Ich verstehe German!

Okay, that was a lie. I only somewhat understand German. While I was stuck taking Spanish all my friends (all my friends that I hang out with and talk to on a regular basis) took German, the language I wanted to take. My mom made me take Spanish on the basis that in America it's more practical. The thing is, I want to move to Europe where knowing German is probably more practical. I've wanted to move there since I was in eighth grade. Plus I suck at Spanish. No matter what I do, I just am not that good at it. No entiendo Espanol. Okay, that's also a lie, but you get what I'm saying!!

When they feel like being butts they'll start speaking German to each other, so I wind up sitting there going "I hate you guys" and speaking to myself in horrible Spanish. I just want to say something, I don't hate the Spanish language, I just don't understand it for some reason. I also can't pronounce most of the words because they have 'r's in them and I have trouble with 'r's.

From them I have actually picked up some German though, such as "Hast du den verstan verloren?" "Ich weiss nicht" "Bitte" "Danke" "Was ist das?" "Nein" "Kein", you know, some random stuff. I also tend to hang out in the German room when I'm at the high school Frau doesn't care that I'm there as long as I don't disrupt and aren't missing class. I'm pretty sure I'm in German more than I'm in Spanish. I'm also pretty sure I know more German than Spanish.

I have this friend Max, he was an exchange student from Germany last year and well....we're getting married. Once he finally accepts my marriage proposal that is. He keeps rejecting it fr some reason!! Maybe I should wait until he's not in a relationship....I wonder if that'd help. The only problem is he wants to live in America and I want to live in Germany. With problems like that our marriage might not last long....that and the fact that we're just bromates.  Ya....maybe I should rethink this whole marriage thing....

The reason I'm writing all this is because I wanted to tell you that I'm learning German! Like actually learning the language. My friend Patrick got a new Ipod so he gave me his old one and I downloaded a German tutor app thingymagig. I've mastered the basic phrases and am now working my way through stuff in the home, which is way more difficult for some reason.

My friend Sara's been helping by holding conversations with me in German. It's day four and I'm somewhat almost  understanding things! Yippee!! I even know some words that Sara didn't know and she's in German 3! It's more of a German 4 actually. The school as added this advanced German class and so my friends just kind of skipped German 3. I guess next year they'd take German 5??
Sara. Btw, she is now 17!!! (credit-Autumn)
I hope you enjoyed this rather random post!!!

I GOT A JOB

So in my last post I talked about how I was thinking about doing a home baking thing. I went to the Armory to give Sergeant Nelson a cupcake. Side note: A couple weeks ago I had made cupcakes and brought some over for the guys but he hadn't been there that day and therefor didn't get any, which is why I brought one today since I had baked this weekend. Side-side note: They were maple pancake cupcakes with maple butter cream frosting. All homemade. He was in a meeting so I was waiting in the, I don't know, building entrance area(?) I met this woman who was waiting for a her meeting. Side note: Turns out that due to weather her meeting had been canceled and she just hadn't been told. We started talking and she told me that she was here to talk about a party for the US that she was planning for Sunday the weekend before the fourth. So we got to talking about and she was telling me about what food she was thinking of and, I kid you not, a lig...

How Rude!

Mother Nature must be in a terrible mood. Just today we've gotten 5-8 inches with more to come tonight. Wait a second *runs to window* fat flakes are still falling from the sky! Maybe I'll just keep this short and go skiing instead... Nothing special really happened today, but there was something that I wanted to share. I just can't remember what it was...I'll remember later! Well I found out that I won't be able to go tomorrow. It;s a real bummer cause I was really looking forwards to it. I mean really looking forward to it. I was so excited I couldn't sit in class! The fact that it's now an impossibility brings a sadness to my life. It'll pass by Saturday and it's not a true sadness. It's more of the fact that I can feel this great chance at something I might never get to do again, at meeting my idol, passing me by.  Oh well. Life's full of opportunity. Maybe one day this chance will come again and I'll be able to take full advantage ...

Random bits and pieces of stuff

WARNING: There are a lot of pictures While biking with Nick we stopped at the Continental divide, and as we stood there trying to figure out how to tell the other that we should turn back this bike adventure hurts, we heard some snowmobilers. The sound alone was enough for Nick to launch into a rant about snowmobilers, who he, I now know, hates. Well they came up behind us and crossed the road a few feet away from where we were. For some reason there was a large group of them too, I mean since when do they don things in groups? Anyways, as soon as Nick says "They're a bunch of d**ches!" the biggest one goes by. He stops, shuts off the snowmobile and starts walking towards us. We freaked out! I was thinking "Holy fudge knuckles! He heard him!!!", just as Nick says,"Let's go South!" We headed South. Fast. The reason we went South was because it's take us away from the snowmobiler, and farther away from town. That's the reason we kept going,...
