I am officially over my Coffee withdrawals because I started drinking it again, But ALL Coffee in Europe is served in tiny Cups! When I want Coffee I want in something anywhere from 18-32 oz. Anyone want to ship me one of the Bubba Kegs™so I take it into one of the Bakeries and show them what Coffee should come in. On a side note, The Coffee here is good, but I still love my D&D better.
In good news, I am finally an honorary Marpert! Except for the fact, I can not say their Name right. America is the only Country I now of that uses the hard "R" sound. The "R" here sounds like "air" and I can not get use to say "air". My friend Marleen and I spent at least five Minutes trying to get me to say her Name right. I just call her Marley. It is funny I spent so many Years perfecting the "R" that now I will come back saying "air" and sound like I am from the east Coast again.
I had to bake a Cake this week because I was late to Physic. In my Defense, I was talking to the spanish Teacher... in German. I tried to make Apple Bars from a Website that a certain Child Catering Service uses. It did not turn out so good; I mean everything tasted good but the Bars were only about a 1/4 Inch tall. Petra and Daniel like to cook, and they are really good at it. However, They don't have a pan close to a 9" by 13" so I use this thing I found in the oven and that is close to 12" by 18".
Food safety has never made its way to Germany. Petra and Daniel leave Pans and Pots of Food out on the Counter or in the Oven for a Day or two. I am surprised I haven't gotten sick. Petra and I were talking about Nutrition and Diets this week. She was shocked when I told that the American Diet is 2,000 to 2,300 Calories each day (hopefully), but most People can not do that and its really like 3,000. Petra has a 1,500 calorie Diet. She said that most People in Europe eat between 1,500 and 2,000 Calories each Day. America needs a Fat Tax like Denmark but stricter. For Example, if someone 250 or bigger tries to buy Something put an extra 4 cent tax on Them. We could make a so much Money that way, and to get rid of it simply loose Weight. Its a win, win Situation.
HP owes me Money for all the Time I have helped Someone with an HP Computer. A couple Weeks ago, I helped Petra delete her Facebook and ever since I have been helping her with Computer problems. It isn't as easy as back in the States because Everything is in German. I still haven't gotten use to the Idea of wearing a Jacket. I am so use of going from Car to Building and not needing a Winter Jacket that I am freezing all the Time. I made the smart Idea yesterday of only wearing a sweatshirt yesterday, when we went for a Midnight Mcdonalds run. It was only 35 degrees.
My German Tutor is a bigger Tree Killer than Frau. I get at least 20+ Sheets of Paper every Saturday. The class is a funny bunch of People. We all speak different native Languages. Russian and Turkish are the Majority. I am surpised that there are two German-Africans in the Class (I am not sure where they are from.) The Italian Guy is named Tony and I laughed. I made my first German mistake this week too. One of the ladies asked for a cup from the Bakery for Coffee they were brewing in the Classroom, but I didn't understand. I got a Cup with Coffee in it. When I got back she showed me the coffee machine on the floor.
I helped Albert get an 1 on his English Test. His English is pretty good, although we need to work on the "TH". I see Planes way up in the Sky but I have never actually heard one, and that is weird but nice. There are a lot of military Jets that fly over my house tho. It always makes me think World War III has started because you know its going to happen soon enough. This Week has been awesome because the Other Kids have had Exams so I have had those Periods off. Monday I went to School from 11-3:15, Wednesday 1:45-3:15 (I was still late for school). Friday I only had Sport (11:25-1).
That's all for this week I think. Is the every Sunday Blog good or bad, What do you think?
Love your posts. HATE the swearing.
