Okay I have been here for 4 months now and I have had the best time ever my next 6-7 months will be just as filled hopefully. Friday one of me friends and exchange student mentors goes home he has taught me so much and helped me with so much that I needed. Also a lot of other exchange students will be leaving and that is really sad but they have taught us the most important things that we will ever learn in life. This Friday is supposed to be the end of the world and personally I think it won't but who knows. Christmas is also 6 days away I can't wait here they do the most celebrating on the 24 and just relax on the 25 my first Christmas away outside the U.S. this will be fun. Tonight I actually went shooting with my cousin Markus he is basically my brother, but yeah he has a range set up in the garage attic it was only a pellet pistol so don't worry. What I have been up to since last time well I went and hung out with my girls Paula and Mallory they are probably the greatest friends I have in Rotary. That is mainly it . Friday I will go to a party to meet some new friends and hang out it will be fun. Luka is going back home for two weeks and so is everyone in my class except for me and marina hopefully that means we will hang out but I am not to sure. Okay that is all for now maybe on the 26th I will write about my Christmas. Bye

My week update I will try to update my blog at least once a week maybe more. To start on the weekend I went to Münster for the Rotary christmas weekend to hang out with friends and say goodbye to the oldies (exchange students that are leaving) that was fun I learned how to train hop with one of my friends that was great. On Sunday I moved in with my new host family they are awesome I have a host sister that is just full of energy and fun but she is Victoria's age so just can't get away from older sisters, I have a host cousin that will live with us for a little bit till she get her job in Dusseldorf, and my host mom is great oh she is so fun and is really helping me with my german in fact my entire family is. I have made some new friends, Alina she comes to get me for school every morning. I live in a new town called Uedem small but only a 20 minute bike ride from the Netherlands. Tuesday not much happened just felt sick same with Wednesday. Also I met up with Paula and Mallory this week not for long but enough time. Today is thursday nothing special happened. Tomorrow I go to a birthday party of a cousin. Saturday I go with my first host brother to see a professional Fußball game in Dusseldorf. Sunday I go to Moers (where Mallory lives to go shopping and to hang out with my Canadian girl (Mallory) and maybe Paula. Then Monday back to school. Oh yeah you may not care but Luka, Jonathan, Florian, and I are going to a concert with big name Hip Hop artists so yeah that will be fun. I also got the best deal ever on shoes €20 which is just amazing here they are ( kind of dirty).

I am also going to try and hang out with Gilly one of my best friends on New Years maybe go to Dusseldorf to celebrate so I don't I am depressed because he is leaving but I will definitely visit him as much as possible.
If you want to ask personal questions here is my email if you don't have it jessepannill@yahoo.com I check it almost daily.
Also my list of wants are still as of today the same cash is still greatly appreciated.
Okay that is all for now hope you enjoy and yeah goodbye.

Okay this week is the weirdest week yet. On Friday I went to CentrO it is a big mall but it has a Christmas market outside which was cool Luka, Jonathan, Jacqueline, and Florian went with me. On Saturday I went with my Rotary Club on a tour of an old coal facility it was fun but long. When I got back I went to hang out with Luka and it started to snow so we played in it with his sister and made a snowman. On Sunday I went to a charity thing with my family during the morning. In the afternoon I went to hang out with Mallory and Paula and we used public transportation the exchange student way it was fun we went all over the place just doing nothing. Today it snowed again all day and it was cold. This Friday I am going to Münster for the christmas weekend and to say goodbye to all the exchange students that will be going home in December and January. Then on Sunday I change host families and will move to Uedem. That is my week and what is going on so just letting you know.
