I'm sitting here watching Man vs Wild in german and I thought that I would write a blog post.  
I have been pretty busy the last 2 months. I have done so many things and I cant really remember all of them.  But my time here in germany is coming to an end.  I only have about 10 days to go at the time of writeing this.   I get a really weird feeling in my stomach when I think that ill be home soon!  I have been gone for  10 months!uhh..its just weird....i know that I keep rambling on and saying the same thing..but I cant help it!
So ill just talk about some topics that  you all might find interesting.
Language
I am pleased with my language skills and my progression throughout the year. I understand pretty much everything said to me.  I am now (finally) starting to grasp the terrible unmerciful German grammer.  Im kind of disapointed that I didnt get it earlier... but it almost happened all at one.   I had, in the words of Samuel L Jackson,  a moment of clarity.  Eine Moment der Erleuchtung.  I literaly woke up one day and thought...oh! Now I get it!    I still do make mistakes, but im much more confident when I speak.  
School
Im also pleased with my school progess.  I got an average of 2.27 on my report card... It goes from 1-6.. (1 best 6 worst)  So I think I did pretty good!  I ended up not failing any of my classes.  It went as follows.  Physics- 4, Politics – 3, Bio – 3, German – 2, Religion – 2, Math – 3, English – 1, Art -1, Gym – 2, History – 1, Chemistry – 3.  So I'll continue into the 11th grade next year.
Germany Overall
Hmm.  Well.  Im glad I came here.  I think ill even come back!  I would love to be fluent in german, so I think that between highschool and college, I will make another exchange year.   But im kind of stuck and im not sure wether I should do it again in germany, or in a spanish speaking country.  Because then I could speak spanish!  And experience another culture.  But I have two years to think about so remember to check this blog ;)  
  These last few months have been really awesome though...especially this last month.  Ive done so many things! I can really barley remember it now.
Here is some highlights.
My friends gave me a surprise going away party
Visited berlin again
BMX World Championchip
Saw Handel
And on top of that, I have been doing something almost everyday!  Its really great just hanging out with friends, enjoying my last weeks ( and now days) in germany.  
Das leben ist schön.

That's so cool that you got to go to Germany, learn a new language and emmerse yourself in a different culture. Although I have to say it, your English has gotten a little bit worse. Like, "barley". Really? But I still think that's totally awesome and everything.
