This is an entry from the journal I kept when I went to Germany as part of GAPP. Please check out all the entries using the gapp_journal tag.

Today was just a day of school. Jana didn't have a first period because she had to turn in her books. Then second period the American students met with Frau Failing. Then third period I went to Jana's Sozialleunde. At the beginning they were talking about Kosovo, Yugoslavians, Croatians and the war (Krieg). Fourth I went with Jacob to the store, that's a usual stop for most of the Americans during school. Then Jana and I went home because was done.

We came back some time after one, and she had music practice. One younger girl started talking to me in German and soon realized I'm from America and started practicing English on me. She was pretty good considering she'd only taken one year of English. I used some German with her. She seemed to like that and continued speaking English. I drew some pictures on the blackboard and she'd write the German word then I'd write the English.

After school Jana and I went out and bought me temporary (4-6 weeks) hair color in purple. After dinner we dyed my hair and found out that it was long enough that I needed two kits not just one. Jana's going to buy the second one after school and we'll re-do the ends after I get back from the bakery tomorrow. It's a cool color and it'll look better once the ends have a little more color. My 'rents will freak when I get home. Well, that's it. Tschüss!
