Viva La sehr lustig abend...

OKAYY.
Lets see I am horrible at this whole monthly blog thing sorry. Since I last wrote to the world I have succesfuly turned Germany upside down, survived 3 months here, gone through excactly 100 days and lived to tell the tale. What can I say have I got talent or have I got talent?
I have done alot of thinking for this blog post and have decided I have no idea what to say.
You know that feeling of being alone in a strange land where its like OHH my what am i doing here please stop pointing and laughing noticing my accent and or talking to me in english and just flat out wanting to cry in the middle of the street. I have had alot of that feeling latley.
AND this is where the story gets GOOD!
I Amy Elizabeth Boggs have come to a few relizations in my life. After switching my host family and being taken in by a friend because I had to go. After crying in school because everyone was laughing at me because I couldn't saying the words in my Biogloy presentation right. After travling alone for the first time to a new city and thinking who I am...the conclusion is here! 
Bom Bom BOM
I am an American
I don't like to walk places and I eat everything from a box. My favorite place in the world is Giant and I cry a little bit everytime my friends say they don't know who Frosty the Snowman is. I love eating in school. I regret not being prouder of my country while I was still there. I am fat on the inside and skinny on the outside. Yup I am an American
I am a German
We take breaks in school more then anyone I have ever seen. I eat bread with ever meal and drink funny water. I say Danke not Thank You..Nothing is wrong with me when my door is closed I just like it that way.  I see 2,000 year old Romen Baths everyday on my way to school. No, I am a German.
I am Exchange Student
I am strong and weak all in one. Sometime I have no idea but that doesn't stop me. I eat everything and try everything. Everyday is a new day. I learn something new about my self  and in the process connect to others. I have overcame things people couldn't even dream of and in German. I know who I am...I am an Exchange Student.  
   


As Chirstmas rolls around I want to test my skills so:
Merry Christmas
Frohe Weihnachten
Vielz Naviedad
Joyeux Noël

4 languages I think thats pretty good:) For those of you who don't know the Germans celebrate on the 24th. So if you want to celebrate double christmas become an exchange student just saying because I am celebrating two Christmases. One German style and one American style. YAY!
Alles Liebe. Ich wunsche alles eine schöne Weihnachten! (Lots of love I wish everyone a beautiful Chirstmas),
