Before and After: The Flight Home

I haven't posted in a long time!  Sorry about that!  A lot has happened since I showed you the pictures from our Holland trip, and I'll probably leave some stuff out in this post because I've forgotten already. :)

Market and Marken

We were all very excited today when the sun showed its face.  Woohoo!  We got to wear capris!  I know, it's sad.  I've probably had a total of a week of summer so far this year because it's been rainy and cold in Germany so often, and apparently it's even colder here!  I'll only have about four or five weeks of summer this year, unfortunately. :( But, as my mom pointed out, that's four more weeks than the people here! :)

Blood, Sweat and Tears

Today was the Sportfest!  I believe I have told you enough about it in past posts, so I will cut to the chase and tell you how it was. :)

The Sportfest took place at the school and also took just as long as a normal school day, so Lisa and I biked to school like it was any old day.  We spent about five minutes in the classroom, signing the t-shirts of people who didn't get theirs yesterday and discussing the schedule and roles of everyone.  Then it was straight to the back field for six hours outside!

What Have I Been Doing Lately?

I know, I know.  I haven't posted in what, three days?  Don't get me wrong, lots has happened, I just haven't had the time (or the mood) to write about it!  This seems to be happening a lot lately.  Sorry...  But part of it is your fault!  I hardly ever get comments anymore, and I feel like I'm writing to myself.  But maybe you don't comment because my posts are boring because I never feel like writing.  So maybe it's my fault after all. ;) Anyway...

Ditching, Shopping and Reading

After reading the title, you probably have a lot of questions.  "Did Julia ditch?"  "Who ditched?" "What kind of ditch are we talking about here?"  Before you read this, I want you to know that I didn't mean to ditch, and I wouldn't have if I had another choice.

Now you are probably extremely curious.

After a very boring English class (that reminds me–I have homework!) and spending between periods in a very light rain that attacked you from all sides, I went to EGE.  You know, that English History something-or-other class.  I will find out exactly what it stands for eventually.

Anyway, when I reached the floor with my classroom on it, I didn't see anyone from my class in the foyer thingie.  Usually everyone hangs out there until the teacher comes and unlocks the door and then they all go inside the classroom.  My first thought was, "Oh, they must be in already."  But when I pulled on the door, it was locked.  I then stood there for a couple of minutes, trying to figure out what to do.  Were they in a different classroom?  Sometimes we go to a different room to see the projects on the computer.  However, I didn't know how to get to that room.  I probably looked like an idiot to the seventh graders hanging out in the foyer; not knowing what to do, I was just kind of slowly walking around the foyer, looking for something that would help me to decide what to do.

That something didn't show up.

School and Rain and Shopping and Stuff

Today was...  Well, I don't really know how to sum it up in one word, so I'll just start writing about it.

Today was significantly cooler than yesterday.  Since I didn't write yesterday, I'll just tell you this: we got fifth and sixth period off because of the heat.  Yay!  Today, though, it was back to capri weather, and it rained a little off and on throughout the school day.

Hot, Humid and More Hot

Holy crap!  Today was so insanely HOT!  It was a solid 30 or so degrees, which might be really nice in Utah, but add some (no, a lot) of humidity, and you are pretty much a ball of sweat all day.  In my case, a very attractive ball of sweat, but a ball of sweat just the same. ;)
