You know, a while ago, when this whole thing was getting started, I went on the Internet to look for a blog post about Orientation. And guess what? I only found one. And it wasn't very good. And I wondered why??????? I want to knooooooooowwwwww. But now I know why. It's because orientation is EXHAUSTING. And fun. And boring. And thilling. And frustrating. But, in a nutshell, it's memorial, memorial, cemetery, meeting, memorial interview, memorial, smithsonian, memorial, memorial, meeting, memorial memorial memorial. So, my advice is . . . . WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES. Don't be stupid like me and wear brand spanking new ones because they are "cute". They will not be cute anymore when you wake up with fat red blisters.
Anyways, the last night was fun because we all stayed up for our last night in America and drank soda and ate Bugles and took all our blankets and pillows to the elevator so we could sit and ride up and down up and down. It is very fun at 2 in the morning :)
On the flight I didn't sleep AT ALL, which sucked but I had a lot of fun taking funny pictures with friends and acting goofy because we were all so tired. Plus, they had THE HUNGER GAMES! That's right people! Lufthansa airlines let's you watch THE HUNGER GAMES! Be jealous.
Of course, I totally crashed on the train ride from Frankfurt to Hamburg. But I was really sad because my really good friend and some other friends didn't go to Hamburg with me because they were in the Aachen language camp :( I miss them, but us Hamburgers are a great group I think :)
So, I met my temporary host mother and father, they are a very nice couple living in Soltau Germany, an HOUR train ride from Hamburg (not fun to take every day) and they took me to a music festival and the market and the outlet store where I bought an antique box for only 6 euros! Boo yah!
So that's about it. I'm very happy here and I can't wait to start language camp!
Oh my gosh, crack me up! I can just picture you guys huddled in the elevator with your blankies, riding up and down all night!
