events of the past week

Alright, here I am again. It's been a while since my last post and a lot has happened...

1. I guess everybody noticed: Germany is NOT gonna be world cup champion anymore. We lost the game against Italy last tuesday... At least we have the chance to be third-best by winning against Portugal this evening. if we don't win that game I'm gonna be really pissed... So, now Italy and France can fight over the title. Whatever, we'll be back 2010! Just you wait...

2. My family and me were invited for dinner yesterday at Steve's new apartment. Well, it's actually not his apartment, but he shares it with some other guys. For all the people who don't know who I'm talking about: Steve was our exchange student from the States for 3 weeks. He's been in Germany for almost a year now to study German politics. At least that's what he's supposed to do... but actually life as a student doesn't seem to be to hard. He spent half the time travelling to other cities and European countries. If you wanna find out more about him check out his blog.
Anyways, he cooked for us that evening ( with a little help of his girlfriend Colleen who is also in Germany to study ) and desperately tried to thicken that Polenta of his... at that moment he had been standing in the kitchen for several hours already and we had to assure him that the Polenta was great the way it was ( and we weren't lying. It really tasted very good )

3. It's only one more week 'til the summer holidays start. All tests are written and all lectures held. YEAH! On monday and tuesday will be the conferences for the school reports. If there'll be any homework, I guess no ones gonna do it anymore. I mean, who can blame us?

4. On 4th July me and my mom went to a barbecue party of the 'German-American society Trier'. First and foremost to get to know some Americans and people that love the States as much as I do :-). We already have some connections ( see 2. ) and we are invited to an American-German ''Polterabend'' in two weeks. A ''Polterabend'' is something non-existent in any English-speaking country and therefore there is no English term for it. To quote from a dictionary: 'Party at the house of the bride's parents on the eve of a wedding, at which crockery is smashed to bring good luck'. That's gonna be pretty cool because all the groom's ( American ) relatives and friends will be there aswell of course... ;-).

Hola. Well, best of luck with your finals in school. Of course you can put that video on your blog as well! It's VERY simple.

All you have to do is cut and paste a html code for the video into your blog. I tried putting the html code in this comment window, but it won't let me. That makes sense because if I were to place the code here, it would just place the video itself in the comments window.

An alternative is that I could give you the code through another medium. Do you use AIM (american online instant messenger)? If so, just IM me at Baadshah037 and I will message you the code or instructions. If you don't have AIM, give me you e-mail or something.

Again, best of luck in your studies.
