So, life in Germany so far has been pretty cool. Although it hasn't snowed again yet, there was frost on the road this morning, which is a good sign.
And I guess I will write about school again, because that is bascially all i've done.
So German schools are similar in some ways, but there is one difference that is kind-of weird. I don't know about other schools, but at Anja's, in year 11 you have to choose a 'profile' (pronounced pro-feel), and for 2 days a week, you have a certain set of classes that you can't choose. Anja does her profile days at a different school, and because I hadn\t chosen mine yet, I had to go with her. So, after a short dentist trip (for Anja, not me), we headed off to school. First was theatre, where they practised a scene for a play. Although it was interesting, I had nothing to do so it was a bisschen (little bit) boring. Then, we rode our bikes to anotehr building for her next class. It was a free so I worked on some of my homeowrk, then we went to the bakery. At the bakery is where I bought heaven on earth, otherwise known as Franzbrötchen. It's a pastry only made in Hamburg, and it's like a cinnamon roll, but different. Then, it was back to school for another lesson and home, and lunch. And you'll never guess what lunch was. It was pancakes - legit, maple syrup, cinnamon sugar, full of sugar, pancakes. After homework, Anja and I headed over to one of her friend's houses to work on an assignement. I managed to help by cutting up paper for the DNA model, then making a pipe-cleaner family from the scraps.
It was about 9 by the time we got home, and it was dinner time. Thankfully dinner is onlt bread and cheese, but it still feels weird eating so late. Und dann, Bett.
Today we were back at the normal school, and first thing was fixing up my timetable. I've ended up with a mish-mash of subjects, with year 11 classes with Anja, year 10 german and politics, and a year 12 history class. It should be fun to try.
Matthew joined me in German first thing, and yet again I didn't understand a thing. We then had a free period - in the cafferteria - and Matthew, some random German guy, and I spoke politics and australian slang the whole time. Well, appart from the part where Matthew tried to vote in a referendum. Then physics, where they are doing a subject I did last term. The good thing is that means I can compare what I already know to the german, making it much easier to understand. After physics was a Pause, then geography, where I completed my german physisch homework. Then, bike, home, lunch, and homework, i.e now. Later tonight we will be going to see 'Tribute von Panem' - hunger games. Until then, bye!
Thanks Harry these are fantastic xx
