My Last Day of School!

Next week all the kids here have the week off, so today was my last day of school in Germany! It was sad to have to say goodbye to everyone, but I got to say goodbye to everyone I think so that was good. It was a pretty fun week too. On Tuesday Justin Whitten and his exchange partner Simon went with me to Rostock to find German flags so we could get people to sign them. While we were there a lady from the newspaper asked if she could take our picture, and it might be on the front page! I thought that would have been really cool to be in a german newspaper twice, and on the front page too, but a dog with sunglasses on the beach beat us for the front page. Oh well lol. Anywas, back to the flags. Everyone kept saying that it would be really hard to find a German flag, but at the second store we went into we found a bunch of them so it was all good. It was interesting carrying around a German flag today getting people to sign it, because they aren't nearly as patriotic as we are in Canada. For them it is bad to be patriotic about your country, or what they say is 'Nationalist', because when the Nazis were in power there was so much nationalism. Anyways it was good to get them to sign it. On Wednesday I went with Justin and Simon to Neix (where Simon lives) and we played soccer. it was lots of fun, but I was so sore after it I felt like I couldn't move anymore! I was much better the next day though lol. So it was a really fun week. Tonight we are going to go for supper with some relatives, Saturday we are going back out to Warnemünde, and Sunday there is an Easter Market in Rostock so we will go to that, and I will probably get the last of my souvenirs too. I don't know what we are doing on monday, Anna had wanted to come over for a bit but we'll see what happens. I ony have three full days left though so I want to make the best of them!
