My first day:
I can't sleep. I miss my train. I find pay phone and call my host mother to tell her I missed train. I try to call my friend that is expecting me on train I missed. I run out of coins. I ask taxi driver for change. He says no. I walk in rain to town to find Anja's work to use her phone to call my friend. I cannot find her work. I find open convenience store. I get change. I walk in rain to pay phone. I call friend's mom. I wait for train. Train comes early. I do not think it is my train because it comes early. But I ask and they say yes, it is my train. Train leaves with me on it. Isobel meets me in Busholz, my friend's sister. She puts me on another train to Harburg. I meet friends and escort in Harburg. We ride to Hamburg. We get off. We walk up. We walk down. We get on sub way. We get off sub way. We get on another sub way. We get off sub way. We walk up. We get on bus. We get off bus.
We are at school.
After school:
My friends and I go to ice cream shop. I have no money. I get no ice cream. We go to main train station. I go to ATM and take money. I feel better. We go to mall. We find good prices. We do not buy. Friend and I leave soon. We go to main train station. We cannot find train to Harburg. We find train to Harburg. We get stuck at stop for half hour. We talk.Train moves again. It comes to Harburg. We get off. We search for train to Busholz. We don't find train. We wait. We wait. We call families. Families don't pick up. We wait. We eat. We wait. We get frustrated. We look for help desk. No help desk. We find another train station across street. We go in. We realize it is the right station. We realize we have been in wrong station one hour. We laugh. We scream. We get on right train.
We get to Busholz. Friend leaves. I get on trian to Soltau. Train does not leave for much time. It moves. I do homework. I worry about worried hostparents. I get to Soltau. Anja waits for me. We hug. I tell her everything. We go home. I collapse into sleep.
It couldn't have been better :)
You are my hero!
ReplyDeleteAh Hannah...you made me laugh and yet want to cry. Something struck me funny about the way you wrote your adventures but I wanted to cry for you for the frustrations you endured! I agree, you are a hero! I would have curled into the fetal position and cried for my mommy! :)
