This week was my first week working at the vet!
It was really great, definitely excited to begin studying it in college :)
Pets come in needing various things from shots/ check ups to emergency surgeries and then they're on their way.
Tuesday, which also was wonderful Valentines day, I got to watch a cat get spayed and a dog get a tooth removed (which is bloody business).
I know, I have yet to hear any stories cuter than that from that special day..
and I'm surprised my heart is still functioning after today.
I can't handle costumed people. At all. It's the worst experience ever.
and the train was full of them.

since Superbowl, a lot has happened. and i have a busy week ahead :)
this week has been great.
well, Superbowl was spent at home. (fun fact: Superbowl is not a word if it isn't capitalized) I went to sleep after the patriots scored after the halftime show. Since I was cheering for the Pats, I went to sleep happy, and woke up disappointed.. I'm glad I went to bed when I did, which ended up being around 230am.
then bright and early Monday morning, I went to Kindergarten :)
which I went to all five days of the week this week. They all know me pretty well now, and I can hold conversations and play with them :D makes me happppy.
Monday night, I went over to four corners (http://fourcorners.de/) for a performance by Billy Yates and Buddy Jewell. Two great country singers, and both were fantastic performing. Bill brought me in the back room to meet all the musicians as well :) they were all incredibly nice, and such. Buddy's daughter is only a few months older than me, which was pretty cool since he reminded me of my dad in some ways. the whole night was fun, and a good time with my Opa and Gabi :)
Tuesday night, I was back at four corners again, for a girls night. my first and last time going to Bingo. it was soooo longggg and boringggg. but it was nice to go out and spend time with everyone.
Friday night, I don't think I did anything. or wait.. I think that was the day that we went to four corners.. again.. and then to the shooting place! No one was actually shooting, but everyone was there! Which is nice, because they're all around my age. And I actually talked to a guy my age, who is going snowboarding with us in a few weeks! Making more frannnnns!
Saturday. Oh boy.. Saturday was a big day. Sabrina and I dragged Michi shopping. haha. I bought a snowboard! ...and fell in love with another. but I bought the cheap one because once I'm back in the states, I wont be able to use it much.. so it works..
And after 7 hours of shopping, we changed into our costumes and painted our faces blue for a smurf party :) haha it was great! all the people I met at the club earlier was there, and more. so I actually got to hang out with them, all are fun people. Honestly, I couldn't tell you what time we got back..
Sunday, I went ice skating with Katharina and her family and boyfriend! The place was both indoor and outdoor, and I didn't bleed to death from the blades or somehow hitting my head on the ice. Win.
yayay doing things here. :)
Pictures from before the party! (My camera charger is currently in the mail, which is why there hasn't been any pictures...)

Feb. 4, 2012
Wow, I have so much to update. And I really need to talk to someone, and no one's online, so now is as good as a time as ever.
Last post I was in Hamburg. Well now I'm back in my home here in the south.
We came back on the Tuesday of that week, and the train we took home looked like the one in Harry Potter, :) #travelinginstyle
Then Wednesday, quite frankly, I don't remember what I did.. Thursday as well.
I'm pretty sure those were the days that every family member somehow related to my mom and I came throughout the two days to see my momma. I didn't understand much, so I just sat around.
Friday, my mom left early in the morning for the airport. I said goodbye, and slept again. I couldn't get myself to actually go without being a mess. All day Friday and Saturday, I kept to myself.
Saturday night, however, Sabrina and Michi took me to the local Disco (club). ITSCLASSY! haha honestly, I think it makes American clubs/dances look somewhat trashy.. http://www.disco-pm.de/p/
WELL anyway, the drinking age here is 16 for beer and wine, 18 for everything else. Being a 16+ club, drinks were everywhere.. that was something I wasn't used to.
Also, they play a lot of American music. The amount of it actually surprised me.
At one point we found some of their friends in a booth in one of the dance rooms and eventually it was completely filled with friends of friends of Sabrina and Michis. I met quite a few people that night (some who spoke a bit of English) and got my mind off of all the change.
Sunday, nothing really happened. I slept in, which is rare here.
Monday, I started working at the Kindergarten playing and helping out with the kids all ages 3 or 4, with one cute little 2 year old. I worked there every morning (except Wednesday) this past week. The kids and I began to understand each other and they are very patient with me :) Ahhh, they're all so sweet!
Tuesday, I met the vet in the next town over that I'll be working with as a vet assistant type position, which is an incredible opportunity. Many turned me down, because they only accept students in a University currently studying it. Not only was she willing to let me work with her.. but she also knows English from living in London for three years, and has a friend who works with many cows and horses that I could possibly also work with!
A lot of good things have been happening.
Wednesday, I slept in, so no Kindergarten for me. BUT my.. aunt(?) who I'm working with in the Kindergarten set me up to meet a girl who lives down the street that speaks English very well. Not only that, but she is only 2 months younger than me, has very similar interests, and she is so nice :) One of the upcoming weekends, I'd like to go to the IceDisco with her and her boyfriend, and brother. (Iceskating with music and lights and such). Finally, meeting people around my age..
and TODAY I went snowboarding in the Alps with Sabrina, Michi, Markus, and Jan! yesyesyes. Its BEAUTIFUL. I'll post a picture soon. (and -20˙c/about 0˙f) The board was more difficult to ride, but I rode in powder today! It was insanely hard to get used to, but I loved it :)
plan for tomorrow: sleep in and hopefully go to the bar around midnight for the superbowl! oh, and enjoy the soreness thats to come.
allllll caught up! <3
