Back "Home"

Five days have passed since I got off of the plane in Düsseldorf. The first thing I got was a culture shock in Munich. Actually a worst one than when I arrived in Somerset...
Oh my Goodness!! All of the people were looking super busy and oh my gosh, the shoes the men were wearing were awesome *___* You know, these extravagant designershoes with a matching suit. Oh wow, I didn't see these for months! Not even in Chicago!
That moment I realized that if I ever marry, it's going to be someone with shoes like that. Most of the time you find men wearing shoes like that next to the newsstand wondering which of the newspapers they should take. Since I missed the flight in Munich because the plane from Chicago was too late and I had to wait about two more hours I had enough time to keep watching them, haha :D Furthermore it was super clean! Everything looked way more pure than it did in America. I was the only person wearing flip flops... I guess I have to say goodbye to them.
Anyways, in Germany my parents, my grandmother and our dog Daisy was awaiting me. It was way less awkward than I thought it would be. I was really nervous and excited before but it was all right! Yeah, it was kinda great to see them again! They had ballons and a stuffed animal (Penguin) as a present for me.

Watching the game.

Then we first went to my grandmother's home for a little. Then we picked  up my best friend Isabel. She's living in our old appartement now. It was a little awkward in my old room with all her stuff, but well. Then we went to my favorite restaurant Maredo in Oberhausen. I love it! Their Chicken Wings are the best in the whole wide world! Afterwards we watched the UEFA Germany against Italy semi-final. It was kinda cool with all these people. Isabel's mom joined us later too. And even though Germany didn't win it was a great evening! I guess they were just super afraid and under pressure because they never won a game against Italy... But well, none of them would've been winning against Spain in the final, they are just awesome!
So well... I don't know what to say. It was Germany, haha. A lot of germans, celebrating Germany.
After that we went home. I was super tired.
The next morning my mom and I went shopping a bit. Gelsenkirchen didn't change at all. But that's ok by me (:
Then we drove to my new "home". It's really awkward for me because our new house is huge, and our apartement in Germany was tiny compared to this.
I've done all kinds of stuff here... Finished the rooms, cleaned them up, skyped with Whitney ♥
Man, I miss this girl!
Anyways, on sunday my grandmother from my dad's side arrived. She's going to stay with us for a few weeks. She's kinda cute, even though we can't really talk to each other, because she can't speak either german or english.
One of the best things about living here is that it's so close to the sea. Ten minutes with the bike. It's awesome. The best feeling on earth is feeling so small when you're standing next to the sea. ♥
It's wonderful.
Tomorrow we'll drive back to Germany because I need some help in chemistry.
And I'll see Steffen, my best friend, after six months. Yaaay, so excited. :D
So well, c ya!
