February!

Hey guys! So it's been a solid two weeks since my last post, that's because over our winter holidays my computer completely just stopped working. It took a while but I finally got it to a friend of my host moms who managed to fix it this morning, and I am so completely happy!

There hasn't really been a lot blog-worthy stuff that's happened since my second ski trip in Austria. Our newbie arrived in Berlin this morning, and I am pretty sure Andrea, Paola, and I are going to meet her tomorrow. This last weekend I met a newbie from Argentina and he had brought Mate to Germany. Mate is similar to green tea (they will tell you its definitely NOT the same) although it is loose in the cup and the straw is special. I first heard about it from some Brazilian exchange students back in the US when they were presenting about their country, and now I have finally gotten to try it!


Ah, my friend Jonah and I were in the park one day when we found Cattails! I was so impressed. However, I still can't figure out where they came from since there were no marshes around... I'm guessing someone must have dumped them there. Unfortunately I forgot how bad they stick to your clothes until we started playing with them haha.



Today I was at Hauptbahnhof and outside of McDonalds they hard this going to raise awareness for blind people - specifically in the train stations. They had a little obstacle course they would speak you through while you were blindfolded. When I was finished I was mostly proud that I'd understood the German instructions!


On the 25th I'm going to an LMFAO concert! I am so crazy excited! The tickets were only €23 so how could I not (:
