Orientation Number Two (or three?)

This weekend we had orientation number two... or three, I am not sure if I should count Paris or not?

Well, most of the exchange students from around the Berlin area took the 2.5 hour train ride together, but since my counselor had bought the Fürstenwalde exchange students tickets separately we left two hours later. Luckily for one newbie who missed his train earlier we were there so we could ride together later.

The train out to Greifswald was packed! Me and the newbie from Australien squeezed kitty-corner into a two facing two seater. I was talking to him in Englisch and this lady across from me suddenly rudely says in German "You are in Germany, I don't understand why you speak Englisch with this boy it is obvious he speaks German. You should speak German! That is so dumb!" It was one of those moments when you just pretend that you understand German lol :)

There was another distrikt along with ours at this orientation, D1890 I think from North in the Hamburg area. Total, I believe there were 120 exchange students! It was so great to see everybody again and I was really hoping that there would maybe be an exchange student in the other district from Minnesota, but sadly there wasn't :(

On Saturday we went to a nuclear power plant I think. It was kind of confusing because the whole tour was given in German, but it was still pretty cool. That night we had a dance in one of the dining halls. I love orientation weekend (: I am pretty sad because we don't exactly have another orientation after this last one. Of course there's the Europareise but after that my exchange is basically over! I'm avoiding thinking about that...
