HALLO MEINE FREUNDEN

Liz told me that I have to start a blog so I can share my long german tales with everyone. So, HI LIZ! HI EVERYONE ELSE. First, I have to tell you, that German keyboards are queer, and the y and z key are switched, so if I ever slip up and say something like "Have a nice daz, and i like to eat piyya" then you have to be forgiving of me. Also, I havent actually found the apostrophe yet, I think this is it ´ but its hard to reach, and I pretty much dont use it. Got it? Good.

Anyway, what did Michelle do today? Well my "siblings" took me on a mini tour of Falkensee, by bicycle. I havent really ridden in a long time. I can ride a bike just fine, no problems... except the bike was too tall for me (figures) and I cant stand still on the bike without hopping off the seat or falling off. How am I supposed to balance if my legs dont reach the ground, and Im not in motion? Anyway, so every time we had to stop at an intersection, I caused a big fiasco and embarressed myself, and attempted to explain in German... "Ich kann gut fahren, aber ich kann nicht halten oder gehen! Ich bin sehr kleine", et cetera. Anyway, so we went down to a small lake, which Im asuming is the Falken See itself. We got ice cream, which in german is just "ice" but its spelled like "Eis". And then rode back, idk how long, I think someone said it was 6 or 7 km.

So later, we had to make an escapade to the store. On bike. My rump was realllly sore, and when I got back on the bike, it was terrible because it was hurting me in the exact spot that I was sore! Maybe Im just a baby. Anyway, so yeah, we had to buy Bröt und Bananen und Äpfel und Käse und Kartofeln. What joy, what joy.

So now, here I am, with a terribly sore bottom.

Oh, but wait, my bed struggles! Okay, so my bed is like a futon. For the first two nights I just slept with it couch like, because it was comfortable enough by me. But then I decided to expand my experiences and try it folded out. Its the exact same except twice as big now. But for a foot or so, just on one half, it folds up (jeez, I am explaining this poorly, just pretend you know what Im talking about) and now I cant get it down. I should ask for help eventually. And my windows, now! I have these amazing blinds that completely block out the sun, which is great for sleeping, except I never want to wake up, because I feel like its 4 am even when its 10:30. I think I should com-promise with one window blinded and one not... wow I am so boring, I ought to cease typing. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED LIZ?

Okay well thatll do pig, thatll do.
