August 7
This morning when I woke up we
had the craziest 10 minute storm ever! I thought for sure there was no way I was
going to be able to get to work and I had no idea what I was going to do! And all
the guys outside had to just stand in it during PT. they were standing at
attention in this crazy wind and pouring rain! Then when it stopped just in
time for me to bike to work I saw all of them laying in the muddy grass to do
sit ups! I felt so bad for them! Then when I was biking I passed this group
where the guy in charge who calls out in a chant the “1,2,3” didn’t even skip a
beat and said “don’t run me over” instead of “1,2,3” in perfect rhythm it was so
funny!
Then this morning I had more kids
so excited to see me and make more birthday cards for me it was so cute! It’s
going to be like a weeklong celebration and that makes me have a little bit
motivation to not want to come home like right now. Anneke and I then struggled
to make the electricity trick with a potatoe work and I was just glad to get
off for my break. I got such a good workout and then of course proceeded to eat
more cookies. It’s so bad! I just need to get rid of them!!! Then the afternoon
went by pretty fast and I got the kids to do a worksheet of the rebus brain
teasers where it is a riddle based on a word oriented in a certain way like:
And once they got how it worked
they really had fun with it.
After work our PC was here again
and we had one final meeting and then went to a really really good restaurant for
some more schnitzel. We weren’t able to go to the stables on base (where they
train horses like in the restaurant) because it closed yesterday for a month! It
was sad! So we went to a place called the schieshaus and it was really cheap
for a ton of food. I got a half portion of food and it was still A TON of food. It was insane that we went so
late though! We were lucky we even got food! We got there right as the kitchen
was closing! This schnitzel I got was plain schnitzel but it was the best stuff
I have ever had! And their pommes (fries) were amazing too. Haha I actually
mean it this time when I say tomorrow the diet starts…. Except the cookies I still
have, birthday cake and Mexican food Friday, and a huge sundae on Sunday night
haha!
I am so tired and I am excited to
get some sleep!
August 6
Today was an up and down sort of
day. The kids were really great and they have already starting making me
birthday cards and singing happy birthday to me even though my birthday isn’t
for six more days. It really put me in a good mood and made me super happy. The
technology camp also built a circuit board that hooked up to the radio and sang
Happy Birthday to me! The day went by super fast and it is insane to think that
we only have one more week left. The weather has been super crazy and cold
which I guess is typical for Germany.
After work I went on my run and
then I went to the LIDL to turn in my recycling. I have been doing really good
about working out and staying on track to keep in shape for when I come home
but then I ruined it all at the LIDL. I got a Euro from recycling and the only
thing that was a Euro was a bag of cookies and since I was so hungry from my
run that I just basically ate the whole bag on my walk back to the barracks! My
sweet tooth is so bad! But I’ve decided that I don’t mind as long as I continue
to work out the way that I am.
I have already started packing to
come home and I have successfully packed one carry on already. Other than that I
just uploaded all my pictures and wrote my blog for the weekend. Not much
really happened today. It’s going to be a slow week I feel like.
