Diane’s World

Hello world!The reason I chose sonny and cher’s “I’ve got you babe” to be the song of the week, is because for some reason I chose for this song to be my alarm every morning. It makes me laugh. Yes, Random. Oh I love it.

Anyways

I have survived one full week in Germany.

My dad has ordered me (in German) to take pictures of my time here. So I brought a camera with me today.

Every morning, I ride this to school

And I arrive here and attempt to find breakfast and coffee:

Believe me, its quite exciting.

I forgot to take a picture of the building that contains my school, but here is my main teacher and my Chinese classmate I think her name is Kyeong Jin… or Mah Jong… (we have the hardest time pronouncing the asian names ).

I have two other teachers for classes that I chose to take, although I don’t have pictures. Between listening/writing and grammar, I chose grammar (because I’m really bad at it) and between hearing/speaking and writing I chose hearing/speaking. I have different classmates in those two classes.

I have actually managed to make a couple of friends. This is me, Andréa (from Brazil) and Naritha (she comes from Thailand). They are very silly.

Also, these two are both Germans that work at the Goethe insitut. Sascha’s job is to make sure that we students have enough culture activities (he is a Zivis) and Bernard’s job is to stuff envelopes (yes, I have made much fun of him for this ). Left is Sascha, and right is Bernard. There is one more Zivis- Christopher, but today was his day off so I didn’t get a picture of him. Zivis pretty much have a cultural activity planned for us every day we are here.

oh and I took only one photo of my city (there will be more later, I don’t want to spoil you too much now!)

But my city is very awesome… because we have PALM TREES!

And yes, I’ve been keeping up with my paintings:
