my day of rest. After that I made myself a bowl of ramen, put my clothes back in my drawers and shortly after Roger called me to tell me that we are going to Walmart.  I went to the candy section and was just amazed by all the stuff they had. Then Hazel showed me the Halloween sweets section      (this picture is about a tenth of what they had). Other than  that we bought a bike for me and some clothes for the painting on Sept. 22nd. After we were done I had the pleasure of riding the bike home while it was about 40°C outside. But that wasn’t enough, my bike broke down about 10 times on the way, so it took me forever and after being home I sweated like I ran a marathon. After all it was a fun and exciting day and I am looking forward to tomorrow going to church with one of the Rotarians.

School was boring as always but my math teacher and I talked and she asked me if I may want to teach the class once since the stuff we are doing is pretty boring to me. After school I went to a friends house to eat and watch the movie TAG. This movie is absolutely awsome and funny and I would recommend everyone to watch it. Other than that nothing to major happend but I’ll have to clean my room tomorrow.

After yesterday my muscles were very sore the whole day, still I went to the gym. So I am looking forward to another day of soreness, but it‘s fun and keeps me active. Other than that school was pretty much the same but I got to talk a little which was fun. The rest of the day I spent real quiet.

After a long day of school, I finally decided on three different options to do after my exchange. Then I did my first sports tryout: Wrestling. There we went into the weight room and then did wrestling moves, but I couldn’t participate too much because I didn’t know how to do those moves and when we wrestled, the Coach didn’t put me up for a fight. It was fine since after a couple of minutes into wrestling, I knew it wasn’t my kind of sport. So at 6 i finished practice and went straight home to eat, after eating I went to the activity center. This brought me to a total of 3 workouts this day, that’s why I’m very worn out by now meaning going to bed early to recover.
