August "The Goodbye Month"

Hallo! I am just chilling here and thought hey why not post! This is the name of my album on Facebook so I thought it was appropriate to make it a blog post title. Yesterday I went to lunch at a popular pizza place in our town with Phoebe who went to Pomaluengo, Cantabria, Spain (I just got that from her Facebook so honestly it could be wrong) with AFS and Mike who went to an island in Italy with AFS. They are so nice and we had a great time because no one else really...understands what you as an AFSer are going through besides a fellow AFSer(s) that is either going through it as well or has already experienced it. Each of them had their own versions of everything to tell me because honestly no two experiences are the same. The thing that they both kind of agreed upon though is the fact that you kinda have to be selfish in a way. Not in a way that is bad and you just seem rude but......you have to make it clear that you are there to learn their language and not to teach English....and you can't constantly worry about hurting someone's feelings or looking dumb if you don't know something. 

Now on to my goodbyes yesterday NIGHT I went out with my friends as I already told you..but you know here are some pictures of why I love them!

JuJu and Lindz

the Ginger and Kelly

SSSSAAAAKKKEEEEEE!!!!!!

just go to Hibachi it's the best...no joke

right before she hit the woman with her chair

almost time for group pics

kinda normal

throwin up the deuces

now this is the real us

this is what happens when you are inexperienced at drinking

Sake and you don't really know how to not spit it out

all over yourself......she didn't pee btw

me and my father

she's so weird......

but i love her

okay so funny moment here

she was whipping her hair for a picture and

then she hurt herself and this picture just makes me pee

myself from laughter

Then this morning we had another day of tryouts and I had to do another goodbye because there is a huge chance that I won't see most of these girls again before I leave for Germany.

you know working it

together as a team forever :)

So yes it's happening and I guess it hasn't really hit me yet that I just won't see everyone....idk why but I'm sad but I'm not like crying my eyes out. That's going to happen right before I say goodbye to my really good friends for the final time I guess. But we will see. I think I'm going to just stick with writing emails to all my friends....and just skyping with my parents from time to time and with my friends whenever they are in a big group so I can just tell them all my stories as a whole.

I might update later on or tomorrow it just matters if I come up with something to say.

Becoming A Goodbye Professional,
