My November December picture post! To start off, I got to see my lovely Elliese again and we spent the day messing around in Hamburg and eating Kasebrodtchens and loving life, it was pretty fantastic! Glad she is doing so well here :)
The weather has recently been nothing but rain, clouds and fog.... Which can be a little depressing from time to time, but I love it so much, I'm thankful that I can be outside every day!
Birthday time! My birthday was about a month ago, so this post is a little late, but ohmygosh I'm 20 years old?!?!? Thats way too old in my opinion, but ok.... I accept it kind of.
It feels really great telling people that I'm 20 years old and having them size me up as if I'm lying about my age or something...
Thanks again to all my neighbors and family who came over and celebrated with me!
Quick pick of the Toddy man and I on my birthday morning!
And my present that I got from Tommy and Katja which is a super awesome Advents Kalendar!
Gorgeous blick of the Elbe after a wonderful breakfast with family and friends on St. Nicholas Day!
Quick lesson! St. Nick day is celebrated on the sixth of December and tradition is is that you clean your shoes, put them outside, and in the morning theres candy and awesome stuff in them!
Woo!
And the christmas tree is up!! Its so much fun to put up the tree with friends and family, two weekends ago we had a tree warming party and got this sucker up! It looks great!
Random picture of the sun being awesome after five days of rain.
And the Hamburg Weinachtsmarkt! If you want to do Christmas anywhere, do it in Germany! Christmas markets are the bomb and Hamburg's is one of the best! One of my good friends from Boise High, Deana Jackson, spent a few hours with me in Hamburg checking out almost everything there is to see in Hamburg. It was wonderful to see her and to be reminded that Boise does exsist and I'm not crazy.
We had a really gorgeous evening, had some crepes, drank some awesome Christmas alcoholic drinks (Gluhwein, which the bomb I can't really explain what it is, but its simply the most amazing winter drink ever).
Quick update, I was able to visit my first kindergarten (which actually means daycare, the grade of kindergarten doesn't really exsist in the school system) today to see if I would like to do an internship, which I would love to! I had a wonderful time with the kids, and it was great to feel like I was working again. I have another kindergarten that I'll be checking out in January thats bilingual, which is hopefully also going to be an awesome experience.
Excited for christmas and the ski vacation! Glad that things are slowly but surely coming together and before I know it, I'll be studying!!!
I wish everyone an awesome Christmas and a good slide into the New Year!
