Witerwander tag...

Well, this morning was quite eventful. We woke up at the normal time of 6.20am, I got ready, had breakfast, then slowly packed my bags. Hannah and I left the house about 30 seconds earlier than Julia, but were still late to catch the train and when we were about 50 metres from the house, the train came and we had to run the whole way there... A girl held the door open for us, so we still got on. When we were on the train, Julia had realised that she forgot her ice skates... We got off the train, then Julia and I walked to school. I waited downstairs while she went to do something and then we walked down the road to the buses.

On the way, Julia's dad drove past in his work car and made a lovely scene stopping in the gravel... He gave her the ice skates and then we walked to meet our class. We stood around for a while and talked until our teacher came and called the roll and we were allowed to go on the bus. I sat near the back of the bus with Ronja. We listened to music and talked a bit. The drive to Willingen, where we were going ice skating and swimming was about 2 hours.

When we finally got there, I got to walk in quite quickly because a few of us already had ice skates. We put on our clothes and put away our bags then went ice skating. We had about 2 hours of ice skating and I went around with the girls in my class. The whole year level was there and it ended up being a lot of fun. I fell over once... That was good too...

After the 2 hours were over, we all had to head to the swimming pool, even if we didn't want to swim. About half of us sat in the cafe and the reat went in the pool for about an hour. I sat once again with some of the girls in my class and we ordered drinks and something to eat. We left at about 1.30pm to start heading back. We all paid and walked back to the bus. I sat nxt to Ronja again and listened to music, then ended up sleeping a little bit. We got back to school at 3.20pm and walked to one of the bus stops close by. Four of us caught the bus together and 3 of us got off at the train station.

We waited on the platform for about 20 minutes, it was freezing cold. Our train ended up being 5 minutes delayed. Another girl from our village waited with us and caught the train too. Julia and I walked home and I ended up sitting and knitting when we got home. Julia's mum came home and I drank coffee with her parents, then Hannah got driven to training. Julia's mum and I ended up going walking with Miak and we went around the frozen lakes. It was only short and we came home and relaxed a bit, I think I ended up doing some more knitting too. Julia's dad did homework with Paul in that time.

When it was time to pick up Hannah, I drove with Julia's dad. Along the way we spoke about fines for speeding and manual and automatic cars, then he told me about a motorcycle accident he had. We drove Hannah home and after a while, ended up having dinner. We had a little bit of left over wild pig and then ate bread. Their neighbour had given them homemade red salami, I guess you'd call it and it was also really good. We all cleaned up the table and Julia went to driving school, to leanr all of the theory. Julia's mum went horse riding and I did some more knitting then ended up going over to the riding hall and watched Julia's mum ride. I spent nearly an hour there and then we walked home. Julia's dad was watching a movie when we got home, I watched a bit while knitting then had a shower and went to bed at about 11pm.

Ice, ice skating!

I ended up watching Lord of the Rings last night with Julia's dad. It went on forever and I kept drifting off to sleep, we didn't end up finishing it because it went on past 11.30pm.
I forgot that there was a GIANT SPIDER in the movie, so that was a horrible shock.

Today I had the first 4 periods free, so I slept in until nearly 10am and then got up for school. I also got to open my advent calendar thing... I got a little santa clause magnet. :)
Julia and I caught the train to school, but the train didn't go all the way to school, so we had to catch a bus and then walk...

We got to school while the other kids were having their 20 minute break and we all waited in the classroom. We had history... The teacher is that class is a little bit weird and always seems to stare at me... We basically all wrote notes and talked while she explained something... I really don't know what...
After class, we had biology so we had to walk over to the science classrooms. We walked in and all sat down. Then some of the students talked to the teacher and told him about a basketball roundrobin that one of our classmates was in. He decided to let us go and watch the basketball instead of going to class.
There were other school there and they all played against each other. The team we were going for was winning 65 to 4...

After school, Molly and I walked to the bus stop and found Hannah. We all caught the bus and train together. We walked home and then after a while, we all ate. We had rissoles, potatoes, salad and left over macaroni cheese.
We then decided to watch a movie. Molly left to go to her boyfriend's house and Hannah and I got ready to go ice skating.

The ice skating rink in Marburg is only there during winter and it is behind the swimming pool. Everything is decorated and made to look christmas-y. It is only 4 euros to go in for as long as you want, but it is quite small. Hannah and I skated around together and after a while, one of her friends skated with us too. It was busy at first, but we ended up staying there for 4 hours and not many people were there in the end.
In Australia the ice is so wet, with puddles in it, but it is sooo hard here and it can be hard to skate on. Their were kids throwing snowballs around. Hannah and I tried to spin around in circles together, we failed and then Hannah's friend Isacc tried to spin us around, he ended up holding onto my glove and I fell to the ground... It was fun though.

When we walked out of the ice rink, it was snowing and the roads are very dangerous at the moment because it was raining earlier. We came home at 8pm and ate bread with cheese and meat. :)

Paul has been blowing up balloons since monday and he finally had enough to fill this strange mattress with balloons. You can sit on it safely, but it isn't very comfortable. Julia learnt that it doesn't work when you jump on it, the balloons pop.
