Minimal school is the best.

My sleep in was wonderful this morning, even though I decided to wake up at 9am to shower anyway. I had my lovely warm shower, go all my things ready for school and went downstairs, still with about an hour before I had to leave for the train. I made myself some breakfast and sat at the table relaxing. Julia's dad was sitting with me and we talked for a while until Julia's mum came home and then I helped her put away all of the grocery shopping before hurrying to the train. Julai was already at school, but I had the first 4 periods free becuase both my politics and english teachers were away. I caughte the train to school and then walked from the train station. I went and checked the class timetables in the main area and then found some of the kids in my class and sat with them until the break began.

When the break began, we walked upstairs and I went into my classroom. Julia was already there and I few other people too. The class soon filled up, our Religion teacher came in and then break was over. Our teacher passed around different objects from Eygpt anf people had to talk about them as they went around. Then she gave us a hand out sheet about teh Coptic Orthodox Church... I had no idea what that was before, but it is the largest Christian Church in Eygpt. The head of the Church is co0ming to the school in Febuary, so she decided to inform us. She also took everyone out of the class during the lesson and talked to them about their marks.

After 90 minutes of school, I got to leave and go home. Julia and I walked to the train station and then met one of our friends there. We caught the train together, met some more friends on the train and then walked home. As soon as we got home, we ate together. Hannah wasn't there, but we had pasta with vegetables and then yoghurt with berries for dessert. Julia's mum went to pick up Hannah and the rest of us hung around home. We watched TV for a little bit and I did some knitting. When Hannah and Julia's mum came home, we talked a bit and sat together, then Julia's oma came to pick me up to go frame shopping.

Hannah got driven to training, then we left to go near Maburg to OBI and buy a frame for the Christmas present Julia's Oma got me. We looked through all of the frames and finally decided on a nice dark wooden one. We paid and walked back to the car, then drove home. She dropped me off and I put my art work in it's frame.

Paul got home from Karate when I got home, and we played inside together for a while. Julia's mum got home from taking Hannah to training, Julia left for training... (It's all a bit busy...) Then we watched some TV together. I went with Julia's dad to buy drinks, so we loaded up the car with empty bottles and drove into Cölbe. The car ride was quite funny becuase of the narrow streets in the village, cars always get stuck and have to reverse. We bought all of the drinks and put them back into the car and drove home.

When we got home, Julia's parents went to feed the horses and I played with Paul. We got a call from Hannah and I had to run over to the horses to tell Julia's mum when to pick her up. She went to pick up Julia and Hannah, then the rest of us watched Bonanza together. I got the table set and all of food out for dinner, so we could eat when everyone got home. We finished watching the episode of Bonanza and then sat at the table together to eat. I got to have some yummy leberwurst, then I spent a while talking to Julia's parents about the cost of living in Germany and Australia. It's always an interesting topic, petrol is expensive, but food is cheap compared to Australia. It's good topic to talk about. Hannah tried to decide on a new piano teacher, and then we all listened to her play paino for a while.

Paul went to bed and eventually, so did everyone else.
