16th, Rotary Weekend, Stuttgart, and other exciting things that make me love my life

I'm soooo sorry I haven't updated in so long, I've been pretty busy! Well.... Basically, it's been... 2 weeks! Wow! Ok, a LOT to catch up on! Where to start, where to start... hmmm...

Well, Thursday, November 5th was my sweet 16th! It was relatively uneventful. I got many hugs and such from school friends. It was very fun, and now I can officially go to the DISCO! Whoo hoo! This fact excites me greatly, you have nooo idea. I am SOOOO going...

Changing the font a little here, just to mix it up! Then on Friday, I went to Stuttgart and met with Hayley, Fernando, and Andrés and together we travelled to Göppingen for a lovely weekend of exchange students, halloween parties, violent games, and other stuff such as this.....

The weekend started with us screaming, greeting each other happily, Olivia practically tackling me to the ground, and you know, the works. I had seen most of the others the weekend before, when we chilled in Stuttgart for Halloween, but some I hadn't, so that was very exciting. Plus, a WHOLE week is a really long time in the mind of an exchange student. A lot could have happened!

Then we went over the rules. This time, no one translated them into English/Spanish for us, they only said them in German. Luckily this wasn't a problem for me, I understood most of what was being said, and who needs rules anyways? Ahaha... Then we ate dinner and then we were FORCED to split into 3 groups. It's ok, it was only for a little while. We designed shirts for the District 1830 exchange students (thats... umm... us!) and then talked with Rotex about problems we had (trust me, we all have at least one problem) and then we wrote letters to our future selves that we'll get back at the end of the year. My letter is... retarded. I didn't really write anything interesting in it, and the other homies in my group drew on it and stuff... so ahaha... can't WAIT to get that back!

That font was boring me... This one sucks too. Ahhh well. Anyways. Then we had to go to bed, but the others in my room (Olivia, Hayley, and Bryn) and I all stayed up and talked. Then, when I finally started to fall asleep, a knock on our door woke me up. I got up, got the key, struggled to get it to open the door (it seriously took me like, 10 minutes) and saw a couple other exchange students, who then realized they were at the wrong room. I was tired, so I said whatever and went back to bed.

Next day... oh this font is actually pretty neat! Next day we went into Schwäbisch Gmünd and did a scavenger hunt thing where we had to ask people questions in German and stuff. My group (Me, Brianna, and Mercedes) cheated and got most of the answers from the tourist information center! We're just that cool. Then we still had like, 2 and a half hours to kill, so we went to get Döners (really amazing food that everyone should eat) and yep. We should have had 4 in our group, but the other team member didn't stay for the second night, so we were at a disadvantage, but Brianna lives in Schwäbisch Gmünd, so it was all good! We met with a couple of the other groups, gave them the answers, and then chilled like the awesome people we are. Unfortunatly, we did not win this challenge (my group, I mean). We ate lunch, and went to a VERYYY long hike. Then we came back, ate dinner, and had a HALLOWEEN PARTY! We played dangerous games, I was serandaded, and a chair was broken. It was a very fun party. Then I was so tired, I just went straight to bed (as did most everyone else, I believe)

Unfortunatly, all good things must come to an end, so we went home sadly the next morning. I went to school (uneventful) and then yesterday (saturday) I went to Stuttgart (I LOVEEE STUTTGART) with school friends and met with a few of the exchange students, and we "shopped" and chilled and were cool. And yes indeed.

I have many pictures which I will someday put up here, as well as a rather large amount of stories from the past two weekends, but I'm quite lazy, so ask me about them!

Ok I'm gonna go eat bread with nutella now. Byeee!

Woah check out that font! Anyways, ask me about some funny stories from the past 2 weekends, if you really want to! I gotta go eat bread with nutella now (yes, I do have to, thanks for asking...)
