Well I joined a dance team. My host mom leads a dance group for Karnival, and now Paula (from Chile) and I are in it. I'm not sure that either of us really knew what we were getting in to because of the language barrier, but it is a lot of fun.
I also played volleyball with my host parents on Thursday. Usually the family goes, but Maike was in Berlin on a class trip, and Gerrit had soccer practice. It was my first time ever playing, and I loved it. I might consider playing for the school team in Alaska next year. It depends of if it interferes with Robotics or shooting.
The robotics season in Alaska starts TODAY! The kickoff is at 11am Alaska time, which is 9pm tonight here. I'm so excited to find out what the game is. I have a lot of good ideas already that I would love to share with my team. 5358 is going to the state competition again this year. No questions about it.
I was hoping to be able to skype in to the kickoff, but no one has responded to me so I'll just watch it here when it's released and email my team of something.
Nerdettes for life! <3
More later.
