Hunting for that Denny's
Again I have to cover two weeks... I try my best to post next week again.
Monday the 12th of December we had our first snow day! Incredible isn't it?
School was first supposed to run on a two hour delay but ended but being completely canceled. I certainly didn't mind and went sledding in a little park at the edge of the town.
This week has after an unusual start become an even more unusual week.
For the simpler part we had two presentations in English/History, one was a review and the other one was about the 1920's I think.
And for the sad part, of the week, somebody I knew in Switzerland passed away. It was a really difficult feeling to handle for me, being so close because you can never leave home and the people you're connected with but also being at the other side of the globe at the same time.
It was one of those moments when the saying "distance means so little" really was true and no matter how many miles were in between I had a hard day and days to follow.
The schoolweek ended with me watching a basketball game at the school and the Vikes won, YAY :)
And after I went to see the new Star Wars Rogue One which really is a good movie, go watch it if you haven't done so yet!
And then something I have never seen in my entire life before, during the movie it had rained ice, so when we went out we had to scratch all the ice off the car and then drive real slow because the roads were like an ice field.
At home I ran around in the street and slithered around and had a ton of fun, at about 1am in the morning...
And then the weekend and Saturday came up and the story that gave todays blog it's title happened.
Mike and I wanted to go to the mall in Fort Wayne. So we did. We figured we would eat in a Denny's since I love that and haven't eaten there since I came 5 months ago.
So we punched into different websites and found some different locations. Turned out there is no Denny's in Fort Wayne, but we checked 3 locations that the wide web had given us.
The first one was in the middle of the country and as we drove there we thought that it would be really surprising to find a restaurant out here, it was literally in the middle of a bunch of woods and fields. The exact location actually didn't even have a building, so no luck out in the country so we decided to drive into town and check the address there. We ended up finding a Taco Bell in that exact spot but no Denny's again.
After a tiring and unsuccessful search we ate at Red Robins and after a little wait we enjoyed our meals, for me this war a burger with an egg in it which still is amazing to eat but a huge mess in the end.
After a short shopping experience, neither Mike nor I like shopping at all, we drove home and went to out neighbor's christmas party. We had such a nice time and they have a basement in their house, which is rare here, and the basement jus absolutely made me feel like in the Bierhalle at home.
The basement is a little man cave with a bar and poker table and the walls are full with beer brands and other fun little man like things.
And then the last 3 school days before break came in.
We didn't have regular class but had to take our finals. It was kind of weird and stressful but I passed all my classes so it's all good I guess.
Christmas break started on Thursday and Thursday and Friday I had practice in the morning and used the afternoon to relax a little bit.
And before I had time to blink Christmas rolled in.
Saturday we celebrated with Karolees Family and I think I never saw as many presents in a room as I did that day. The present opening follows the age and I actually got some presents, the popcorn standing right next to me, and so many other things :) I had a really nice time and enjoyed seeing some people of the family I haven't met yet.
Now today Sunday was a bit more relaxed and after Church, during which Mike sang a song he wrote, we served some food and visited his mom in the afternoon.
We ended the weekend with some Sunday night Football and I finally ended it with writing this blog...
I hope everybody had a merry Christmas and a wonderful time with their families and since I won't post until next year, a happy new year and great rest of 2016!

Two weeks and not a whole lot of sleep
So it has been another two weeks since the last post again,
I will definitely try to post next Sunday.
Let’s start with Monday two weeks ago when I went back to
regular wrestling practice. But it certainly didn’t last very long. Tuesday I was
back on the bike again and had another appointment with the doctors scheduled.
So the week went by without wrestling practice for me.
But there were a few cool things happening besides that.
I went to Campus Life and met new people, I think so far I always
had a good time with campus life.
Karolee and I went and picked up my sports jacket and also
brought it to a lady to stich on the letters and all the other things.
We also started reading a book in english class. And without
trying to offend anybody, but the way we read books here is about the way we
did it in 5th - 7th grade. The book is about some rich
guy always throwing big parties and does so only to get his teen love back in
contact with him. Long story short, I don’t really like the book.
And there was some more school related stuff going on. In my
forensics class we started talking about fingerprints and had to analyze our
own ones. As it seems I have the most common type and am not even special :D
We also had two wrestling meets in those two weeks but in
neither one of them I participated.
It still was interesting watching the matches.
Friday to Saturday I slept over at a friends house and we
played some video games for a bit too long, so I was a little tired Saturday.
Saturday also a Senior Night took place. We went to the
skate ring or however its called and had a lot of fun. I learned skating on
those rollerskates with 4 wheels on them and even could go backwards at the end
of the evening, that was about 3am.
At 4am I finally ended up in my bed and slept in the day
after.
This past week started with me going to school Monday and
campus life in the evening.
Tuesday I could sleep in for a bit because we saw another
doctor. They told me nothing new but that it will take some more time until I can
go back to regular practice..
So this week I wasn’t wrestling as well but only warming the
bikes sattle.
Basically the week wasn’t really exciting until today, or to
be accurate, yesterday Sunday.
Well first there was so much snowing today. It was
beautiful.
But for our drive to Plymouth the snow wasn’t as beautiful
but we still managed to get there.
We had a meeting with a bunch of other AFS students and we
first decorated some cookies and then ate some international food from all over
the globe.
As always the event was super fun even though it was only 3
hours…
After we ate we played some games, took some photos and
sadly we had to say goodbye again really soon. The way back was easier and it wasn’t
snowing anymore. And that’s how my two weeks ended.
