Into The New Year

Well its been awhile since Ive added anything to my blog, so I thought Id give and update on the last month or so and the festivities that I have taken part in!

I had a pretty fun Christmas, on the 6th we leave our shoes out and they get filled with candy and what not. Then alittle later in December I went Christmas shopping with a friend of mine in the next city on the 23ed and then on the 24th its a family day. Normal Germans go to church gather as a family, and eat strange things... Then in the evening on the 24th we exchange gifts with each other, and that's not really any diffrent than in the USA. The one real difference that I noticed was that people here don't put up a Christmas tree until the 20th or later. On the evening of the 25th my brother and I went to party, it was about 10,000-15,000 people in a big disco.

New years we celebrated alittle smaller, my brother and I partied with a few girls in may class, we did some fireworks, and partied until the morning came!

Over break I was able to meet up with two of my friend from the USA and we had a good time together. One lives in Hamburg and another in Oldenburg.

Now I'm back at school and were rapping up the end of this half year, and were getting our grades... not to exciting because the first part I didn't really get, but maybe the next half year Ill get some good grades!
