I now hae a new life. I basically am like a new born baby in a new world unfamiliar to me, but unlike a baby I know what is going on. I woke up this morning and the first thing I thought was was my exchange sister back home said "only 364 days to go". I love germnay though, my family is truly amazing. The house I live in now it just like the movies about germany; its clean, very birght colors, artwork on every wall. It looks like it came out of a magazine it is so beautiful. Today I also got to meet people from Germany, they are also very nice. My host sister took me to a pool, which by the way is the best pool I have ever seen. One of her friends though wanted me to jump off this diving board. There are 5 diving boards two are 10 feet high, the other two are about 20, but the one she wanted to jump off of with ME was 50 feet high. I got to the edge and said "NO WAY" than this guy from behind me was from england and said " well of coarse you are just jump" he was really nice as well. In the end I did jump, but it felt like the air was sucked out of me as I fell. After that I played volleyball, and another game which is like tennis except you have no court and you have to keep the ball in the air, and there is no net. After that I went to a resturant and ordered rumpsteak-rheinbach. I know I sound really smart being able to order something on the first day, but actually it was the only thing I could pronounce.
The diffrences I have found out between Nebraska, and Rheibach are: the cars are relativly small and are not driven alot at all, the bikes are really really tall, the lights are not big they are one small bulb in like a desk lamp shape. Also it is very green there are plants everywhere, and they recyle not just my family but every family. They only have one warm meal a day, which means one cooked meal. All the other meals are breads, fruits, vegetables, salads..ect.. The cholocalte here is also so much better than ours, its not to sweet but its so much better. I have not really found alot of differences but I have found out that everyone and I mean everyone knows america, american music, food, celeberties, and even the language.
My first day was amazing and yes I only have 364 more amazing days left.
