HEY GUYS!!

Well after 2 colds and a minor case of larengitis, the snow is starting to look pretty again :) i guess thats what happens when you decide to have a snow fight with out gloves or a warm jacket.. heheh..

So the update: I have been having sooo much fun!! I have been blessed with a super duper first host family who i know that i am going to be really sad to leave.. the other day my host mom had tears in her eyes when we were talking about doing all my laundry so i can be ready to go to my next family.. So far i have had to say goodbye to 3 really good friends who were here only on short term.. well one and the other 2 that i had met my first month in Murnau.. i guess you were right when you told me that i would make friends that would last a life time.. i know that i will never forget them.. My friend from Mexico and I are already planning a 'Sofie tour' so we can go visit our friend who went home.. and the other two live in cali and are already planning a trip to come and see me.

School is going ok.. its really really boring but on wednesdays i go to a german school where i take 3 hours of intensive german for not native speakers!! so thats really cool.. my german is finally getting to the point to where i can actually have a conversation with some one.. im just like joy in a way.. i had my first dream in german the other night.. it was really weird!!! A girl who is here from Australia told me that when she had her first dream in german, she woke up and took a picture of herself.. ok im not going to go that far, but i'll definitally remember it :) Every weekend and some days during the week i'm out with my friends and having a tremendous time!!! every morning for breakfast and every night ( during the week ) for dinner, i eat with my entire family.. its great!!! I just learned how to make knudels!! its great!! i go to my next host family on sat.. i only know the daughter but shes really nice so hopefully her parents are great too.. and there is a gym that is only five minutes away!! woohoo!! now i can finally loose these 20 lbs that i have gained from being here.. yes you heard me right 20 lbs.!!! ahhhhh.. but at least i'll be warm in the winter :)
love always,
Elizabeth
