Two months down, 10 to go.

I promise I haven't forgotten you guys. I have been faithfully thinking of things to add in here nearly everyday, but then forgetting to add them. but to begin let me tell you, I have been having a blast in school. My math teacher has me teach the class math in English sometimes, and it's so much fun, but today I had an even cooler experience, I was in the first class (first class=fifth grade) and their english teacher was gone, so they had a substitute (substitutes aren't very common, often there is just no class, and teachers are ALWAYS late to class, it'S so differen't from home) The substitute was my math teacher so she knew me, and she saw that I was making an origami flapping bird so she decided to have me teach the class how to fold one. That was really probably the most fun I had had so far in school. And many of the kids were even able to finish it. In german it was a challenge for me though.

One more thing till tomorrow, My school has it'S softdrinks and things provided by Rieder beer. So every Monday morning there is a beer truck parked outside fo the school, a sight which I will never cease to find amusing. And which is so different from what would happen in America, because, I know 100 parents would have a cow if there was a beer truck parked in front of Westside.

Well that'S it for now, till tomorrow ^^

A beer truck in front of Westside . . . I can just imagine it: the drinking kids are euphoric, the parents are apoplectic. That'd be so much fun to witness.

That's so cool you taught the class how to fold origami! I'm happy for you.

Love,
