Yagaboosh!

Yesterday we went to the zoo. I wandered around with Danyelle taking pictures of Kangaroos, Penguins, and all the other traditional things. A Blue Heron (or something like that) landed right next to us as we were taking pcitres of a bird nest. We saw brand new chickens, as well as (adult), monkeys, cats, elephants, cheetah, leopard, and many other things. I got so many pictures to go through now! It was a blast, although in most ways I think the Portland zoo is better. We just need some kangaroos. And more space. This place was huge!

When we had finished there, our group went to downtown Stuttgart, where we wandered around aimlessly for a couple hours. Danyelle almost bought some shoes, but they weren’t in her size. I bought a book in German, the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. I barely understand any of it, so wish me luck! I also bought a lot of fudge from a candy store.

After this, we went back to Nagold and split up. That night was Sandra’s graduation, so we got dressed up all nice and went out. It was pretty interesting to watch, because it was totally different from (and better than) our graduation. There were a couple speeches from head faculty, then the students were called up by class and recieved their transcripts and diplomas. Then the studends called up their teachers, and gave them presents. It took a bit longer than our way of doing it, but I think it was a much more enjoyable experience. Then there was a huge dinner, with tons of food on long tables.

My part of the story ends at this point, because after the dinner portion I go home and go to sleep. Sandra, Madeleine and Amanda stay out until 3 AM at a party. I would have gone, but I was too tired from the day to enjoy myself. I went to bed really early, and slept in until 8:30. Which is late for me, because I’ve been waking up at 6 to go to school.

I’ll upload pictures from the Zoo later.
