aw man. so last night was SO freaking awesome. so i came home from school, thinking it would pretty much be like the other friday nights, film watching, hanging out with Petra and Peter, just chilling, who knows what. but then i get a call from Lucenda, another exchange student in another town, 15 minutes outside of minden. she was like hey, margaret, there's a big party here, and i was wondering if you wanted to come. Sure, i said. so i give the phone to Petra to kind of keep up with the details, and she talked to Lucenda's host sister, Nadine. So after dance class, which was also cool, im totally going back next friday, she drove me the 15 minutes where we met Nadine in a parking lot.

There were 6 boys, Nadine, and Lucenda just standing there. so im like ok 6boys, a german girl, and another exchange student who speaks no german. this could be interesting. so none the less, petra agrees to pick me up at 1 (AH ONE!) and we all go hang out at Nadine's house. the doorbell rings and about 16 other people come in- ALL GUYS AH. and all NOT 15 like every other person in my class. i was on the couch next to sibistian and Benjamin, and we all talked the entire time, also talking to other people. o m gosh i actually felt sane, and was having a GREAT time meeting all these people and drinking a bit (sorrrrry mumsie-don't worry though not TOO much!) and just hanging out

so then, we all get up and walk forever to the next town over and the entire way i'm taking to lucas, and sebastian and benjamin keep poking me and such, and we're all running around and singing random german drinking songs, and they're just being teenage guys, all of them. so we pick up two other girls on the way, both of whom i talked to for a pretty long time while walking, and both of whom are OBSESSED with adam brody and think america's awesome. most of my convos had to do with Bush, my opinion about him, american/german stereyotypes, and my learning of random german slang. AH

so we all finally get to the party, which is this HUGE tent and all these people, and we hang out there, and dance. HA it's totally cool, because they all didn't dance dirty at all, which i totally loved. it was more like everyone stood in big circles with their arms around each other, just jumping up and down. then i danced with one of my pals from the party for a while, just ranodmly jumping around and all, and EEEK IT WAS SO FUN

alas, aaaah i had a great friday night, easily the best time i've had since moving in with the fam, haha a little better than the old people party, i must admit.

AHHHH i hope we can all hang out again, but who knows. it kinda really sucks that they live a ways away, but still they were all TOTALLY awesome, and the party was totally fun, and YAY!!!!

and berlin class trip in a week! ALSO YAY, but even yayer for my first fun, REAL german friday night!
