Sögel

Hello!

A little bit of my camp in Sögel. This was the building we spent our days:

But before that a little bit about how wrong can one day go and first misunderstandings. First of all I didn't get any information paper about camp and on leaving day I found out bus goes at 16:45 not 7:45. This time, 7:45, was even confirmed by one person working in school, who even didn't know what was going on. Same person said everything is organized and I can be in same room with the girl I talked to, but turns out it wasn't. Until arriving I had no idea with who I will be in same room. But well, gotta have fun :D

CAMP:

I day:
As we arrived, I found out I'm in same room with girl named Johanna. From mos of the rooms we had the biggest room with our own bathroom. Most of the people were jealous. I blended into her friends circle and met two more awesome girls Anna-Lena and Maike. We went into same workshops and were in same homegroup.

In homegroup I met other 11th grade students, who i havent seen before. Was teased a little bit by being called: "Hello woman from Finland", guys found it very funny when i had to say: Estland! They stopped on third day evning with that :D In total camp lasted for 4 days. 1st day to get there. 2nd and 3rd day for workshops. 4th day goodbye day.

Funny thing that happened was when one guy said randomly: I have a girlfriend
My automatic answer: Gongratulations
Everyone started to laugh and me also, because i understood how it sounded like.

II day:

Waking up at 7:45, they played some music in corridor. I was in bed until 8:10 since Johanna occupied bathroom, so I had no point to get up. 8:30 eating, bröchens, what else. I decided to go for cereal and youghurt, too bad no one told me its not sweet one. good thing we had some cacao powder on table.

9:30 we had our first workshop: Zukunft (Future)
Didn't understand much, everything went so fast! When there was a longer discussion I lost my following sense completly.. on those moments  I thought how good idea it was to sleep long in the night or i'd pass out here.

On free time we went to city of Sögel and I have to say it, they have something with colored animals:

We also took some pics of ourselves:

Anna-Lena, Maike, me

After workshop we watched a movie: Ziemlich Beste Freunde (The Intouchables). Didn't understand all of it, but I think I watch it again. In own way funny, but touching movie ;)

III päev:
Nothing special. I was in workshop: Tod (Death). Didn't enjoy it so much, too religious. Funniest part was when we were given some papers to read what other religions think that happen after we die .. and how all the people in that workshop laughed over their beliefs.

One part of workshop was to answer some questions. We had 20-30mins, so we went for a walk and discovered this place:

IV päev:
Up in the morning, cleaning rooms, breakfast, goodbyes and home.

Whole camp,

Hello!

   Another quiet week, so not much to write.

   So, for example I did not have Maths for whole week, yay, since teacher was sick. I had nothing agasint it, on Tuesday before P.E two free classes and on Thursday I slept until half nine.

In school:
I know two subjects I'm going to get graded in:
     -History (I get graded for my notes)
     -English(easy subject).
Maybe I get graded in:
     -Art (practical work + I took test, even though I couldn't understand it well)
     -Handball (I don't know if we get graded in that one)
     -Maths (when I catch up with things they learn)

   Next week, 24-27 September, I'll be in Sögel. I have to admit that I am not motivated to go there, but who knows, will see how it is when I get there. Lucky find people I can share room with, so I know somebody :) When I get back on Friday, I have brithday party to go to, hope I'm not too tired then.

    Weekend has been quiet, very releaxing, watching air holes, like my family says :D Today I went with host-mom for a walk with our dogs, next to some artificial lake:

Most of the area around that lake was forests and meadows

    After walk we went to place called like this:

..what is another "in the middle of nowhere" garden cafe! There is a lot of those around this area and they all are very nice places to enjoy your piece of cake and tea/coffe. Away from city noise in the nature :)

Have a nice upcoming week! :)

Another week has passed by

Hey,

Didn't know what to put as headline and since I was too lazy to write, I have to make summary of last week, starting Saturday!

Saturday 7.Sept

We went with family to Wilhelmshaven. We got there right around lunch time and we decided to go eat fish, since I really like it. I chose for my lunch "Nordsee Teller" (North Sea Plate). Three different kinds of fish with fries:

After that we looked a little bit around the shops. On the street we met these two clever peformers. They invited you to go and stand next to them and then hold your hand until somebody gives them money and pays you free. I have to say, that this trick seemed to work very well because they had collected a lot of money. Girl on the picture, is my host-sis.


After shopping we went to Südstrand, it was just beach where was many cafes and hotels, to get to that beach you needed to cross this bridge:

There was a lot of flowers

On way back took another picture, so you can see bridge's name

At evning I went to polish and germans last night together. Funny company, we had some BBQ and talking for hours, sad only that weather went bad later and I had to go back home with little storm. Before that we did some pictures together for memories!:

Kuba, me, Marcin

Left: Kuba, me, Marcin (looking at something i guess), Alexandra
Down: Paulina

Don't leave! :D

Schoolweek wasn't so intresting. I took new subject though: pedagogy

On Thursday, 12th Sept, I went to city to fill some free time I had. Since some company  was doing some advertisement, I got this nice red bucket, and it was very funny to walk around with it and go through shops:

Since autnum is kicking in, our house changed looks a little:

On Friday evning we got visited by my host-mom's sister and we all went together on Saturday to Ochtrup. There was this old factory, that was made into mall now:

Cafe that was in there, had this cool mosaic painting

After that we went to see some castle/fortess like place for Earl in Grafschaftis:

Flag up means that Earl is in  fortess 

Through this gate you were able to enter to 2nd yard

St. Catherine church

This was an well known man, who worked with sandstone which is used to build most of the buildings.

Monument for II World War killed ones

Today, 15.02 afternoon we went to Rosecafe. Cafe in the middle of rose kennels and other nice views for garden:

Sun was annoying, but did picture still. Behind the bench is my host-father's mother, on bench left is host-mom, on right is host-dad. Left dog is Heini and right one is Liisi

Whole woods were covered with little creatures

I also got lost on picture

Host-dad said, that on left is me in the morning and on right is my host-sis in the morning.

Me

Host-sister

Most beautiful rose in the garden

Weather prodcast. Stone dry - sunny, stone wet - raining, stone white - snowing, can't see stone - foggy, stone moving - sotrm, stone gone - earthquake

Very nice idea for garden

Last picture is my meal in cafe, waffle with furits and ice cream and whipped cream

Have a nice week!
