And I'm A Horrible Blogger....As Suspected

WEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL it has been over 2 months since I've blogged and A LOT has happened I can't even sum up in one post what has been going on but I was so good at doing this before I left and now...well as you can see I'm making an "I'm sorry" post basically so let's just jump in and discuss some main point. I honestly can't write things that are too personal because a lot of people do read this but I can write some solid basics I would say....

FIRST OFF: My Weight

I've been getting a TTOONN of lovely comments from everyone back home about how skinny I look and how great my body looks which is basically the opposite of every other AFSer....Now I know what you're thinking what has this girl been doing that she hasn't gained a lot of weight! I have friends that have gained 3, 4, even 5 kilos which is 10 POUNDS! That's crazy to me! But as we all know the famous acronym AFS: Another Fat Student. Actually I'm pretty sure the average is 5 kilos and I can see it on my international AFS friends I hang out with all the time but me...I've LOST WEIGHT actually about 10-12 pounds to be exact. I'm not sure what I'm doing but those numbers are going down and I'm not really trying honestly. I would say it's because my host father really does enjoy cooking and trying new recipes but I am just a person likes to eat and have the food taste good and not have a lot of shit going on where as they have definitely a more refined palette haha. I actually don't think it's a "culture shock" though but more of what my family specifically does though because when we were in Bavaria I LLLOOOVVVEEEDD the food like give me some form of potato, with a large piece of hot meat, some delicious gravy, and a nice cold beer I'm a happy girl but that's just not the case here in my family. OH! Also I've never experienced bread being a meal but here it is.....

It's not bad. It's not good. It's different.

SECOND: My Hair

Now if we are friends on facebook...which I think we are most likely you have maybe seen my new hair if not here are some lovely visual aids:

Anyways enough of me being a camera whore as my best friend Julia would put it....haha but I just wanted to show you guys another thing that has changed about me thus far in my experience.

THIRD: My Personality 

Now before I came to Germany I definitely was never the immature kid that had their eyes and lives closed off the world. That was never me at all actually, but here I've definitely become more mature when I stalk people on facebook from my hometown and see what they say and are doing. I hear stories all the time about what's going on, who's doing what, who's getting in trouble and honestly there is nothing I miss about Bethel High School at all. If I NEVER had to enter that school again I wouldn't shed a tear at all or ever give it a second thought. The only thing that has me going back are my friends if I could take them all to another school with me I would....I mean even if my mother would homeschool me or if I could do school online which I am heavily debating I would love it! I've been in some disagreements here with my family where they have called me spoiled, immature, and rude but I honestly can say that those statements are completely false I know myself and I've matured to the point where I can admit that I'm wrong and when someone else's way is better so I can honestly say that is not me at all.


This is all I have to write right now for you guys...I could have written a book about EVERYTHING, but there are just somethings you just shouldn't talk about so openly. I think that's the decision when making a blog you can make it publicly known to help out a lot of other potential students or you can hide it so you can write everything you are truly and honestly thinking about everything and just hide it from the world....but nothing's a secret on the internet I guess. That's why you have to have a healthy support system back home and in your host country that will sit there and listen to you rant about the stupidest things so you don't do it somewhere you might regret.


Forever Putting My Foot In My Mouth,
