1/6/11- So, today I spent the day in Köln with my friend Morgan. We basically just wandered around, talked, and took pictures in the rain. It was a lot of fun! When I first arrived, Morgan told me about how she just watched a girl get arrested by the German Police for using the wifi in Starbucks without buying anything.. yeah. It’s insane! Later that day, we were standing outside of starbucks, using the internet without buying anything, and I was able to call the Admissions office at Unity- my top choice college, anddddd I GOT IN!! Not just to the college, but to the Captive Wildlife Care and Education Program- which only a limited number of students are accepted into! I was literally freaking out! Morgan and I were jumping up and down, and then celebrated by going to McDonalds. Haha goo Americans! :P After that, I came home by train/bus!

Oh goodness, it’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I’m really sorry- I still have no working computer!! I promise to be better about blogging when it gets fixed. Soo on January 3^rd, I switched to my second host family. They are AMAZING! Yesterday I went with my host parents and host dog on a long hike near the city of Bonn. First, we hiked up to Petersberg, the place where German politicians gather. It was a steep and exhausting hike, but it was so fun! Bill Clinton hiked it as well (obviously not at the same time, but that would have been awesome!!) We took loads of pictures- my host dad kept asking me to stand infront of stuff so he could get a picture of me! We also were able to take some pictures of the three of us! J We then were going to hike another 6ish Kilometers to a castle, but took a wrong turn and ended up back where we started at the bottom of the mountain, so we took a special train up another mountain!! While we were waiting for the train to arrive, my host dad bought me some pins for my Rotary Blazer!! It was SO nice of him!!!! :D:D
