Counting the days

Right now I am counting the days til I am back in Germany. Don't get me wrong, I really like it here, but there are of course a few things that I don't like that much or that are just different in Germany. And after almost 10 month (!!) you get a little exhausted, especially during summer vacation when you take care of the kids the whole day. Of course they have some summer activities, but I still have to be creative with them and do a lot of stuff with them so they won't get bored. But I am really thankful that I have so sweet girls. I really like hanging out with them, play with them in the pool or at home etc, but at the end of the day I am glad to be off :)
But the last couple weeks were really exhausting. Working 9-10 hours, then college til 8 or so and then I am really tired. Sometimes I meet up with some friends, but to be honest I just like having some Jessie-time where I can just do what I want. For example, I just started reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels. People who know me, know that I love the TV show "True Blood" which is based on those novels.
College will end next week, finally...been driving a lot what means paying a lot for gas. Well of course not as much as in Germany, but still....
I hope I will have some news about my job as a teacher soon. Kind of exited, but also scared. Wonder if I can still handle the german grammar and spelling...Maybe I should start writing this blog in german again?! No, don't think so...
Well that's what's going on right now, told you I will not write about real personal stuff anymore ;)

Today is July 23rd what means it's only 74 day until I go back to good old Germany

my life boring??ähhhm nooooo

I decided not to write any more personal and for me really important stuff here cause it is kind of private and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But let me tell u one thing. There is a lot going on right now and when I tell people, they r like "OMG ur life is a freaking soap opera!" Lol. It's crazy...well it's only 3 more month left and then I will hopefully have a normal life again :) I sent my flight request form last week and I will probably go home October 5th. I will hopefully have enough time to find an appartment, get settled and visit my friends before my teacher job will start in November 1st...We'll see
 

Update July 1.0

Allright lets see what happened since the last time I updated my blog...Hmm I was hanging out a lot with my friends, well after collge classes that actually started a few weeks ago. They are ok. One of my classes is kind of boring and I don't really learn something new, but it's ok. Gonna have midterm next monday and have to "study" a little bit for it this weekend. I also have to write a paper about a health issue. I chose "anorexia nervosa" cause it is always up to date and it effects a lot of people.
Ma basketball class is really cool. We r like 4 girls in that class and most of the time we r playing and of course working on our skills. Last class I jammed my finger, so it is swollen and blue now, but it is not the first time that that is happening to me so I know how to tape it etc.

Last weekend, from thursday til tuesday, two of my friends and me drove to Wisconsin to visit a friend and spend time in her parents summer cabin. It took us 8 or 9 hours to get there and we were driving through the night so we arrived early in the morning. We slept for a few hours, had a wonderful american breakfast and then packed the boat and the jet-skis and enjoyed the beautiful weather, the lake, friends and drinks :) I felt like in paradise. Nothing to worry, just realaxing and getting tannedd :D
So that's what we did most of the time. Sleeping, getting up, getting ready for the day, spending the day on/in the water, having drinks, a lot of fun with the jet-skis, tubing, wakeboarding( I tried it for the first time in my life. It is really hard, but I got up for a couple seconds :) ) swimming, playing in the water...so it was just AWESOME!!
On 4th of July there was that huge firework and we enjoyed it on the boat with my friends, family and even more friends :) Really cool

The way back to Michigan took like forever cause there was looooots of traffic and we were stuck at Cicago for about 3 hours. So we got home after midnight. Good thing I didn't have to start working before 9am :)
So now the usual dayly routine started again. Working, college, friends, studying or bed. So I always can't wait for the weekend and for sleeping in :)
