I've been in this household for two weeks now...
and let me tell ya.
ohmygodit'samazingican'tevenexplainit.
sorry, got excited for a second there.
Let me rewind a second.
-- At my last school, EKS, we had a little bit of a 'goodbye' thing goin on...
Couple things..
- My 6th grade Englisch Klasse had a breakfast/game hour for me... because it was our last day that we'd be together in the classroom... I even got some presents from a couple of them! voll suß :)
- My grade... 10 a b & c, went to Eissporthalle and had pretty much a chill day << literally, because we went iceskating... that was a ... well, that joke was... na... ok, so... it was really cool just hanging out with them then afterwards hanging out in the sun outside.
It honestly was a perfect send-off from Darmstadt.
I definitely miss some things of the family, and friends...and all of that, but all the memories are priceless, and I'm so glad I got to experience such different ways of life there :)
and now i'm here.
I'm now a "Maas"... and I really do feel like one!
The whole "guest" stage kind of just skipped itself...
One thing that has really made me feel at home [aside from the mom being American] is having this little sister, Clara.
Clara is absolutely adorable, and we are always playing board games together, or watching 'Glee'/'How I Met Your Mother'.... it's nothing special, but I love just being with her!
Like yesterday... she was getting sick and was all bundled up on the couch... I carried her upstairs to her room, making funny noises, kind of acting like I do with my little cousins at home...
It wasn't anything that other people would particularly remember, but those kinds of things that I do without feeling forced or awkward, are the things that really make me feel at home.

Every morning, the teacher comes in and says "Guten Morgen" (good morning)...
The whole class has to stand up, and say... I mean, SING. [I just googled a piano to see exactly what interval we sing...because it's always the same, and it's approximately C# to E... pattern being C# C# E E, E C#------) Guten Morgen, Frau Brennecke.
Every time a new teacher comes in, we repeat that... and I'm always caught off guard... just sitting reading 'The Hunger Games' then finding that everybody is about to sing.
Good news is, we had our Klasse Foto the other day, and I was laying in the middle in front of everybody looking like the model that I am.
That'll be in the YEAR BOOK :)
I'm just way cute.

BY THE WAY, there was a 'concert' at my old school that I went back to do... everybody either sang or played an instrument and whatnot... it was really fun :) Jakob and Anilu from LGG also came to see me!! ... Then afterwards, Anilu and I were hugging and almost crying just freaking out about the EuroTour........ she's my best friend in the whole world.
anyways
back to my home
I already explained what my floor is like, with my own bathroom and piano room and stuff.... I'll just let ya know, that that's really workin well for me!
I always adore this dog here... Sammy is always comin up with his little rubber chicken wanting me to play with him... and........ I do... I really do :) Every time... sometimes... cute Sammy Bear.
oooooooooookay!
oooooooooookay!
Christoph, Kristin, Clara, Kennadi.... Anton.
He's kind of the odd man out in the 'k' sounding situation...
I'd say we make a pretty sweet family :)
I'm almost bummed to be leaving them for three weeks.
