Last evening buffet- germany exchange day 6; friday, 12th May 2017
Hey guys!
Today we got up at 6 o'clock like Wednesday. We got ready, had breakfast and went to the bus station. Because we took the bus at 8:08 yesterday I thought that we would have time until 7:08 but when we left the house at 7:00 I relized that we wouldn't take this bus but the bus at 7:03 like the other times. So we hurried a little and luckily we got this bus... so we arrived at 7:30 and entered the school at 7:40 like usual. In the first lesson we had history and the exchange students were with us. The lesson was in german so they didn't understand anything. Then our class had french and today we had to talk to some other, older exchange students from Sion in french. It was difficult because Finja and I made a little group and the others had prepared some questions we didn't have so we had to improvise on french after we talked english... that was not easy! Well, but our exchange students had been in another class that lesson because our french teacher meant it would be too full. But after that, we saw them again because we made again some things for the project.
For the next 2 1/2 hours we worked out the presentation for the evening when we will tell our parents what we have seen. The three points were the biological farm Rotenhausen, the trip to Brüggen and the cooking workshop. I decided to go to the Rotenhausen group. In our group we decided to split off the group again, so one team worked on the basic information and the first basic guiding tour. Another worked on the experience of the tour the polish and their exchange students made, and the last team of course what the finnish and their exchange students saw.
I was in the last team and with me Mimosa, Finja and Jana and Linda. We collected our pictures and we chosed some we want to print for the poster. When we had all together I went to print them out which was really complicated. The pictures were not very sharp but better than nothing. When we had finish the poster all the exchange students had to go to the Hansemuseum and we german students could work on.
So Finja and I had to work out the texts and went in the computer room. So, we didn't recognize that the others are just practising for the presentation so we missed it. Doesn't matter!
Then we had to look for our exchange students who should have been back right then. Suddenly there was a rumor that the finnish want to go eating at a restaurant so everybody got nervous. Mrs. Schütt talked to the finnish teachers and finally we could go home. When we were home again I felt not so good because I ate (too many of the) sweets I found in my bag. But it was my fault so... Well, we had some lunch and of course I didn't eat much. After that we wrote our blogs a little and talked. We also had to write our text on an index card. There wasn't much time and we had to go right after we had written our index cards. My parents, Mimosa and I went by car and arrived in time at school.
That's how it looked when we arrived.
(These were the tables and chairs for
the buffet)
We all talked for a long time before the presentations began.
We all were a bit nervous but we made it. When we had presented it a few times everybody had heard it and the buffet was opened.
In next to no time the things got more and more empty! So these are the things I caught for eating:
I had two pieces of bread, some vegetables, a bread with salami and cheese and a piece of Finja's pretzel.
It was delicious and for dessert I tasted my mousse au chocolat...
...I love mousse au chocolat and it was soooo tasty!
When everybody was finished with eating we went into room 9 where the results of our city rallye were presented.
I was in group 6 and our whole group
was glad that we weren't the last. By the
way: The photos were shown to our parents
and they had to decide which photo they
liked the most. The points of the questions
were added to this points and that was the
result. The winner team got some cups
with the Ernestinenschulen logo.
After this the evening in school was more or less over and we left the school. When we were on the way to our car we decided to go to the Bar Celona (how the name says a bar) for a very nice last evening. It's relative close to the school and it was 20:30 when we went in. We sat at a table upstairs and talked a lot and of course we also drank Cocktails (3
The left one was Mimosa's and the right one was mine. We tried both and both were very delicious I think. My cocktail was sweeter than Mimosa's because there was lime in there but nevertheless it tasted sweet too. We also shared a cup with liquid chocolate and a third cocktail but it was the last evening and namely a damned great one! I only enjoyed this evening without thinking that she'll leave tomorrow :(
This is shining bracelet we
got from the Bar Celona.
I gave it to Mimosa :)
When it was about 21:35 we decided to drive home. When we were at home we basically went upstairs and got ready for sleeping. Yes, this was a very nice evening and I think I'll miss Mimosa for the next days.
See you,
Justine
