Thats the date I'm coming home...6.51pm in the sac int airport. and this time only 3 flights thank goodness...no detroit this time woohoo!

sorry...im busy....

OK i havent posted because I have been busy and haven't had that time to post, to be honest. I am in the middle of preparing for my Eurotour, which is in SEVEN days!!! I have to do a presentation in german on Cote d'azur, which is in southern france, on the tour...so i gotta get hoppin on that. And I have sort of planning a trip to Berlin with some buddies, and we have to get it done ASAP in order to get the youth hostel booked. (oooh im excited!) That should be fun! in the beginning of June sometime. And aside from that I was gone from friday to sunday. Friday was my schools ski day, in Switzerland, so that was awesoem...I managed to crash very painfully on my last run, going to fast on a too mogully run...and landed sort of on my forehead and shoulder...therefore for about 30 hours i couldnt lift my arm more than 6 inches and little cuts on my forehead and eyelid. No biggy tho hehe And then right when I got back to Säckingen I took off to Bonndorf, a little town just a ways from where i live we rotary had a youth hostel for us for the weekend. We werent all the exchange students from this district, they couldnt all make it, but there are some new ones (south africa, zimbabwe, and new zealand...AWESOME accent! we just chilled and had snowball fights and ashley and i worked out and did tai bo and i ran into a door k´nob and got a really gnarly bruise on my love handle! it hurt soooo bad, so someone went and got me snow and put it in a bag and i rested it on my love handle, but then it got to cold and so then there was a little snow flying around inside...dont worry we cleaned it up. i have had a cold for almost 2 weeks now and my voice was absolutely butchered after friday night...it was richtig kaputt. my german is really getting cool now im proud of myself. well ja i think thats about all oh and there is no longer 5 feet of snow...it rained so it sunk about a foot, then snowed another 6inches on weekend, but the suns been shining (thank mother nature...) and so its melting! JA! well the thing isnt letting me post anymore pics, so thats me and ashley being weird in bed taking weird pics and then morgan and i after a snow fight...they are both from british colombia!

hey....look

I posted.

snow and snow and snow and snow, WHATS THIS ITS MARCH ALREADY....should NOT BE SNOWING SO MUCH I AM SICK OF IT WHY WONT IT STOP IT JUST KEEPS COMING..

i made that title as long as i could to emphasize my point. sure, i was happy on november 25th or whatever when it snowed for the first time, but now i am very angry with mother nature. she must be mad at all the exchange students in germany that come from snowless areas (ie, south america (except those from the peaks of the Andes mountains), mexico, california, oklahoma, thailand, south usa, a lot of japan, france on the coast, new zealand, south africa, zimbabwe, all of afica, india, the list goes on.....), and so she is dumping a years worth of snow ontop of germany less than 3 weeks before the beginning of spring!!!! its been snowing on and off, almost nonstop, since last friday, so yes, thats a week...and i look out my window at the side yard and with my measurments, it appears to be about 3 1/2 feet of snow. probably 3/4 of it is new. it rained a wee bit last night as the temperatures decided to rise a little (although i was in freiburg for the day, where it was pretty, snowless, a bit sunny, spring windy, an 12° celcius...a dream.....), and so the snow lowered about an inch. but thats it. and its still snowing....the banks on the side of the road are taller than i am, and as is the pathway from the back door to the other driveway to the house....shovellin snow and just piling it up along the pathway makes for a very tall bank...above my head...i hate the snow.

pray for me. make it stop snowing. right now i just want rain rain rain rain rain that will make the snow go away fast.,....warm rain...and then i can go running, outside, and maybe even frolick in green fields!!!!
