Breakfast was the same as the day before, but I enjoyed it regardless because I was fairly certain that it was becoming routine, and it was quite similar to my breakfasts in America. It was cold and raining on the way to school. Once there, all of us kids had to wait outside our homeroom until Frau came with the key. We filled out a few pages in our packet and I ate the delicious cookies (I can't describe them very well, sorry) that my mom packed for me, since I was hungry already.
Second Stunde (Stunde is hour, or what they call their class periods) a bunch of classes were combined for physics, during which the teacher was talking about Kepler. Then back to our little class for Wirtschaft (economics) which was very boring, and so Cassandra and I worked on our farewell speeches. Then Elli and Nici had their looonnnngggg English test, so Cassandra and I hung out in a little room near the Aula (lobby). It was a two hour test where they had to write all in English! We could never have done something like that in German. Then they came for us and we went to math, which they're basically learning pre-calc stuff.
After that class, basically all of us (except perhaps a few) walked further into Altötting to get lunch. We went to a Dönner shop and I got a Dönner-box, which had french fries toward the bottom with Dönner meat and a type of sauce (that we had yesterday at lunch) with the meat. It was good. Then our hosts had to go back for their afternoon classes, except for David (Kenny's host), so he went with Kenny, Carl, Cassandra, Alex, Allison, and I to the Kapellplatz (the center of the oldest part where the Holy Chapel with the Black Madonna and a bunch of churches and the city hall, etc. are). I got two postcards and took a lot of pictures. Then we walked back. It was an enjoyable time.
After Elli was all done with her classes, we went home on a smaller bus and her mom made some crepe-like things that we put jelly or Nutella on, rolled it up, and then cut it into pieces to eat. It was pretty good. Then I played (German) Rummicube with Julia and Lukas. I like playing it with Germans better that at home. ;) I didn't win either game, but I didn't lose, either. It was funny, though, because instead of saying "next" when you're done with your turn, you say "weiter" (which means further, or continue), and it was a little hard to get used to listening for that. When I told them that we say "next" in America, Lukas would sometimes say "next." :) Their cat jumped up on me and laid on my lap for a bit while we played. Then their Oma stopped in and she said something to me in Bayrisch (Bavarian), and I understood it!
Then Elli and I and Sandra (a girl from her class) got dropped off at a soccer game in Winhöring that Ollie and some others that Elli knows were playing in. Jake was there (obviously, since Ollie - Oliver - is his host), so I sat with him and we mostly just talked the whole time or played with snails (they were EVERYWHERE there along the walkway! Snail = Schnecke). It was actually pretty enjoyable. On the drive home I saw my first two German deer that ran across the road.
