And so the plot thickens...

So it's about time I filled you all in a little more on what i've been up to I guess!
Hmm.. where did I get to last time? Only my second day here... so there is much to be said to get you all up to date!
I spent the rest of that week not doing much really. I had no internet.. (though must have spent at least £20 on my phone on internet, and another £20 or so on texts!) and no friends in this place! So I just made the most of my time by going out and exploring! And rather luckily I brough my Lord of the Rings Trilogy book, so that passed some time! (Still haven't finished it yet, though this time I may actually make it all the way to the end!!)
That was pretty much my week until saturday. I ventured into Potsdam a couple of times and things got less and less scary as the week went on, but I did nothing out of the ordinary!
Then.. on Saturday, my flatmate arrived! The morning went quite quickly! She came, dropped her stuff off, said hi.. or Hallo! rather, then she left again to get food.. whilst I was sat on my bed, still reading Lord of the Rings!! ha! I then sat for ages wondering what she was going to be like; would I get along with her? would she be weird? would she be nice? would I understand her?!
Finally she came back later that day and unpacked all her stuff, then came into my room.. and she had bought me a doughnut!! Great ice breaker! Saved me from having to try starting a conversation! Found out her name is Anne (pronounced Anna) We sat in the kitchen and chatted for a while and I lost all my worries! She was (and still is..) lovely!! That evening we had tea together.. it was what I would call typically German! Bread, sausages.. you know the kind I mean! Was tasty anyway!
Then on Sunday.. I went with Doreen (english teacher) to some random park nearby and we walked round that. It was all picturesque.. as is the whole area around me here! Then we went to some castle place, Cecilienhof Castle I think it was called. We went around that and it had all historic stuff about erm.. Friedrich umm the second.. maybe! I don't remember. But it was all cultural and whatnot, so I felt a bit smart! We also went on a guided tour of the bedrooms where they used to sleep (duh!) which was all in very fast spoken german! eep! But my god do I wish I was a princess back in umm.. whenever they lived there! haha. They had their own huge bathrooms each, a whole room to use as a dressing room.. and a humungous bedroom! The bath was a massive walk in one that was in the ground! It was amazing! That is now my aim in life!! Have a bath in my bathroom floor :D haha
Then I went to a brewery on the edge of a huge lake but I don't even like beer... so I couldn't have any of their beer! Instead I had an apple juice!! Boring I know! But oh well..
Then on Monday work began!! I had to be awake at 6.15am! :| Went into the school and was with the 3rd class (equivalent to year 4 i think) and I just sat in on a german and maths lesson with them to get a feel for the school. Then they did half an english lesson too! But I didn't really have to do much with that. Then after that, I went into Potsdam with Anne and I bought the internet!! Waheyy! That was a good day for me! Haha!
Tuesday: again up at 6.15am and was in the 4th and 5th classes! Nothing of much interest happened in those, I got asked a few questions about england and that was about it. Then when I got home, I went to look around the university with Anne so she knew where she had to go when her lectures began. Then I had to go into Potsdam to get some money cause theres no Geldautomat (cash machine!) in Golm (village i live in..). Got approached by three girls asking if I could buy their cinema tickets cause they werent 18 yet! They looked older than me!! I just said NEIN!! and ran away rather swiftly!! :D then got my train back home and didn't do much else that evening.
Wednesday was probably the funniest day for me! I was in a class with another english teacher today and it was the other 5th class. They were far braver with the questions they asked my about myself and England!! One little boy in particular, called Noah, had the following conversation with me:
Noah: "Do you have a boyfriend"
Me: "No"
N: "Oh my god!! Can I have your number?"

Teacher: "I think that's a secret Noah!"

N: "Where do you live?"
M: "I live in Golm"
N: "I live in Golm!! What is your address"
T: "I think knowing she lives in Golm is enough Noah"

Made me chuckle so much! Bear in mind that i'm working in a primary school! So this boy can't have been any older than 10/11!!
Anywhooo, Wednesday afternoon, once I got back, I went to Park Sanssouci with Anne. Its this mega huge park near me which is amazingly beautiful with lots of fountains and pretty trees and statues and buildings and stuff!! Walked around there all afternoon! Then came home!
Thursday (today!): Went to school this morning, didn't do much, just helped out in the class and then finished at 9.30am! Haven't done much this evening! Ohhh I watched Twilight in German though! And now I want a vampire boyfriend please!!!! :D haha
Tomorrow, school again.. though I get a lie in! Up at 8.30am instead of 6.15!! can't be bad! :D Don't think I'm doing much tomorrow evening. Think Anne may have a friend coming over but I'm not so sure!

Then saturday, if weather is good, we are going to watch a canoe race in Potsdam! Woop! Funtimes.
Sunday Anne is going home for the week, so back to being bored for a week, but at least this time I will have the internet!! So shouldn't be too bad!!
This post on my blog hasn't been nearly as funny/interesting as the last now I think about it.. but i'm sure soon I'll have more good things to tell you all!!
Toodles for now!!
