How are you- means not nessesarily that i want to know…:-)

Every second person is either German or Irish (at least around Chicago.)
Making friends? Easier to stay alone!
We are the country of the freedom- here is your classroom policy!

That sounds like a funny story- that is my life here!
You thought this dosesn’t exist…it does!

You want to volunteer,- get into the queue.
I love demolition derbys….Can we have that in Germany?
You can find the right street-there is a system behind it!
Good luck by driving downtown.
 Living in a family is joy and happyness!
I don’t like Mondays.
Dunkin Donuts has the best coffee!
We got a Starbucks on Campus.
Yes i am one of 11000 students.
Where to find a job?
Who knows white castle?
Speak slower this is my second language.

…..to be continued….

Since I wrote the last few words it happened so much that I even don’t know where to start.
New York feels already since Years ago.-
We arrived in Sterling- two hours from Chicago. From there I was picked up from Cory- with a 66 Cadillac de Ville.- Who would believe that 😉
We stayed three days in Dixon but I am sure I will never forget this three days. Cory and Becky took me to the Demolition Derby, I had my first corndog and so much fun!
Cory took me to the Mississippi River, we crossed to boarder to Iowa and went on an Inland, I saw Savanna and the Chinese Garden. I had my first ride on a real Harley Davidson.
There is no way to thank Cory and Becky enough for what they should me!
I hope I can visit them during my stage and I am a little sad to leave…

New York  – Arrival: Tuesday 12.45 o clock

Seams that now everything started. It didn’t feel like US  the first days.
Baiba would say it is just another city- but also just on the first look.
 New York, – the people are mainly answering: it is amazing, huge, crowded and all this is the truth.
It is unbelievable- the skyline, the harbor, the statue of liberty, the view from the Rockefeller and the empire is  just not to describe- you need to see it.
Our days started daily at 7 with American breakfast- bagels and coffee. Then we went to the German house- and everybody was dressed. We looked quite important. J
As soon as the training finished- with how to buy a car, or how to apply for a interview, what do I need to know about the insurance and other important things- we run to see something in NY.
And we saw a lot- we went to China town, walked in the financial district, passed the statue of liberty by boat,- made pictures in front of the trump world tower and had a bottle of Arizona ice tea- which is definitely the best drink in the US.-We went by a New Yorker Cap and walked through the  Park.
To soon the departure time arrived- Departure: Friday 03.45 o clock.
Right now we are in the train to Chicago. At the moment we are quite a lot- but shortly we will separate in smaller groups.  As soon as we arrive Chicago my group ( 7 people) will make our way to the Clock in the Main station, to meet there a bus driver. He is holding my name to identify us and once we met him he is going to bring us to Sterling- where we will met hour host families for the next couple of days-
Tuesday I will make my way back to Chicago to meet my Host- Family. Melissa, John, Steven and Ava!

I can’t belive there are finally just two days to go. The last couple of month, weeks and days were passing so fast without me- recognising that I will leave so soon.

The problems in the last “seconds” kept me active all the time (like a broken hard disk). At the end of the days i crawl into my bed, tired and sleeping exactly in the moment i lay down. In my mind i still now million things to do- like reading the college homepage etc…but i will spend the last days with friends and family…

The next Tag will be from my new home- the United States of America….

Abschied….

On the 4th of July we had a Barceque with some  Participents of the CBYX. We flyed the american flag and dressed as German as possible….Now that we know where we come from, we are ready to start the new year….
