Day 36

Liv just informed me that we have less than 100 days left in Germany! That seems so crazy. It has not felt like a month, and it feels like the rest of the time will go by quickly considering we have a break for the next week and Liv, Greg, and I are planning trips on the weekends.

I haven't updated since the parents left and it has been a few days. On Monday I took the DSH. It is an exam and placement test in order to take classes at Heidelberg University. We have been preparing for it in our grammar class. But anyway, I had to wake up at 6 and the test started at 8 and went until one in the afternoon. It was longer and more stressful than the SAT. I certainly wasn't as well prepared for it. But, I passed. I didn't want to pass and didn't think I would pass, but I did. Now I have to take the oral part of the exam in a few hours.

On the day after the test, we all as a large group went on an excursion to Schwetzigen. It was really beautiful, because it was a huge palace with different types of gardens. We spent the morning there and had a picnic and walked around.

My parents bought me an air mattress while they were here and I have been sleeping at Liv's while my roommate moved out this week. I couldn't even walk in the door of my apartment, because of how many boxes were in the way. She finally finished yesterday and the apartment smells better, but I need to thoroughly clean it tomorrow morning.

This isn't a very good update, but I don't have internet in my apartment for the next two weeks, so I'm sure the updates will get better and I will do exciting things over break.
