The Carrot -Eating Trend

This post is dedicated to my two best friends back in New Jersey especially because of the religion thingy I wrote about.

Also, a lot of girls really like eating carrots here. Like they randomly take out a really big carrot and just eat it.

So today is my two month mark. What do I feel? I feel like woah. What I mean is that two months is a lot but at the same time if feels like these two months just flew by. For example it feels like I've been going to school for an eternity.

Speaking of school. Things are insanely better. For one I couldn't care less where my betreuerin goes and talks to because I finally have friends!

So just a run down of all the important school things. In German class my teacher said he was going to help me with any German that I was learning all I needed to do was buy the workbook. It seems to be test weeks and I had to take the religion test. I had a different one, but either way if you knew how religious I was you'd know how many question I got right. None.

A note about my religion class. My religion teacher is a woman, but she looks just like Severus Snape. I'm not kidding. Like just the face, not including her hair and pink glasses, she's exactly like him. And then there's this dude that sits two seats away from me and he's like a combination of Cedric Diggory and Harry Potter. Kinda like a classy nerd, but still a nerd. And then his friend who sits next to him has a stupid- looking kind of face so it's like Harry/Cedric and Ron! Every time I'm in that class it's like Harry Potter reruns in my head. It doesn't help that I'm not interested in this class that these people remind me so much of Harry Potter, because then I don't even pay attention and the teacher(Snape) insists that I participate even though I have not so elaborate German.

As miraculous as it may seem I love my math teacher. He's just so cool. Always wears cargos and teaches at a nice pace and always makes sure I understand. In Politics and Economy (abbreviated PoWi) they had a test and fortunately I didn't have to take that. The test I did try to take was Chemistry and I only answered three out of twenty-five questions. The teacher was very happy. I also had sport on Tuesday and I have volleyball.

I am a fencer. I do not play with balls. I wasn't really bad, but I was bad. But I knew some people in my class so I wasn't standing off to the side like a complete loner, and the best part was I had someone to laugh with when I did something seriously embarrassing.

In english class I'm like teacher number two. The teacher always expects me to say something, and not only that but a lot of the kids ask me sometimes if it's correct to say certain things. I've even made some friends this way because when they have oral presentation they nervously glance my way to see if they got the pronunciation right and I'll give them a small thumbs up. Also they're really interested in hearing about my school. They think really cool despite how different it is.

I switched the shitty music class for a more interesting art class. The thing is I looooooooove music in a way that's almost unimaginable. The music class I took is really, really slow. The teacher sits at a drum set with one drum stick and repeatedly hits it at a steady slow beat and we have to clap to it in the same steady slow beat. It's boring as hell. I already know how to play four instruments almost five. But I've already taken an art class in my freshman year and when they started dissecting the picture on the board (describing colors, shades, positions, lighting, angles, gestures, facial expressions if any, etc.) I knew exactly what to do. Plus the teacher is really cool.

Today we had history and even though I have no idea what going on in this class the teacher put us into groups and made us work together. There were really cool people in my group and we had some fun but also finished early. Tomorrow I have a short day and afterward I'm going to spend the day with Ana and Ploi (AFSers).

Even though I have pretty good friends in school now and people remember my name and ask for my help I'm not exactly in the "let's hang out" phase yet.
