I have officially been in Germany for a whole month! Is that not crazy? Time has gone by so fast, but im loving every minute of it :) 

This week 15 kids from Finland came for a short 10 day exchange in our school! Its really cool, because my host dad is the director of it, so in the Spring, I get to go to Finland for 10 days! An exchange in an exchange! I get to do everything with the Finnish kids because all of their tours are in English :D On Wednesday they arrived, Thursday we went on a guided tour of Goslar (the village where my school is located) and on Friday they went to Autostadt, a car town. I didn't get to participate in that because I was leaving for my first Rotex weekend! Rotex weekends are organized by the exchange students from Germany who came back and became Rotex. We all sleep in a school gym, do an activity in the town we are in, and party :D So I left school early on Friday to catch my train to Wunstorf, the place of the Rotex weekend. It's about a 1:30 hour ride. Once we got there, it was so good to see everyone again! I love all the inbounds :)) Friday night we had our first party, and I danced and danced and danced.. I am an awful dancer compared to all the South Americans ;) We went to bed around 2 am... It was a great night :D 

Saturday morning we had to wake up at 7! I wasn't tired surprisingly.... We went on a boat tour in a lake where there was a very old fortress on an island.. I thought it was pretty cool! The weather was so cold! I had to wear two jackets over my sweater and a scarf, but I was still cold! Its only September D: lol! That night was the costume party, with the theme "from the sea" so of course me being me, I wanted to go as a mermaid! I made my costume from scratch and didnt spend a penny :D it was awesome! Yet again, we all danced the night away!! 

My mermaid costume and Carla from Argentina who is also living in my family :))

On the island in the lake :)

 Sunday we all said our goodbyes and returned home. Carla and I stayed a few hours in Hannover (the biggest city near us).  All the shops are closed on Sundays, but a couple of the other echange students stayed too, so we just laid in a public park thing. It was actually nice outside! When we got home, I was so tired from all the dancing, traveling and good times, I ate dinner and went straight to bed! 

WHAT DO I HAVE PLANNED FOR THIS WEEK?

Later today I am going bowling with the Finnish exchange students and tomorrow we are going to Braunsweig, and doing a tour there :) Maybe we will get to do a little shopping? ;) 

Also, this weekend I am going to Munich for the Oktoberfest!! I am so excited! I am going to start looking for a dirndl (the typical german dress that everyone knows) and hopefully I find one for a decent price! :D
