Heyyyyy so for today's throwback Thursday I'm going to do something a little bit different. I thought I had found my old diary and I was going to post something from that that would have been inspirational and it probably would have been helpful for high school freshman... But I couldn't actually find that journal. Go figure. Anyhoo I found a Travel Journal from when I went to Europe, so I thought hey why not read from that for something different.
This isn't like a private journal of my innermost thoughts and feelings or anything, it's just little updates from the trip, I went as a sort of school trip, teachers looked at this... It's just basically a summary of what happened kind of. Here's a short entry from The Black Forest in Germany:
Right now we are in the Black Forest. We saw a demonstration about how coukou (I don't know if I'm spelling this right) clocks are made. It was actually really funny and interesting.
Dinner tonight was not pasta! I was really excited for this at first, but then I had a sudden craving for pasta. We had barbeque and it was really good.
We took a hike in the Black Forest tonight. It was really beautiful. I never liked hikes really until I went on this trip. I still don't think I would like them in a New Jersey Forest because they aren't as beautiful.
I'm so happy I could go on this trip. It really is amazing and I've made a lot of new friends because of it. Sometimes I'm kind of tired and frustrated about little things, but it really is amazing. I love it here.
This was really undetailed about the trip. I wish I wrote about where I was and anything about how they actually made coukou clocks. Seriously it was amazing that we got a demonstration about it but I don't remember a damn thing about it! Lol I do remember where I stayed though, it was this smaller hotel that looked like a coukou clock. There was a little show with this animatronic coukou clock figurines that came out and danced, it looked a lot like "It's a Small World" kind of. It was really cute.
I was also a little nervous and excited because we had a home stay in Germany and I didn't really know what to expect. We stayed with an actual German family and we went to school with them and hung out with them. It was scary at first when I heard about it, but I had emailed with her a bit and I was excited to meet her, and everything worked out and her family was really nice and reminded me of my own family. The school was interesting too.
I just thought it would be kind of fun to share a bit about my trip and how I feel about it now. I know I have a really detailed story... Well actually a few really detailed stories probably in my personal journal from high school and I kind of want to find that to have a more personal look back at everything.
Anyway, that's all for this (slightly late) Throwback Thursday. Let me know if you traveled or if you want to know more travel tales.
Movie review tomorrow for a movie I really enjoyed!
Byeeee!
