So.... my mother wants me to update my blog so.... here it is.
There really isn't much to say, life here isn't SUPER different in the states however:
1. Less TV is watched
2. Very little free time is had (I've seen the schedules of some of my classmates... they barely have time to breath) (on that note.... my amount of free time has just expanded by being here)
3. Streets, yards (if they have one), houses, space between houses.... it's all smaller
4. People ACTUALLY study and do homework... and BEFORE it's last minute.
5. Bread and Water .... you know how in the US we think of that as bad and punishment.... here it's ok... It's an everyday thing... snack or meal
6. People will just stop by to say "Hallo" and talk for awhile without forewarning
7. Coffee to go.... or anything to go doesn't really happen... From what I've experienced, there is a lot more sit down and drink your coffee or eat your meal... at a table... together.... where we can talk (or sometimes watch the TV by the table) and just relax form the day....
8. Breakfast is a big deal if more than one person is home to eat it... the table will be covered in bread and meat and cheese and coffee and other things to top your bread with and , in my host family, a mix between a boiled and poached egg...
I actually find the sitting a discussing rather than taking your food and drink in front of the TV is a good thing ans something we should do more in the US...
Not much has been going on... just the average day to day to living...
December begins tomorrow... with it comes the beginning of the Advents calender...
I think my host mother and I are going to do some Christmas baking tomorrow.
Next week I am going to go to a Christmas Market (2 actually) and meet my Community representative for the first time.
Not much new here in MadisonLand
Sending greeting and love all the way from the Germany,
Queen and president of MadisonLand (Madison Jeannine Wallace)
