Happy Birthday Debbie!
Monday morning I got ready and then had lunch with the family. After lunch, I talked with T for a bit and then headed to the school where Jose works to try and learn some more German.
It took about fifteen minutes to walk there and I went up to his classroom. There was a student teacher named Sarah that would also be attending class that day and it was nice to meet her. I first learned what I could from the history lesson, that was in German, about the number of emigrants from different European countries that headed to the US. I could not understand everything, but I understood a good amount and it was interesting.
Music was next and dancing came first. A few line dances played, such as "Cotton Eyed Joe," and then we had to get partners. I was partners with Sarah and we did pretty well. After dancing came singing. I did not know the first song because it was in German, but then we sang "Imagine" by John Lennon. I was very happy about that and Jose even asked me to translate one of the lines for the kids. I got one word wrong, but it was close and the rest was correct I think. He told the kids that I had not had a single German class, so that made me feel pretty good.
After music, each of the students talked a little bit about the jobs that they had visited the week before. I did not really understand much of anything that they said during this period, but they were pretty technical words I think so I did not feel so bad.
When school ended after that period, I had the class take a picture with me. School was fun and I think that I am heading back again this week. Jose gave me his schedule so I am all set.
Roman was driving home from work when I started walking back, so I caught a ride with him. He brought me back to the farm and I had some dinner and headed to practice with Nadja. We did some defense and then had a little scrimmage with hitting practice. Tiin brought me back when we were finished and I sat out at the restaurant for a while to celebrate Debbie's birthday with everyone. After some french fries and a few "Happy Birthdays" I headed to bed.
