mein erste Post auf Deutsch :D ich hoffe dieses Post ist richtig also, wahrend grammatik und so :D Aber bin Ich froh mit mein Zeit in Deutschland. Bin ich hier schon 8 monate und die ganze Zeit war genial. Ich sollte dass früher probieren, aber hatte ich immer angst mit mein Deutsch! Sonst alles gut hier in Deustchland. Ich wachsele Gastfamilien an Sonntag schon, und das heißt das letzte teil meines Austausch ist hier. Meine lezte 3 monate in Deustchland. Was hab ich gelernt? Viel. Ganz Viel. Nicht nur Bier trinken, auto gucken, und Partys gehen. Nein.. Mehr als dass. Ich habe viel von mein Leben gelernt. Ich bin nicht ger gleiche Junge das hat als Amerika in August gekommen.. Nein.. Ich bin großer als der. Ich habe mit ein Land verliebt. Deutschland. Sprachenlich, alles ist gut. Ich denke, also, 80 oder so procent kann ich jetzt verstehen wenn jemand mochten mit mir sprechen. Mein "Smalltalk" ist jetzt sehr gut.. :D Aber bin ich nicht fertig züruck nach Amerika kommen. Ich fühle mich dass, ich muss mehr machen. Mehr Abenteuer haben... Weniger Komputer zeit... Mehr Freunde besuchen.. Zeit ist schatz... und Zeit geht sau schnell...

Ein bisschen Deutsches Musik! :D

Update on the life of Jakub Wrobel

I just realized that I am leaving very soon.. and also feel like there is so much still left to be done. These next months are going to fly by, with Easter Break coming up and Eurotour soon after that. I think I am both excited and not to come home.. Excited to see my family, finally get to meet little Lilia again :), see how big Leo and Seba got, hang out with my mom before she has a heart attack.. (Zartuje :D), with my older siblings who I miss dearly, and have an amazing 2 month summer break before school starts in September. Right now, everything is going great in Germany. I am playing soccer every Tuesday and Thursday, immediately following Sprachkurs (Language courses) that I am still taking every Tuesday and Thursday in prep for Depaul. I am switching host families on April 1st, and will begin my third part of my exchange year. The time here has passed by so fast... I need to find a way to slow it all down! D: I had the opportunity to travel, via Deutscher Bahn, to Mannheim in south Germany (will do a different post about it soon including pics and all..). I routinely attend SV MEPPEN matches now, in Meppen, Emsland, about 20 km north of Lingen. Those are always a lot of fun, although they usually lose.. IT AIN'T NO THANG! That is all I can think about for right now, I never know what to write on here :/ I feel like it's always too little, or way too much. I'm gonna go outside and breath the German air, because I know I will not have the luxury of it in a couple of months. Now is the time to do things different, to go on bike rides, jump off a bridge and swim in a river (Im waiting on the right weather! :D and the people who have the guts! :D), and just enjoy myself. I don't think it's bad of me to say that I do. I think everyone deserves to be happy, and this exchange has made me a different person. A happier one. It taught me how to appreciate the little things in life, and I am continuing to enjoy every little thing.

New Pics!!!

SV MEPPEN!

Today I got to experience my first German football match! A town called Meppen, about 20 km north of Lingen has a football team that plays in RegionalLigaNord, which is basically the 4th tier of football in Germany. The home team Meppen, was facing off against Germania Halberstadt, some team in East Germany.. Anyway, my host father is a sponsor of SV Meppen! So he has season VIP tickets, which includes VIP seating, free food, free drinks, access to the press conference afterwards, and free food.. (Did I mention that already? :D) It was a very awesome experience! The stadium wasn't full, at about only 2,000 people, but the atmosphere was definitely memorable! The game ended 1-1, and the press conference afterwards was pretty depressing, because the trainer thought they played pretty bad.. nonetheless, AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

Not a good bye, only a see you later ;)

That seems to be the exchange student motto.. I had to say goodbye yesterday to my friend Juliane, who had to return to Brazil to go to University and continue her life. I always hate saying good bye, and am never good at it, but I decided to make this post about our 6 months together.. A few pictures, a few memories over all that we went through, what we learned, and what we got out of it. I will miss you JU! You are an amazing person, that is no doubt. I am so very happy I got to meet you, as you taught me what it is to care about someone, someone's problems, someone else's life. Thank you for everything Ju, I don't mean to make this all sentimental, but I miss YOU :D :* :* Velha.
