First days in Germany

When I say Germany is the land of castles, spätzle and beer, I'm not kidding. Beer here is cheaper than soda, and there's actually a law about how there has to be a drink cheaper than beer. Then spätzle is everywhere too! After a year of it, I might get sick of it but so far I'm still enjoying it. I've been to so many castles I don't want to see another one. They're extremely pretty and I'd love to live in one, but after a month with my family then two weeks of "organized activities," which include castles, I'm good for awhile. These past two weeks have been weird. I love being with other kids my age, and learning German has been interesting and helpful but I still expect to see my parents and brother soon. A normal day now consists of waking up, having a typical European breakfast of toast with Nutella (which I'm already sick of), raspberry jam and butter with coffee (or Kaffee). Then we catch the bus at 8:30, get to school by 9, and have class until 10:30. Then there's a break and class resumes at 11 until 12:30. After class, there's about an hour of free time until the activity which varies from castles to monuments to visiting towns. Today we left Wiesbaden in the morning to visit a small village called Limburg. They put us in paddle boats and told us to paddle around for an hour.....now just imagine a whole bunch of teenagers in small boats ramming into each other. However, I enjoyed it and the view of the town and cathedral was really pretty.
Learning German is exhausting. It's amazing that I can understand the majority of it and I'm slowly beginning to speak it. I think I'm so motivated to learn it so I can speak to my little sister, Emmi, who's three and knows no English. I go to my host family Friday and I can't wait! Even though I miss the states, my friends, family and cat I know it'll be an amazing experience and I can't wait to be settled in Bonn!
