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!!!

Fun?

I was invited to go to a party. By a senior. BOO-YA!! So Jake and I went. We all mat at the basketball game Side note: We won, after going into overtime and almost a second overtime! The boys  are now going on to either section finals or section quarters.  Then we all went bowling, which hurt my ankle, so that now this morning it's all in a fit. We bowled until 11pm and then went back to Sidney's house were Spencer asked Marly to prom! Aww. There was a huge banner and everything! Once things called down everyone  headed in for food, well Jake, Kali and I already had. Hehehee. How does Cathy manage to make everything taste so good? We played Dance Dance Revolution 4, messed with each other and ate food. Jake and I should never play Dance Dance. We're not the best and look awkward. The entire time I missed my "group", my close friends, the one's who know me, who I actually hang out with. I normally don't hang out with the people who were there, some of them ...

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...

I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND

This is a long one. I need input. Also writing this on metaphorical paper might help me think things through. So once again, there's a boy. Which makes it sound like there have been a lot of boys but there really hasn't been....anyways... There's this boy. He's like perfect. He runs, he skis, he enjoys long hikes through the mountains, he somewhat bikes, astrophysics is a hobby of his, he enjoys laying out and looking at the stars, etc. etc. He's like the male version of me, but taller, and stronger, and not awkward, and attractive. I mean seriously he even watched the Steven Hawkins videos on Netflix, which I also watched and led to an interesting conversation. But I'm getting ahead of myself... Let's start from the beginning. So the first time I met him was at a cross country meet (the Little Falls meet, it was his first).Autumn, Sara and I were trying to do homework a little ways away from the rest of the team (and everyone else), but Will and Hans ke...
