good days & bad days

I'm settling in very nicely. The first few days were the hardest because the second day i was here they had a break-in, and the thief stole 3 laptops in the office i was supposed to use. I also didn't have any locks on my doors yet and it just made me miss home and feel unprotected. We recently bought me a new lock for my door, and today (Wed, september 9, 09) i got an internet hook-up in my room. I was feeling very uncomfortable having to go upstairs into the office area where there had been a break-in to get on my computer and talk to my parents and friends. But now it will be much better! i can sit on my couch and be comfortable!

so far we have just been around town and we went to the world's largest cuckoo clock! It was very cool! but the cuckoo was a little disappointing for such a big bird/ clock the cuckoo was not very loud. lol and i am learning new words everyday! My class starts on the 21st of september, and hopefully i will be able to speak some German before mom and dad come so i can show them around, as long as i know where i am going. lol

there are good days and bad days, when it comes to missing

home. but i am looking forward to the good days to come. Next week i will be able to go to the stables and ride a horse, of course i will have to learn how to ride english instead of western, but it will be okay! The stable belong to Britta's friend and she gives lessons to some girls my age and hopefully they will speak english so i can make some friends! And there is an International Horse Show next week Thursday-Sunday and Britta says we will try to go to it, because Henry LOVES animals he will also enjoy it just as much as me!

well, that's it for now. Love you and miss you all very much!
