Friday Friday

I have decided that I will spare you all the mundane details of my life and just post every few days. Or maybe I'm just too lazy to post everyday!

Nothing too exciting happened on Wednesday and Thursday except for:
- In my German class there are people from all over the world: America :-), Africa, China,  Cuba, Taiwan, Poland, Romania, etc. Most of them speak English but a few of them do not. The miscommunications that occur during the three hour sessions each day are hilarious. For example, my teacher, who is about 8 months pregnant, was talking about her doctors appointment (or at least I think because this was all in German) to the lady from Taiwan, Jeanette, who happens to speak perfect English because she lived in the states for over 10 years. So, our teacher was telling her how much the baby weighs as of now but Jeanette got confused with the pound and kilo difference and thought that our teacher said something along the lines of 10 pounds. It was very confusing for everyone but also very funny.
-On Thursday we were suppose to have practice but we decided to have a team dinner instead due to the rain. However, it was only lightly sprinkling, definitely not enough to cause any problems. This is not D1. Ha!

Fridayyyy:
Today was great! I went to my last German class before the holiday (I get two weeks off). After class, I rode the train to Haar to meet with everyone for our club's annual BBQ. I met up with Mandy and Nils (my new friend on the baseball team) and watched the U16 team take on a mix of older and younger boys. It was interesting. We were all starving so before the game finished we headed over to the tent where they were making food. I got a steak!!, potato salad, noodles, 2 egg rolls, bread, dessert, and a beer for only 5 euro. What a deal! Everything was delicious but I was so full :-) After we ate, we watched the Alumni Slowpitch game. Some of the older guys looked like they were straight out of the 80s and they played with the intensity of major leaguers. Very entertaining! haha  Towards the end of the BBQ my host family came and met some of the people in my club. I'm turning them into softball nuts !

I also learned a very important phrase today: Ich liebe Schokolade which means I love chocolate :-)

I have to work a camp for the next three days from 8-5 each day. 130 kids. On that note, Gute Nacht!
