Killing two days with one post

So today and yesterday were very big days. Melanie is still sick...(FEEL BETTER EMILY...I'M EXCITED FOR BRIDESMAID TALKING.....THINKING OF YOU..Miss you and Kristin both!!!)....she had a bad stomach ache today too. I really hope she feels better for this weeknd, we have a long train ride and it would suck not to have her along. Today and yesterday I had an English lesson, it was really nice to hear my own language. I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed with my ap english homework from the U.S., but I should have time next week to sit down and tackle it. Not this weekend, but the next, I will probably be going to see my old friend Jamina, she lives here in Germany, and Zach, Mikayla, and I met her in America when she came for 5 months. So, that is exciting. I have a lot of homework at the moment, but I'm still managing to have some fun too. They have a whole pantry full of chocolate that i must resist daily, but sometimes I grab some Haribou and Milka. I drink only carbonated water because they only drink carbonated water, but im slowly switching back to regular water, it tastes soo good, and carbonated water is bad for you after awhile. Plus, it makes my stomach a little jumbly. All is good here otherwise. Tomorrow, I get to sleep in and take a later train. Melanie is still sick and is coming to school tomorrow, I'm happy!!!! More later.
Yours,
Kate

I'm new. I don't like putting myself out there on the web. But, for the sake of time and not answering the same question twice I am doing this. Today, I road with Melanie's father by car to my school. His name is Reinhard. Then, I had to catch the bus and the train and not get lost. That was kind of hard, but I managed. I'm growing more fond of the public transportation system here, the trains are a great way to get around and the buses are nice too. Not much went on today. Melanie is sick, I think a cold, and so I have to travel to and from school alone again tomorrow. But, I'm not so worried now. Tomorrow I have an English, German, an excel computer class, and spanish. Spanish is really difficult for me because I have to translate three languages at a time. And even if I understand the german word in English, I end up not knowing it in Spanish. But, it's getting better. This weekend I will meet with Zach and Mikayla, we can't wait to swap stories. Today, I had a big Physics lecture. The teacher is a really nice guy, he reminds me of my brother, and that made me miss him a lot today because I hardly get to see him, but I know that he has one of the best people I know by his side, his wonderful girlfriend, and they support each other like nothing I've ever known before. I miss them a lot. Angie was the one who told me to do a blog, and while I hesitated at first, I am so glad that I have done it. It was the perfect idea for me when I am here in Germany, it makes everything much more simple. Thank you so much Angie. I'll write every day, or almost.
Yours,
Kate
