OCTOBERRRR

So October is flying by and last Friday was the official one month mark. I can't believe how fast time goes and I am just trying to enjoy and appreciate every moment I'm here. Lets see what has happened this month:

-I did a 10 KM run
-we visited Neuschwanstein-which brought back memories of being there five years ago on my exchange trip
-we had out first guest speaker this week, a man by the name of Ken Needham. He taught about Hebrews
-I went to a flea-market just today actually :) I got some cool old looking books and a necklace
-I feel like there is a never ending amount of chocolate flowing in my room and in the school, meaning that I am eating a lot of chocolate.
-I have been going on ice cream and 'kaffee und kuchen' trips way too much :)
-I have had to memorize 6 memory verses so far
-We had out first test on Colossians. I think I aced it, like expected!
-I have handed in my first book report on 'The Pursuit of God'-which is an amazing read for anyone who wants to grow in their faith
-I took the song 'Tik Tok' by Kesha and changed the words and sang it infront of the school for the 6th Hour with my two friends Kirsten and Krista. We made the song 'Bode Style' with different names of the leaders in there. It was a pretty big hit.
-We had a dinner with the theme 'Sweden', so my friend and me painted the swedish flag on our faces with face paint. No one else went as all out as we did :)
-I went and explored a bit of Europe and went to Konstanz. It's a beautiful town right beside Switzerland that didn't get bombed during WWII, so it has the cobble stone streets and little stores. It's beautiful.

And that's all I can think about right now. I will try to update more regularly so I can remember more things....this is all I, and everyone in the computer room at the moment, can think of. I miss everyone and I wish I could have all of you visit!

I am loving the cards and packages I have gotten so far, so thank you so much! And right now the big highlight for me is Christmas. I am starting to book flight and looking into hostels. I want to go to Ireland (FOUND FLIGHTS FOR 12.99 Euros) and I am planning to spend Christmas in Paris. There is a group of around eight of us traveling. 3 guys and 5 girls. So the future is looking friendly :) and my mom and aunt are coming in 19 days...not that anyone is keeping track or anything!

I'll update in a week or so,
Talk to you guys soon.
