Backround info...
I am Brianna Lamee.. duh you def know that... i am 18 and i currently live in germany... this whole experience started with a wonderful councilor of mine who suggested that i apply for this crazy scholarship where the german and american government pay for you to live in german for a year to get life and work experience and learn another language along the way.. so i apply and i got to be a semi-finalist. than i went to an interview and 2 months later they were calling me to tell me that i was in that i had gotten the scholarship.. well you could only imagine my excitiment but to my discriedte i couldn't even imagine what was coming my way. so after a million good byes and alot of tears i flew away from the only place i had ever called home on june 29th, 2009.. I had never felt so many emotions that the same time i was scared, excitied, lost, and hopeful that i didnt just make the worst mistake of my life. There were 24 kids on the program (and i saw were because 2 girls went home) and we all met up in dc. it was the first time i had ever been there and i saw enough momuments to make you never wanna see one again. after 4 days of sight seeing and "ass-kissing" to the congress people for giving us the money to come we flew our 9 flight to Frankfurt and drove 2 more hours to get to bonn.. WE HAD THE TIME OF OUR LIVES THERE... 24 american 18 year olds who were never aloud to drink let along in public... lets just leave it at "we had good educational fun"!! we def expierenced the sight seeing there was to do there thanks to the AIB (our lanagaue school) and our program director (Hartwig)! we got to see the colgone dome (Köln Dom), the Rhien River, and even some Roman Ruins! We spent 8 weeks together in bonn with our fearless leader Cole (a student of the program 2 years back who came back to help us through our time in bonn) we had host families there who everyone seem to get alone with pretty well. i had a family of a mom and daughter who were really chill just like my family back home so it was a nice transition into my life here in germany! Everything there was great but the shower fucking sucked it was like someone was dumping bucks of water onto your head and you never knew if the next one was going to be hott or cold. it was pretty bad. but my family went to grand canala for vacation for like 3 weeks or something and they left we home with the coolest lady i have ever met she was soo sweet this african lady names MARY. she was soo sweet and she could cook. it was always so intresting to hear here tell stories and eat the food that see could cook oh man that was fun.. well than soon after we had our 8 weeks to get settled in to germany we got a nice little reality check when we moved to our perement host family. I cant speak for everyone but i sure can say that i really felt the difference between living in germany with 23 other americans surrounding you to living in germany starting all over with no friends and not too much knowledge of the german lanagaue! well lets just keep it short about my first host family THEY SUCKED!!! THere was a mom and her two sons. The mom smoked in the house and never left the house other than for work because her kids didnt like it when she wasnt there. they boys were always in there rooms and we never did anything together. it was miserable but the nice part about the family was they forced me to find something to do with my time and in the mean while i found the most amazing cheer team. i really feel like they are part of my family now. They were all so nice and accepting of me and they are a major part in why my german is how far it is today. Lucky i was able to find a new host family and i absloutly love it here. I live with a family of 4. A mom (kathrine), a son who doesnt live with us (24, floriene), daughter who goes to college and doesnt live with us either (21, lisa), a another daughter (19, linda) and another son (17, Tom). They are really a great. They love me just like i was apart of there family all along. Our fav time to spend together is grocrey shopping... =] I go to school with linda in the IGS THESDORF SCHULE!! and there i met my wonderful boyfriend. LUKAS SCHMIDT!!! he is really great unlike any boy i have ever met. im not sure what it is about him but he really gets me and i love that about him.. well i think thats all for backround info for now..... =]
