Minor Bump in the Road
I have a problem
Two or three days ago I asked if I could change schools.
I feel like I am spending too much time with my host-brother, which at the moment is not a bad thing - at all. He has always been there as a means of support, helping me to understand by speaking my language, introducing me to friends and always being there for me through my first few weeks of school and hockey trainings.
The problem is this:
Being around the same person 24hours a day, I haven't been forced to make my own friends - I have become friends with his friends. It's comfortable, it's easy and they are all really nice, but like anything: there is a catch.
I always have my International friends, and I love spending time with them, but if things continue the way they are, I won't have my own circle of german friends, I would have my host brothers.
There is nothing wrong with him, his friends, or our school - I am only cautious of what may happen in the future.

Perfekt Deutsch in Elf Wochen
Thought I'd take a trip to the Stadt Library two days ago to borrow some children's books to help me learn Deutsch.
I hate the German grammar, it makes everything so much more complicated. The sentence order is so different to English:
"How we please the library go?"
"Like you this?"
My books
Nevertheless, I want to learn the language as best I can and as quickly as possible.
Deadline: JULY 14 2010
The start of the summer holidays. Exactly 11 weeks, and by then I don't want to have any problems communicating in Deutsch.

I arrived in Denmark on the 10 hour overnight train leaving Köln at 2250 thursday, arriving in Horsens 0830 friday. I wasn't in Denmark for long but the weekend was sick. I would love to go back to Denmark, I rate it highly.
