Hello!

I am back home, after I was on Sylt last week.

Tuesday morning we met us at 10.15am by the train. After some hours we had to change the train because a door in the train was broken and they had to repair the door. Another hour later we arrived, only with 10 minutes late arrival, in Westerland. Than we had to ride the bus for another 20 minutes and around 2.30pm we arrived in the youth hostel. The first group was already there and was waiting in some common rooms. We all had to wait another hour or maybe two and than we went to the gym. There we got our keys for our rooms, but first there were not enough rooms and than the keys for some rooms were missing. Around 5pm we had all our rooms. I was with 5 other peoples in a room. At 7 pm we ate dinner, we had chicken fricassee. At 8pm we met in the gym and we divided up into 8 groups. We had to go to one station to another and at every station we played a game to get to know each other. Around 10pm we went to our rooms or to a common room and talked to each other or played games. We, my roommates and I, went to our room and talked for a while and than we went to bed.

On Wednesday morning we waked up around 8am and we ate breakfast at 9am. At 9.30am we went into different groups. Within 45 minutes we had to build a tower with 8 sheets of paper, a scissor and a glue stick. Between 12 and 2pm, we had free time. We, most of the girls, had lunch at 1pm, we had Bockwurst. The boys and some girls ate one hour earlier because we were too many people to eat at the same time. From 2pm until 6pm we were in the groups again and did career management. From 6pm on until 8pm we had free time again. We ate dinner at 7pm. For dinner we ate bread or leftovers from lunch. In our free time, before lunch and before dinner, we went to the beach. It was a little bit cold, but the sun was shinning and we wore warm jackets. I forgot what we did after dinner. I know we went to our room later and talked for a little while and went to sleep than, but I don't know what we did between dinner and going to our room.

On Thursday we woke up at 7.30am and at 9am we ate breakfast. Between 9.30 and 12 we were in the groups again and did more career management. Thursday we had free time between 12 and 3pm. Lunch was at 1pm again. We had rissoles and French fries. After that we went to the beach and at 3pm we had a plenum in the gym. We formed committees for the different things for graduation, for example, parties, yearbook and prom. I am in the committee for the yearbook now. From 3.30pm to 6pm, we had career management again, but my group finished that before lunch and instead of sitting in a room and talking about some stuff, we went to the beach. We ate dinner at 7pm again and at 9pm we started with the evening program. All people, who wanted, met in a common room and than some people played the piano or the guitar and we sung some songs. Around 12pm we went to bed.

On Friday we woke up at 7.30am again because we had to pack our stuff and clean our room until 9.30. We were finished with all that at 8.30am and than we went to breakfast. After that we had to wait in some common rooms until 10am or 11am. I had to wait until 11am because I was in second group again. Around 11.30am we were in Westerland and there we had one hour free time until the train was ready to go. At 3.30pm we were in Hamburg again and 4.20pm I was back home.

On Monday school is starting again and from now on until Christmas break I am taking at least one test per week. The last three days before Christmas break I am taking every day one.

Have a great week,

Mirja

P.S.: I forgot to tell you. My old camera didn't work really well, so I couldn't take a lot of pictures, but I took some. I took my old camera with me, because I didn't want that somebody steal my new one.
