Oh! Darling

Hello, all. Sorry it has been a few days since my last post. 

Thursday, we didn't really do much. Finished most of our training... just a lot of repetitive information that I learned during Kinder care training. So, I was pretty bored, and falling asleep with my eyes open. We came home from work and to sum the night up, I fell asleep by 9:05. The boys did a little exploring at the train station, which seems like a busy place. They have some damn good crepes there! Sooo delicious. Although, I did buy some minutes through Skype to call back home. I only got a hold of Erin. It was nice to talk to her. I miss her. 

Friday, we went to work, as usual, although today we did more observations. Apparently, or supposedly, I may get to choose what class I want to work with. I still am not sure. I like them all! I believe we completely finished our training so YAY! No more learning about things that I already know about!! After work we came home and got ready; we decided to go out and explore the night life. I must say that I looked cute, but it was ruined by rain... LAME. We headed off to the train station to check out the train times for Heidleberg, get some crepes, and Gulwine (a red wine that the crepe lady put into the microwave for 50 seconds and served it in a coffee cup to go), and some beers. So good! We figured out the Wiesbaden bus, with the help of a friendly German girl. Although, we didn't find where the bars and discos were. (By the way, when I say "we," I mean me and the 4 other interns.) We found a few here and there, downtown seems big and beautiful, but I would like to see it in the day, and take a large amount of pictures. Trent wanted to find the Casino, which we ran across, and Mike has been talking non-stop about a Gummi Bear store, which we ran across too. So both boys can calm down. Hahaha. I really can't wait to explore the city in the day But we haven't so far...

Today, we ended up having to work today. Ick! They are called "super Saturdays," I told Granny they aren't so super for those of us that have to work, but I suppose it is super for the parents... Since we worked today though, we get an extra day off in February, so we get to save that for later.... apparently. It is hard to plan on what to do and where to go until we know when we have to work and everything. We will see though, I mean we haven't even had a visit from our Project Coordinator, who is our Supervisor.  We have kind of just been on our own, going with the flow. 

Tomorrow, we are planning to go to Heidleberg, we have all heard it is pretty amazing. A day trip is in order. Our first day off and no relaxing, but it will be exciting to see a new part of Germany, even though I haven't seen this part of Germany in the day yet. 

I'm not starving yet, just rationing. Hah. There is a supermarket on base that is extremely cheap, but unfortunately we are not allowed there unless we go with someone who is actually a part of the community. There are people that are willing to take us, so thats amazinggggg. We just have to coordinate something. 

If I think of anything else I need to tell you all, I will post it. If not, I will post tomorrow with my adventures of Heidleberg. Love you all. Miss you terribly.
