Multi-Culti

Last night we had a Multi-Cultural fest. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!! We had tons of food like Chinese chicken salad, Scones, Tequeras, and of course my Apfle Strudel! it was so yummy! We played games like this hand slapping game from Korea and my hands were SUPER red from in but it was still fun :) We also played Topf Schlag. Where you hide the bowl with candy and you have to guide the person to the bowl. I probably played it wrong but its how I remembered. I got to wear my dirndl and people looked at me funny that was funny. After that I spent about an hour speaking just German and no one could understand me. We also had one person speaking Korean and one person speaking Spanish. We all could not understand each other but we still stood in a circle and spoke our second language :) it was so funny. I don't remember how it feels not to be able to understand German, so when I spoke to my roommate in German and she laughed and said I have no idea what you said it kind of blew my mind. I'm so used to being around people who can understand German it still feels weird being around people who don't. I guess I'll just have to get used to it.


Well time to skedaddle back to class. Ta Ta for now

Lets Do This

Recently I have seen blogs everywhere and I decided my life is unique why don't I blog about it.  Today for example was funny. At church I was asked to give the prayer. As soon as my roommates heard about it they went crazy and started to tell me to say it in German. I was not sure about but I did and as per usual when I finished there was a mumble in the crowed. "what language was that?" "Does she speak English?" etc.... the people that knew me answered the questions laughing. I sometimes wish German was like Spanish. Then no one would care if I spoke German because everyone else could speak it too. Well I guess that's what makes me different. I'm unique in the fact I can speak German. I am special.
 Last week I found the awesome German speakers in the MC (the cafeteria on campus)  and that was GREAT!!!! I got to speak German and I missed it so much! I have realized lately that German has become like an addiction for me, like caffeine or drugs or something I crave it. Some days ill think in German just to make sure I have not forgoten it. These people defiantly satisfied my craving. We played a game that was fun I don't remember what its called but it was with cards and I lost a lot but it was still great :) I want to go every week. Its an amazing thing :D Ich liebe Deutschland!




Time to go live life.
