Tuesday, 20th of December 2011, 7pm, Sarah This week, still completely in the pre-Christmas-stress, I was confronted with something that I almost forgot about: The choice of my seminars for the qualification period at the Dürer-Gymnasium. Or better, the reminder of my life after June. My life in Germany. Of course, I never forgot about my friends, my family or even school in Germany. But when I recieved the e-mail from my teacher, who gave me all necessary information about all offered courses next school-year, I realized that another big experience will wait for me after I come back: The qualification period, known as Q11 and Q12, will be the end of my entire school time and the abitur, which results are the basis for university. So something that is really, really important. And now I have to choose two seminars for the next two years. And I can't even think about what will happen, when I come back. Right now, all I can think about is, of course, Christmas. We already went Christmas caroling with the family-friends from church. If you have never heard about that tradition, I haven't either. It is like our German "Sternsinger", but for adults. We walked along the street where my host grandma lives, rang the door bells and sang Christmas songs. It was actually fun, although I felt a little bit weird whenever the people opened the doors. But the highlight of my week was definitely the party given by one of my friends from drama. We were sitting outside his house at a small bonfire and roasted s'mores (a sandwich out of graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows) under the clear starry sky. And suddenly lightnings started flashing over our heads. Without thunder, rain or wind, just lightnings. Amazing! And now, my year is coming more and more towards half-time. I can't actually believe, that I will ever leave this place again and go back to my old life. Not that I don't like my German life as much as I love my Texan one. But right now, I'm here, in The Woodlands, Texas. And I'm going to enjoy every second of it. Everything else comes later.
