Deutschland -Tage 5-

Heute war geil, aber ich bin mude. Wir sind auf ein Tour von Augsburg gegangen, es dauert 4 Stunde!!
Today was awesome but tiring. We took a walking tour of Augsburg that lasted 4 hours!!!

I ging ins ein Backeri. Ich LIEBE Deutsche Brot weil es immer frisch ist! Ich hatte ein Danisch und auch ein Croissant.
I went to a bakery when we had a little down time, I LOVE German bread because it's always fresh. I had a danish and took a croissant for a snack later.

Wir sind so faul, die Amerikaner (die andere Studenten und ich) lief nicht viele. Ende der Tage, war meine Leherin so weg von uns sagen "Wir mussen ins Banhof gehen, Gehe schnell!"
We lazy Americans aren't used to walking that much and at the end of the day, when Frau Hood said "we are going to the train station, quickly" it ended up being my teacher followed about a block behind by a group of tired, trying-to-keep-up teenagers.

Ich hatte weiss wurst heute probiert (wir hatten ein "Bayarnische" Abdendessen mit weiss wurst, Bretzeln, Tomaten, Kase, aber kein Bier) und es schmeckt gut.
I tried whitewurst today (we had a "Bavarian" dinner of whitewurst, pretzels, tomatoes, cheese, but no beer) it was pretty good. I wouldn't eat it every day, but I liked it. They have a special sauce you dip it in (tasted like honey-mustard to me) and there is a specific way to eat the wurst (as in how you go about peeling it)

Das Wetter is endlich schone! Es hat so viel geregnet, aber jetzt ist es sonnig und warm. Spater in die Woche geht es warmer!
The weather is finally nice here. It had been cloudy and rainy and chilly the whole time but now the sun is finally out and it's supposed to warm up as the week goes on.

Tschuss!
Bye!

heute musste ich ins school gehen zu Deutsche Erdkunde und Deutsch zu lernen. Es war so lassig (Deutsch) aber ich spreche VIEL besser und mehr als ich screibe >.<; Today I had to go to school and learn about German geography as well as learn some (beginners) German. It was so easy (the German) but I speak SO much better/more than I write or type! >.<;

Nach der Schule haben meine Hostschwester und ich ins Augsburg Einkaufen gegangen. Glucklich kaufte ich nicht viele hahaha xDDD nur etwas Schokolade, ein "I <3 Germany" T-Shirt, und Erdnussbutter (LECKER!!!!!)
After school my host sister and I went shopping in Augsburg. Luckily I didn't buy a lot hahahaha xDDD just some chocolate, a "I <3 Germany" T-Shirt, and peanut butter (yum!!)

AAAAHH!


OH MY GOSH
I am so sorry (to anyone who actually comes to read this blog) I have been SUCH a bad blogger!!!
Lots to catch up on!

First off, I GRADUATED!
YAAAAAY!


But following graduation, not only did I become a couch potato with a weird sleep schedule, I also had to take my next step in life...college orientation. (>.>);
2 days of presentation slides and freaking out trying to make sure I signed up for the right classes. Japanese was full (;o;) but maybe someone will drop out and I can get a spot.
I ended up with my fall freshman semester consisting of:
-Intro to Communications
-General Psychology
-International Studies: Focus on Asia
-Anthropology (and a lab)
-Dance Appreciation

...I just really hope I don't over-do it in my first semester. Needing to spend 2-3 hours outside of class studying for every class is going to be a big change (@.@)

I'm SUPER AMAZINGLY ULTRA EXCITED because I leave to go to Germany this week!!!
The downside is that I need to stop procrastinating and get the powerpoint ready for the presentation I have to give to some to one of the English classes over there (>.<) I need to learn NOT to procrastinate!!! It's going to kill me in college!!! This week, I'm going to start trying to put myself on the German time zone so that (hopefully) I don't have too much jetlag. I've had 3 hour jetlag before and it sucked, so I can't imagine the lag I'll get this week (@.@) My current anime obsession is DEFINATLY Axis Powers Hetalia!!!! I love it so much, it's so funny and awesome. I wish history had really been like that! All of my friends (myself included) have voted hands-down that I need to cosplay as Italy xD he's my favorite character!!! PASTA~ We're already trying to form a Hetalia cosplay group. So far we have Japan, China, and Italy with one more person in the group undecided as to who she wants to cosplay. I'm trying to get my friend Sachie to help me with a new blog layout (especially because she has adorable emoticons!!!)

I'm a very happy little Karen, because I finally found my EGL dream dress...and was able to buy it!!! Angelic Pretty's Cherry Bunny OP in yellow (with the headbow too!!) (the one on the right)It'll take a while for it to get here though, since I had to use a Japanese shopping service to purchase it on mbok but I think it's so worth it!! <3 style="text-align: center;">Amazing Tetris blocks
Vocaloids (this was the biggest/most diverse group I was able to get a pic with >.<>
Me as Excalibur from Soul Eater
Queenie-chan in her beautiful kimono
Livi in fruits parlor
Livi, Queenie, and I playing on a statue (racecar VROOOOM!)
I finally found another Meiko!!!
Rob and Wrymon (cosplaying lovely complex) I love these two, they make my con so much more amazing (^o^)


Wow, I said I needed to catch up on a lot... but it doesn't seem like I had a lot to say in the long run (^_^;)
I need to stop taking cat naps (._.;) I'm used to passing out after I eat lunch and not waking up until about 4 *shot* (x_x) but right now, for example, the couch looks so comfy and soft and cozy and...dang it I'm making myself sleepy again.

じゃね、Bye Bye! <3
