Back in Neckarsulm.....

June 11, 2009

As I stumbled off of the plane with my carry on bag all I could think of was "i wonder who's waiting for me...." After following baggage claim signs for about 10 minutes I finally found my suitcases and got them on a luggage cart. A short stop to exchange money(stupid! $50 was only 25 euro!) and a few passport checks later I headed through the door to find out who was waiting for me!! It was Heike and her parents!! i was so excited to see them again!!! We headed to the car and got everything loaded and then headed home... i was so tired the car ride seemed to last forever!!! We finally made it to Heike's and we unloaded all of my stuff from the car and up to my room. By this time we were all so tired because Heike and her parents had woke up early and so we tooka nap. it was so nice to be back in my old room!!! I slept so well and then when i woke up we ate lunch!! I love German fod!!! It was so great to be back in Neckarsulm again!!! :) I had to make sure everyone knew I got here ok so after lunch I got online for a few minutes and emailed my family!! I went and cleaned up some and when I got done and went down stairs, Heike's friends were there waiting! It was so great to see them all again!!!! I love her friends!!! We had waffels and just talked... or more so they talked. Not gonna lie, I did feel a little stupid and homesick just because they were speaking German almost the whole time and I didn't understand them, but hey, I don't expect them to speak English for me since I'm in Germany.... It made me miss my friends back home but it was really great to just be with them again even if I didn't understand everything.

after they all left, Heike and I went and sat in her room and looked at her Exchange scrapbooks, and then pictures on my lap top. I love pictures!!! :) :)

Today was so great!!! We woke up and got ready for school and I got to eat yummy yogurt again!! :) :) Heike's mom took us to school which was nice cuz I was still tired and didn't think i would make it on the bike!! :) As we started walking through the school yard i saw isi, one of the german girls from the exchange and I waved to her but she just stared at me for a few minutes and so we kept walking. then suddenly I heard "AHHHH! CAMI!!" and Isi and finally realized who I was!! I laughed so hard because it was really funny!! Heike and I headed to her Chemistry class after I talked to Isi for a few minutes and I saw Carolin!! we didn't get to talk for too long cuz we here headed to class but that's ok cuz after Chemistry heike had math and i didn't want to go(her math teacher is mean and scares me) and caro had like a job fest assembly thing that she didn't want to go to so we sluffed together and just sat at some tables in a hall and talked!! it was so great to et caught up with everything!!

It was so funny during the breaks between classes I'd go out to the school yard and soon I'd have this group of exchange kids all just standing around me talking to me! I wish I had got to see them all, but I'm glad I saw as many as I did!! I missed them all so much! and I'll have a lot of opportunities to see them all!!

after school Heike, her friend Lonne and I went in to town and went to Härdtner, the bakery heike and all her friends work at. I got a yummy sandwich and then we headed to theater club. It was really funny to watch the practice in German and cool I could understand a bit better than the night before.

When theater club was over Heike Lonne and I went to the bus stop to wait for the bus to Amorbach. we were just sitting there when we heard someone call "heike...." but we couldn't see who it was. then we heard "Lonne...." and looked and a girl from their class was sticking her head out of a taxi. she was riding with her friend who had got a taxi for her birthday(yeah i'm not POSITIVE why because i was a little confused but I think her dad drives taxi so he got her one for her birthday as well) so anyway... they gave us a ride to Amorbach and Heike and I just chilled all day until about 7 when we went down stairs to look at pictures of heike when she was small to pass the time until Bob and Hennie(some of heikes friends) got to her house so we could watch a movie. heike was so cute!! i mean, she still is but she was an adorable little girl!!! :) :) she's changed so much!! OH! and did I say she has short blond hair now?!?! yeah weird huh!? it's cute though!! just really different!!
so we watched this stupid movie and then just talked until Hennie and Bob left.

Then I called my mom and talked to her and it was so great to talk to her again! I thought I would get really homesick talking to her, but I didn't so that was really nice!! By this point i was about ready to fall over from exhaustion so i went finally got some sleep!! :)
